Shouldnt be compared to the sound quality of products 10 or more times the price of course and as such i would only recommend for general use audiophiles would not be impressed but then again this is not priced or aimed towards discerning users of that type

Sound quality is the strongest feature here as it is very good for what is a relatively cheap portable product and if this is the price point your limited to i would highly recommend but do not expect too much from them there are plenty of better products out there if your willing to spend a bit more money
