The TaoTronics TT-SK023’s stereo frequency response is bad. The mid-range is well-balanced, but since both bass and treble are rather severely lacking, this bar sounds dull and boxy. It lacks not only thump and rumble, but detail and clarity as well. This makes it a poor choice for most content, whether movies, music, or TV shows. It could work for podcasts but, even then, it’s not ideal.
