For the average person using 1 speaker for party purposes it’s not too bad. You can hook it up to a smart phone or computer and you get pretty decent sound.Using in Bluetooth TWS stereo mode is where it gets trickier. You can follow the directions and get True Wireless Bluetooth stereo which sounds very good. Now there are 2 issues. First is no matter what you do, Bluetooth does not have the frequency response of wired stereo no matter what. Second issue that I found is The wireless set-up can be fragile since when it becomes disconnected it can get confused and difficult to re-connect based on the set-up you use. You just might come home from work to listen to music and the bluetooth connection is lost, with 10 minutes of work to re-set and re-pair everything.Since I like the best possible sound and the minimum of fuss, I went with a wired set-up. I keep my speakers set up where they have the best frequency response in the room. Usng a wired set-up is more reliable and sounds better due to the better frequency response. I also run a Behringer EQ in line with my laptop to get the best possible sound and the EQ also has a built in amp which provider a stronger output that doesn’t lose the bass at higher volumes. (onboard computer or smartphone audio chips sometimes just can’t pack any punch).To use in wired mode, 1.Turn on both speakers at the same time. 2. Plug in a cable to the aux in of one speaker and the aux out of the other speaker immediately. Within 10-15 seconds you’ll hear the speakers say Left Channel & Right Channel. 3. Connect your computer or EQ cable to the aux in of the remaining speaker. NOTE: until you connect everything together, you might get a loud hum, or if you disconnect your computer you can get a loud hum. To stop this just press the on/off switch on one of the speakers.This sounds like it might be a lot of work, and it might be, but this will result in trouble free sound coming from $400 worth of speakers that sounds every bit as good as a $2000-$3000 stereo set-up at a fraction of the cost and a tiny size. Using the set-up I outlined above, if you are very particular about your audio and want a really excellent sound system for a very low cost, I would highly recommend this set-up. Also, for outdoor parties, you can still un-plug everything and take it outside and use it in TWS bluetooth mode. You get the best of both worlds. I highly recommend this product. Also, the customer support is outstanding. They were very helpful in guiding me through the hard wired set-up.EDIT: I had an issue with the speakers in the regard that I keep these speakers in a sleeping area and sometimes even when I listen to music, I like to do that with the room lights off. And when sleeping, I prefer a dark room. Unfortunately, as it stands you have to do a full power down to turn the Speaker LED’s off, and that can be tricky.So I contacted Abramtek and asked them if there was a way to turn the speaker LED’s off. They contacted me back in 1 day and said they would do a custom firmware version for me to do that. 3 days later they sent me an email with a link to do just that, along with upgrading directions. I followed the directions and 15 minutes later I was listening to music with the speaker LED’s off. Now, once you do that, you cannot turn the LED’s on any more, but for me that is just fine. I like the speakers better with the LED’s off anyways. Classier looking I think.I have to say I am VERY impressed with Abramtek. To think that they would do a custom Version of firmware to make a change like that for one customer and do it so quickly is amazing. That is OUTSTANDING customer service!Abramtek has further told me that if anyone would like the Custom Firmware version to turn off the light LED’s, just contact their customer support and they will help you out, AWESOME!

I absolutely love this speaker! My first impression was WOW! The sound quality is awesome! The style is sleek and modern. If you don’t have this speaker, GET IT! Note: customer service is quick and the workers are competent.

I have a Klipsch 2.1 system which is MORE than enough for when I want to FEEL the music in my decent sized studio apartment. It’s like 350sq ft and most of it is all one central area, not compartmentalized. I have a little Vava voom 20 for low level background music (and for movies…Klipsch would seriously bother the neighbors since I normally watch movies at night and the tiny Vava is so accurate on bluetooth and I always stream from my PC). Now to this thing! It is EXACTLY what I needed! Something that can pump out serious ACCURATE bass that can go very low, but isn’t going to shake the place apart. I’ve tried a similar item from literally every manufacturer and this thing is just so much more sonically accurate!!! Bass in most smaller speakers is just too strong and inaccurate in the mid-bass. Not this…and the design saves so much space – and I thought i always wanted a shelf speaker. The ACTUAL ported (not a radiator) bass design with the sub in the down tube stand and dual reflex design is simply amazing. It’s not meant to thump you out of your chair with kick drums on a rock song (you have to get actual massive air moving subs for that) but is does an EXCELLENT job thumping electronic type bass hits like from trance/progressive ACCURATELY. And the bass is strong! But it’s not meant to really move a ton of air. Even in my extremely insulated apartment I’m sure a lot of songs turned up would bother the neighbors with the bass. I cannot stress enough how accurate the vocal range this produces is. You really need a seperate sub and proper ported design for accurate lows, and this speaker proves it. Like I said…probably tried almost a dozen others…many prices twice as much…this is absolutely better. Battery life is good but it’s designed to be plugged in. Nobody looks at this and thinks “I’ll throw that in my backpack for the beach”…too tall for that, lol. Love this thing.

Works good good bass recommend getting 2# tho 1 wouldn’t give enough bass if that’s what your looking for .comes with 2# cords 2#chargers..Power on/off on top. On the back is the chargers slots… Give the battery life an 4* bc I charged it to its full charge then turned it off and when i went to go turn on the next day they were dead so I had to plug the both charges in to get the full bass EQ 2.

This speaker is like nothing I have ever seen. Great looking speaker, very modern appeal. The sound…the sound quality is actually really good. It gets really loud and has a well balanced sound. It definitely pushes some nice lows for a bluetooth speaker. Bass that you can hear and feel. I am happy with it. The 4hour battery life is pretty accurate from what I have experienced. No difference in sound if playing while charging or via battery. Bluetooth works great, no drops and connects easily. Really great sounding speaker, I might buy another one and pair them for true stereo. Recommend!

I ordered the e600 after researching on-line for systems to enhance the sound quality of music generated by my Echo Plus. This one is perfect! The sound quality is clear and crisp and provides stereo quality sound. I’m a bit of a bass fanatic, though, and wanted even more so I added a Polk PSW10 subwoofer.I had some difficulty combining the three so I emailed Abramtek for technical assistance. Linda walked me through the necessary steps and even sent me a video to help me understand better the necessary connections between the Echo, the subwoofer, and the e600. Listen, I have had numerous experiences with customer/technical service from a large variety of companies and my experience dealing with Linda is THE BEST I’VE EVER HAD!!!Bottom Line: The sound quality of the e600 is TOP-NOTCH!

This speaker is awesome. Full, rich sound. Deep bass. I bought one and loved it so much that I got another one and paired them.

After delivery of the speaker we placed it our basement as a way to get around having wires run through or on the walls. The sound was rich and connectivity was stable. We were very happy with purchase. A few months later and unknown to us until that night our tenant had some anger management issues and after evidently receiving some news that did not sit well with him he decided to use the speaker as a battering ram on the doors. A few hours and several damaged doors later things finally settled down (luckily no one was hurt). We thought the speaker was done for as there is no way a speaker could through that kind of abuse for that long and still sound good. Behold, we plug it in and turn it up and it sounds just as good as they day we bought it. I am now thinking about using it to as a sledgehammer to remove my old concrete patio while jammin’ out to classic Tom Petty songs.

Living in Canada this speaker can be expensive to purchase ($400 to $500 Canadian) but luckily I got a good deal on eBay for one speaker coming from the US (I paid about $250 Canadian).Money well spent because I am a bass lover and this speaker delivers. Any buyer of any speaker should select quality music to play so I selected jazz bass guitar off YouTube and the sound filled the floor. I also rented a cottage one week and brought the speaker with me. One day I brought the speaker outside and I could walk over 30 feet away and still be amazed at the quality of sound. After having one speaker for about 3 months, I purchased another (just over $300 Canadian from Amazon.com) and the stereo separation is clear while still providing the same quality bass. I will not play old 60’s music or rock and roll on any speaker and expect to be amazed, however, jazz and progressive house (electronic instrumental) come over very clear and powerful.I have read many of the negative reviews and I can understand that sometimes people receive a dud and it puts them off the product. I do not understand the reviews that insult the quality of the sound.

These are unlike any other speaker you may have heard! They are incredibly well made speaker. The sound quality and heart felt bass sound is impressive. A true work of art. I received these speakers a day ago, charged then for about three hours and they have been playing for about 10 hours and counting.The sound mode can be changed with a single press of a button, and changed to a more deep bass boost. This is truly remarkable!A second pair can be synced to have an even more theatric sound. I can just imagine how awesome that would be!If you love technology designs, and minimalism, these set the pace with the look and standards! Solid metal base yet light enough. Only 8 pounds. The soft light they produce when on is a great night light also. The Bluetooth range is great! Put them in a corner, you’ll get more of the bass sound feel!
