Sound quality: The JBL Pulse 4 has Good overall sound quality. Bass has good impact, but is slightly boomy, and deep bass is lacking. Midrange is fairly even but is somewhat hazy and grainy. Treble is somewhat smeared and slightly subdued, upper treble is muted. Does a so-so job of recovering room ambience and sounds congested. When two units are used as a stereo pair the bass gets slightly prominent and the sound gets more hazy and congested, it can get louder but since two separate speakers are used the sound stage can be made wider depending on placement and room ambience improves to decent overall but the overall sound quality remains in the same. A single unit provides a decent volume level in a small to medium sized room.
