The company spikes out the TreSound1’s Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity, with Qualcomm CSR aptX and support for 24bit/96kHz high-fidelity audio. Other surround style speakers in this price range – like the Sony SRS-RA5000 I reviewed in 2021 – address the issue with an integrated microphone that calibrates the sound based on the environment, compensating for issues like nearby walls that will reflect sound. There is a considerable difference in sound quality between placing the TreSound1 in a corner or near a wall versus having it sit in the open. In addition, there is no way to customize that 360-degree audio based on the speaker’s location. ![]() There is also no way to tailor the audio other than whatever built-in EQ your smartphone offers. Generally speaking I noticed a trend throughout the different genres of music I played of bass that could get out of control, highs that were often a little too bright, and midrange that was too often underwhelming.Ĭheck out the piano gloss lacquer finish on the wooden cabinet. For example, Stone Temple Pilots’ “Vasoline” and Duran Duran’s “Hungry Like the Wolf” both sounded fine up until about 50% volume, but at anything over that the bass would quickly and progressively become thrashier and more distorted. “Always” and “Texarkana” sounded great at high volume.

I was happy to crank these up, and with 60W on tap, the TreSound can fill a good-sized room with music. ![]() Thanks to the subwoofer, Mike Mills’ bass drove R.E.M.’s “Texarkana” while still allowing the vocals to shine. The TreSound1 did a bang up job with Erasure’s “Always” – the thundering bass and bright highs delivered clear, energetic sound with impressive low end punch. With some songs, the combination is almost perfect. ![]()
