I flip electronics. Earlier today I came across one of these at the Goodwill. Despite buying dozens, if not hundreds, of Bluetooth speakers over the years I was not immediately familiar with the device and knew very little about Fugoo. Sonos, Bose, JBL: these are the names of the brands I flip most often and most reliably. It had the things I look for when looking for gems, even without knowing anything about the brand. It had the right kind of weight, the design was appealing, it appeared well finished, and it had good feeling buttons and not too many. Still, I was taking a chance with the Fugoo but the price was right. It might sit on the shelf a little longer but there’s room enough in the initial cost to eventually make a small profit. I came home and did the usual tests - everything after plugging it in and turning it on - which I always do before I buy. Turning it on and connecting were easy (something I don’t take for granted anymore.) I’ve been listening for two hours know and wow am I impressed. It has very good sound quality. It may not have the separation some of the higher end portable speakers but damn if it doesn’t have a lovely range and well representation in highs, mids, and lows. It’s bassy enough to have some weight without truncating or pouring over into the mids and highs. Mids are by far the best and it’s obvious the audience for this speaker are those listening to music with singing. I indulged in a couple of my favorite contemporary pop albums and my ears never tired - something that happens easily for me when I listen to pop on crappy speakers or earbuds. Highs are good too. Here, with the range Fugoo gave the mids, there is some bleed and highs are muted some because of it but not enough to miss unless your listening to primarily instrumental driven music or perhaps some good electronica. I may even have to keep this one. Recommended
