Let's move to the main agenda here. Shall we?
AUDIO QUALITY
I will divide in the simplest way of explaining the quality of bass, clarity and balance audio.
[attachmentid=9926192]
Reminder: “If you wish for a good audio quality, you should tweak your equalizer settings of your respective soundboard manufacturer“.
Bass
For a pair of USB powered speaker, the bass quality of this speaker is decent. Mind you that, the bass reflex port given at the front of the speaker is not fake. The driver does pump a decent amount of bass and I can feel the air coming out of the bass reflex port.
Clarity
The vocal clarity of this speaker, well...simply the best for USB powered speaker. Not too muddy, although all the bass and vocal has to be done in the same speaker driver.
Balance
As for this category, the speaker did a good job even when used with onboard sound card. I mean, the audio quality of both bass and vocal when played at the same time, simply superb, although, I must opt, the best so far.
ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES
Advantages:
1. Cheap
2. Portable
3. Premium material used (Both for speaker casing and the driver - Feels solid man!)
4. Having a single 3.5mm female port at the front of the speaker - Suitable for headphone users.
Disadvantages:
1. Only 3 color options were given
2. Bass went slightly muddy as the volume were turned up.
FINAL VERDICT
To fully enjoy the audio from this speaker, the volume should be turned on atleast, 1/2 of the full volume, then only, you can enjoy the balance audio. This speaker suitable for students (university) and for office users.

If you're a gamer by any chance, this speaker is not for you. However, this speaker made for people whose don't care about bass, but a decent speaker that can give them a perfect moment hearing their favorite musics.
Thank You.
