Unquestionably deserving of the cost! It was on sale for 16,000 dollars. The benefits of it include: The speaker has a stunning sound quality, and despite just being turned up to its maximum level for the purpose of this evaluation, it is surprisingly loud for a studio apartment. It is helpful that there is software that comes equipped with an equalization because this feature is required for a variety of musical styles. Beautiful design. I only listen via aux, however when connected via Bluetooth, everything plays well without any breaks. I don't like that when it's switched on, it connects straight to the phone. Even if the aux mode is on, you still have to disconnect the phone from the speaker every time. If you don't, all of the sound will flow to the speaker, but because the aux mode is on, it won't be there. This is one of the device's drawbacks.
