How does the sound quality and bass compare between normal and "vertical" mode? I would need to have this unit vertical due to space restrictions.

there is not really any difference, although if you do forget to set it on vertical mode it does have a very SLIGHT sound difference. but other than that nothing extreme

It is not ideal but the sound quality is acceptable. In fact, that is where I have placed my unit. The biggest challenge (in addition to sound quality) with a high placement is turning the unit on and off.

Hi, your question is a good one. I can not tell the difference speakers on their side or standing up when they are playing. I really think it is just what a person likes(prefers). I hope you will do what you like best. Take care, Ron

I dont think it matters. It depends on how powerful you wanted it to sound. I live in an apartment and the sub above is what I have and it rattles the whole complex and thats not in full blast. Its a good purchase on my end. It depends on your sound tolerance. Sometimes the bass is too loud it feels like youre having a heartattack! I kid you not!

It really doesn't matter, the unit looks good standing up or upside down, it just depends on what kind of cables you have. I have an AUX cable that is bent so it lays flat when it's plugged in, it looks good when the unit is upside down. When I have the usb plugged in, I lay it sideways, however it does sound better when standing upright (with the volume buttons on top, as the "woofers" are towards the bottom of the unit).

Hello Gregg. Sorry it took so long to respond. You will get a solid bass response from this headphone. I'm enjoying it!

Mine had excellent bass from the start...almost too much. It might be your source that is lacking bass.

Low bass is non-directional. You don't feed subwoofers a stereo-separated signal as you do the other speakers. One will do.

The port is on the bottom, and the pre-out SUB is where you would want to connect it. The feet on the sub hold it up plenty high for the bottom port to be functional.. In a small room, this is all the sub you need. our room is 16 x 18 with 2 open doors, still plenty of bass. it isnt the most refined sub, but properly adjusted it is not boomy either.

As a soundbar junkie I have owned them all and tried every mounting position that can be done,,,, my feelings are that soundbars almost always sound better mounted above a TV/display. 52" above floor level is not that high at all,,,,, I was experimenting with my Sony CT-100, Sony CT-500 and my Vizio Soundbar w/wireless sub and found one of the BEST spots for mounting was 7' from the floor, at 7' high the sound has nothing to block the reflective sound coming from the soundbar such as curtains, paintings on the wall and such. Each room is different though, but for me the higher I place my soundbars the better they sounded. Cheers Davyo

The bass is ok. You cannt adjust it, so it depends on the songs/music. The one I have is the size of a bookback...I am not sure about the other sizes. Hope this helps.

It is a quality issue. I only use mine for voice and it seems fine for that though the sound board folks had to do some work to dial it in correctly. The biggest difference to me is that I've never been able to get it to fit solidly and comfortably. The boom is much thinner and so wobbles a lot and the earpiece just doesn't bend into shape as easily. Still satisfied with the purchase given the price difference but you really do get what you pay for.

I mounted mine under the room ledge and they sound great. I mounted them vertically and the bass reflects off the overhang. Great outdoor speakers with really good sound. I have one each on the corners and 2 round ceiling speakers centered on the lanai. They work great together

Great question. No, it has not made much of a noticeable difference for me. I have mine in a corner behind our tv. You only see the Play 5. Guests jaws drop thinking that bass is coming from "that little box". Haha. There's good settings with the sub controls. I have mine at about 3/4 of max and it rattles the house. Crank up "Pause" by Pitbull and you'll know what I'm talking about.

I found my set to be very balanced in sound. In my old unit, the bass distorted at high volume. This unit appears to balance the bass with the other sounds. Could your unit be defective?

The bass is OK but you are definitely not getting the same lows as a subwoofer will provide. For me however this is preferable, as I don't think my neighbors would enjoy resonating bass. If you don't have that problem, I would recommend a subwoofer if you really want the full bass sound.
