What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are contradictory or inconsistent: the title and feature text claim 110W RMS, while the specification table says 85 Watts maximum, the table gives a 40 KHz frequency response, while feature text specifies 46 Hz–40 kHz. Bluetooth is listed generically in the technical details but feature text claims Bluetooth 6.0 with LDAC. Confirm the selected listing's power, response and Bluetooth details, these discrepancies do not establish a product defect.
