Just recieved mine a couple days ago and the bass is honestly insane and doesn't compare to any speaker JBL has on there line up. Anytime I take it outside and blast it at full volume, I get complaints from my neighbors in less than 5 minutes. The only issue I really have the speaker is how glitchy the "DJ pad" can be sometimes. In my opinion, the "DJ pad" is a bit of a gimmick for the speaker and so is the "smart DJ" because to be honest, the "smart DJ" is quite dumb and creates terrible beats.
