My experience

I've grown accustomed to reviewing audio products from companies that most consumers have never heard of. Although Treblab fits that bill, I've found their products to be rarely disappointing. In fact, I'd say some of their devices are far better than those created by far more popular brands.

Such is the case with the HD 360 Pro.

The second I connected the speaker to my MacBook Pro, I cranked up my low-fi Christmas playlist and let the chill fill up the room.

Also: I swapped my high-end soundbar for a JBL, and it surprised me in the best way

Right out of the gate, the rich and dynamic bass was the first thing to strike my fancy. This chunky little speaker is very capable of producing some serious low end, without muddying up the waters. The bass is clean and clear.

To verify that assumption, I hopped over to a different playlist to push the limits of what this thing can do.

The first song I played was Meshuggah's “Ligature Marks.” This particular song really beats the low end to pieces. It's about as chunky and djenty as you can get, and the HD 360 was perfectly capable of handling the bombast of the downtuned guitar and punishing drums.

Next, I decided to play the song I tend to use as a low-end litmus test: “Analog Kid” by Rush. The reason I use this song is that Geddy Lee's bassline is a masterclass in movement and melody. The HD 360 handled the bass line to perfection, but it did tend to get a bit much in the mids, which caused the highs to get a bit muted.

There are three different EQ modes: Balanced, 3D, and Bass. These different modes made a difference in what I was listening to. Here's my take on the modes:

Balanced – produces an equal mix of lows, mids, and highs. This mode is suitable for pop, singer-songwriter, classical, podcasts, musicals, 80s, and country genres.
3D – This boosts the highs and mids, and attenuates the lows, making it suitable for jazz, classical, TV, and spoken word.
Bass – dramatically increases the bass, making it suitable for rock, metal, prog, funk, R&B, and rap.

For example, the Charlie Brown Christmas album sounded far better with the 3D mode, whereas Sia's Snowman was far better in Bass mode.

The point is, you'll want to play with each mode to see which one you prefer with each genre. Given the modes are quite different, you'll find yourself switching back and forth. Speaking of which, to switch modes, hold the play button on the top touchscreen for 3 seconds to switch.

I'd say that 80% of the music I listened to was through the Bass mode, but by switching between EQ modes, every song I played through the HD 360 Pro came off in glorious auditory fashion.

As for volume, I had my MacBook Pro set to roughly 45% volume, and it filled my apartment to the point where I could clearly hear everything in every room. I briefly cranked it up to 100% and it was far too loud for the space (and threatened the relationships with my neighbors).

My final test was Mozart's Requiem. In Bass EQ mode, it was a bit muddy, but once I switched it to 3D mode, it came alive.

The only negative I can think of for the HD 360 is that it would be nice if there were an app that allowed for EQ customization. I'd like to tone down the mids a bit in 3D mode and give the highs a bit more punch, but that's really nitpicking. For most consumers, the three different modes will be more than enough.

ZDNET buying advice

I really enjoyed my time with the Treblab HD 360 Pro. If you've been on the hunt for a Bluetooth speaker that can fill a room and allow you to choose an EQ mode for nearly every genre you enjoy, the Treblab HD 360 Pro is a great option, available at an affordable price.

No, the HD 360 Pro won't blow the minds of audiophiles, but for casual listeners, it delivers.

Buy it for yourself or as a gift for a friend or loved one. You won't regret it.
