This is a pretty decent speaker for its size and price. Initially I was disappointed when I first hooked it up and played through my phone. The bass was muddy and overpowering. But then I hooked it up to my Pioneer Djm 750 mixer and it came to life. Good highs and clarity, but since it doesn't have tone control, the bass overpowers. When the bass Is reduced on the mixer, this baby comes to life and the volume can be pushed up to a decent level before clipping.
