Bought two of these on sale for the price of one Charge 6. Speech quality and instrument crispness is better on the Charge 6, but I returned it as these Boom 2's fill my warehouse with plenty of thump that I didn't know I was missing with my two Charge 5's. One of them vibrated its self off of the place where I kept one of the Charge 5's (about 1.5 meters off of the ground). It's a little scuffed but still works, just had to relocate it. An important point to make is the party connection for the two units worked fine with a distance of I'd guess around 50 to 60 ft (15m to 18m). Stereo mode works fine and works well when needed but for my use they stay in party mode. When people are speaking it is a little muffled but I set my Equalizer up in a V with high bass and high treble. You can easily fix that with the 9 band equalizer on the user friendly Soundcore app or just turn off the Bass Boost. The light show is nice, when the lights are out...but that doesn't happen in my work environment so I turn the lights off for longer battery life. One of my Charge 5's were stolen and I needed surround sound, these were a great replacement for the price!
