Soundfreaq Sound Platform 2 | Portable Bluetooth Speaker with Stereo System | Hifi System with Wireless Speakers | Indoor & Outdoor speaker

This is my second sound platform because it’s the best sound quality and value for your money period

I purchased the Sound Platform 2 as a birthday gift for an iphone 5 user. Most reviews I had read stated that this unit had little to no bass, but I had confidence in the unit after hearing the original sound platform on display at various stores. After testing the Sound Platform 2 I can happily say that I do not have any buyer's remorse. The speaker sounds great, offering sparkling highs and crisp mids. This speaker system gave me the goosebumps I feel when I test out expensive speaker docks at stores. Sure, the bass isn't the focus of the design (and I certainly don't recommend getting the unit if you ONLY listen to hip-hop or other bass centered music), but the bass still makes a strong appearance that is amazing for a couple of 3-inch drivers. Those listeners that claim they don't hear any bass in the unit must be spoiled by subwoofers in their car. I don't own any docks because I don't have an iPhone, but I'd say the set's sound is fairly comparable to my Beats Studio headphones. The Sound Platform 2 creates that same "3d sound" that the headphones create so well using crisp, clear audio. The SP2 does a better job than the Beats at instrument separation, giving the illusion that each element of a song has it's own dedicated speaker. The beats have an advantage in bass when listening to hip-hop music, but the bass was very similar in the two devices when I played music by Blink-182, Jason Mraz, Zach Brown band, and Sublime. The SP2 created a perfect balance of sound in genres outside of hiphop and EDM. Getting the music started was easy, too. Pairing through bluetooth was quick and reliable with my HTC One X and the iPhone 5. I never had a dropped connection during the 2 days I tested the unit which was comforting considering this is a proprietary bluetooth device. In conclusion, the unit sounds as good as speakers priced much higher. Hopefully, Soundfreaq finds success in selling high quality products such as this for low prices to pressure the competition to do the same. I wouldn't get the sound platform 2 if I only listened to hip-hop because I personally like extremely heavy bass for that, but even so the Sound Platform 2 still sounds great with hip-hop and EDM because it brings out parts of instrumentals that would go unnoticed with a lower quality speaker. If you listen to a variety of music, this speaker will constantly give you something to smile about.

Unbelievably cheap on amazon for the quality would defiantly pay full price for it.

Bought this at target originally for $150. Set it up at the house and initially thought the sound was a bit off. Messed with the EQ settings on the speaker and on my phone, and eventually it started to sound pretty dang good. I did a lot of reading on many other speakers such as the Sony BTX500, the Bose, etc etc. Reviews say all those speakers sound amazing, so I won an ebay auction for the Sony and returned this to Target. Got the Sony in the mail the next day, and to my surprise, the Soundfreaq actually sounds MUCH better! Not sure if this even has APT-X but it still sounds amazing, plus it has a radio! I love that fact, since many of the speakers out there don't. I also heard the Bose at Target, and it was nice, but is it really worth the price? Doubful. Pros: - GREAT LOUDNESS - Exceptional Bass - FM Radio - Easy to pair - Right size for me - Pairable to create stereo - Aux inputs Cons: - No physical remote, and remote App is a joke - No portability (optional external rechargeable battery available) - No APT-X? (Could be wrong about that, but still sounds really good) Bottom line: After lots (and I mean LOTS) of research, I'll definitely say this is the best non-portable bluetooth stereo out there for the $. I just re-ordered it for $129 on here, and will be returning the Sony (which is supposed to rival the Bose btw).

Great
