Internally, there\u2019s a 60-watt Class D (45-W woofer + 15-W tweeter) amplifier with a frequency response of 40 Hz to 20 kHz. Morel uses a customized DSP with dynamic EQ, but there\u2019s no smartphone app, no Wi-Fi streaming, no room calibration, no Dolby Atmos, no voice control, no EQ tweaking. And day-to-day I didn\u2019t miss any of it.<\/p>\n

The controls will feel a bit antiquated to app-control lovers, with plenty of press-and-hold options to access TWS and change sources. But silly battery level indicator control aside (you have to press and hold both volume buttons to light up a percentage of said buttons to show you the remaining juice), they\u2019re easy to ignore.<\/p>\n

Sound Quality<\/h2>\n

Setup was as simple as you\u2019d expect from a Bluetooth speaker without smarts, and remained rock solid throughout many hours of testing. As a consumer tech journalist I know I should be aghast at the lack of bells and whistles here, but the combination of solid audio performance and a complete lack of technological friction was a joy. Insert your own Sonos<\/a> joke here.<\/p>\n

The Biggie is not going to unearth sonic subtleties from your favorite Blue Note recordings, but it won\u2019t offend you either. It\u2019s an impressively punchy sounding mono speaker with real presence and volume. Given that it weighs just 5.7 pounds and measures a mere H7 x W7 x D4.5 inches, its room-filling abilities are seriously impressive.<\/p>\n

Listening to \u201cThe Look\u201d by Metronomy, there\u2019s an appealing crispness to the high end, with a well-organized middle that thrives on the track\u2019s enthusiasm. Bass is controlled here, too, but the speaker does favor lower frequencies. Kick drums and bass guitars can sound a little too forward in the mix, but it is controlled\u2014helped, no doubt, by the quality cabinetry and drivers.<\/p>\n
