It features a high-excursion 6-inch woofer and three 2.25-inch high-frequency drivers. Thanks to **ToneMatch technology**, you can optimize the EQ for vocals or instruments with a single touch. The intelligent sensors constantly monitors the sound signature to match your placement, providing Bose S1 Pro+ review balanced audio everywhere you play.
