Sound quality: Fender's RIFF had acceptable overall sound quality - this model reproduces music and dialog reasonably well despite the obvious shortcomings in its sound. The bass has good impact and goes fairly deep but is a bit subdued and boomy. Midrange is fairly even but is somewhat hazy, congested and a bit grainy, plasticky and nasal. Treble is fairly extended but is a bit smeared and a touch sizzly. Does a so-so job of recovering room ambience and sounds somewhat congested. Individual instruments and voices are identifiable but have a two dimensional quality. Volume:
Provides a decent volume level in a medium sized room.
