JBL E55BT QUINCY EDITION BLUETOOTH WIRELESS REVIEW

“The tonal balance is good, with a distinct emphasis on the bottom end, especially below 100 Hz, and a slight peak in the upper midrange giving it a bit of a bare studio sound. Wired operation offers pretty much the same sonic signature, with a tad more musical midrange and a larger soundstage in keeping with higher resolution sources. Overall, the E55BT Quincy offers much better than average performance for Bluetooth devices and can be scaled up with wired operation. A definite thumbs up”

“This connectivity trifecta shows us that deployment flexibility is just as important to some listeners as out-and-out best sound quality. If that weren’t the case, AudioQuest would have called it a day with the DragonFly Red and shoehorned every would-be buyer into USB connections. But they didn’t. And that means the Beetle has the potential to enrich more lives than its airborne forerunner; a democratic DAC deal for the real world.”

“Its dynamic capabilities were also frighteningly good. In all my time with them, I never detected any hint of compression of musical scaling, no matter how hard I pushed them on either my Von Schweikert VR-55 Aktives or the new Vivid Audio flagships. Their exceptional dynamic competence had also been clearly apparent when listening to them drive the ground-breaking YG Acoustics Sonja XVs last fall. The speed and resolution they exhibited when recreating leading transients on percussion (and strings, piano, and horns) were revelatory, and their ability to deliver physical punch, producing chest-crushing impact from drum whacks or bass string snaps, was exhilarating.”
