balanced

It also has a very portable design

The LEDs
meanwhile
struck me as a bit silly
tonal balance too warm and the bass too loose
the app is very bare-bones and difficult to navigate
pump out as much bass or offer as wide of a soundstage
it also lent an unpleasant echo to the speaker
It lacks a lot of low-bass
No sound customization features
Sony XB01 is disappointing for music
it really struggles to reproduce low-bass
