By setting the X5 delivers a surprisingly good sound. Of course, the transparency suffers upon activation of Spacializers. Who is from a device of this size expected anno 2014 more unrealistic.
I am very pleased with the overall package. In particular, that one can make sound adjustments on the playback device, deserves a huge plus.
The SoundLink Bose speakers playing the x5 my opinion loosely on the wall.
