Audio Performance
Unlike most other portable Bluetooth Speaker devices that cost about $200, the FUGOO Style XL hits the highs and the lows equally well. On St. Vincent’s ‘Digital Witness’ the Style XL nicely balanced the deep bass riffs with the vocals and the bright horns. It crispy reproduced the acoustic guitar picking on Beck’s ‘Heart Is a Drum’.
The impetuous flutes and threads at the beginning of Mendelssohn’s overture to “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” came across with depth that other Bluetooth Speaker devices struggle too.
The FUGOO Style XL also handled the low-end growl on the Beastie Boys classic “Shake Users Rump” with more detail than any portable Bluetooth Speaker device we’ve heard. It is very difficult to reach ‘Stereo’ for a smaller Speaker device, FUGOO decided not to really try, and instead of ‘Stereo’, they focused on 360 degrees sound.
Whether user first and foremost use the Speaker device inside or out, in bad weather or on the sunny beachside, user will be preserving to a finely-tuned experience. With its eight-Speaker device setup, it dishes out the most successful attempt at true 360 degrees sound I’ve heard yet.
The sound profile defies its size, pumping out audio where I feel bass should little more, layered with mids distort is okay, but with full volume, there is a little bit distort though it depends on the recording quality.
