Soundfreaq SFQ-06 Sound Platform 2 Bluetooth Speaker System

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.

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 inputsCons:- 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).

This unit puts out quality sound at levels that allow it to be used outdoors or in large rooms. I listened to several units before settling on this one. I really like the FM tuner and the fact that I can program up to 20 favorite stations that can be recalled with the touch of a button. I am using the Bluetooth with my galaxy 3 phone and it works flawlessly with great range and little battery drain. The other nice feature is the USB ports on the back that allow you to keep your phone or other devices continuously charged. The only downside for me has been the android remote control app that so far is not properly working. Note that this device needs an AC outlet but you can by an optional battery if you go to the manufacturer's web site.

Works well for what it is. There are 3 sound options. The bass is weak but this is the best sounding bass I have found after testing several blue tooth speakers of its' size. Sounds better when I hold it, so I'm going to look around for some type of feet for the corners to lift it up off of the counter.

I purchased the product without reading all the questions asked. It describes two items being sent - the last picture is of two speakers. If you read the entire Q&A it explains it's only one but of course you can buy a second one and pair it up. My bad for not reading everything.

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my brother. I was looking for an affordable, quality speaker that also had Bluetooth, and saw this listed as a top pick on CNET. Great sound with different options, easy to use Bluetooth from different rooms, and convenient in/out aux options, too. My only criticism is the style.

It works for what I wanted it for, like the rest of the reviews, i wish it had more bass. The sound does travel really well. It was easy to set up even without reading directions.it's great for our get togethers to play my Pandora play list etc for great background music.

But I got refurbished and still having issues just turning off randomly but its a AWESOME speaker other then that. The bass and treble are tweaked about perfect and it has several settings to find your sound but I highly recommend the new one.
