Review: Soundfreaq SFQ-01 Sound Platform

The SoundFreaq iPod dock has good sound at a great price, all wrapped in a handsome black box.

Great design and thoughtful extras make this box stand out from the pack. Connectivity o’plenty, including Bluetooth streaming, FM radio and a 3.5mm Aux input. Pairing the Freaq is quick and painless. Great range: Walk 25 feet away without losing a...

Do not crank it to 11. Distortion becomes noticeable at higher volumes. Dim, non-adjustable display on front. Emits an annoying buzz in both standard and UQ3 modes when not playing music. Sound quality drops when streaming over Bluetooth. Alright,...

Soundfreaq Sound Platform (SFQ-01)

The Soundfreaq wireless iPod speaker set looks great, sounds good, and packs a load of extra features, but its audio quality won't stand up to audiophile scrutiny.

Clear, powerful audio. Lots of input options. Attractive retro design. Free companion iOS app.

Some distortion at high volumes. Audible hiss when nothing is playing.

First Looks: Soundfreaq SFQ-01 Sound Platform

New kids on the block Soundfreaq has just released their SFQ-01 Sound Platform. Designed for use with iPod and iPhone devices, this docking system also has Bluetooth wireless connectivity.

The major stumbling block, however, is its price. At S$379, we expected a better sounding docking system. As it is, the SFQ-01 Sound Platform seems to handle easier listening materials better and fails to shine when we played faster, more aggressive...

Sound Freaq SFQ01 review

Can Sound Freaq make a name for itself in the iPod dock market?

Complete and detailed sound ; Bluetooth connectivity

Doesn't shape sound well ; Not a great looker

George

The setup is easy. However the quality of the sound is not that impressive. There is too much bass. And the bluetooth communication is easily disturbed. Return it after a try. And be careful about the seller, it is a marketplace seller rather than...

great sound

I ordered this through the mail so i was worried that the sound would not be to my expectation but i was really pleased. I also own a Logitech and a pioneer blue tooth dock and have an adjacent Sony 5.1 stereo that has an ipod dock. This unit sounds...
