Review on Herdio Waterproof Outdoor Bluetooth Speakers - 4 Inches, White - Ideal for Patio, Deck, or Wall Mounting by Ashley Scott

The overall quality of this small bluetooth system is very good for the price. However, there is one big problem if you are a music lover like me. And I'm sure the seller probably didn't even notice. I don't make music for the atmosphere. This system is great for people who just need a background atmosphere for their needs. But the true music lover will immediately realize that this system is NOT true two-channel stereo. This is a mono system that reproduces the left channel only through the left and right channels. There will be no backing vocals. Some guitar solos will be missing. I tested this with music from the 1960s, 1970s, and modern music played on the iPad Air II and iPhone 6S using a variety of players, including built-in players with an equalizer tuned for different environments, as well as You Tube, Spotify, and Netflix. This is NOT TRUE stereo. So I give this system 3 stars for overall performance and value. In the 21st century there is simply no excuse for using mono channel technology. Unless you make that product in a prehistoric third world country where consumers have likely never heard true multi-channel stereo and will never know the difference.
