Too little bass or too much treble from product | Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker
Adjust bass and treble controls on the source.
Sound quality may suffer if bass and treble controls are set to extreme levels. Try adjusting the controls to mid-range levels; this may improve sound quality. Be sure to turn off both audio enhancements and special equalizer settings found on the source
Try a different app.
If the issue only occurs with a particular app, it is likely related to the app or app settings.
Determine if the room size is too large or the distance from the system is too far.
The volume from the system will seem lower in larger rooms than in smaller rooms. The level of sound will decrease when heard from greater distances. Try to place your system within 20 feet (6 meters) of the listening area.
There are no adjustable tone controls on your Bose product.
Equalization, like bass or treble, is not adjustable on your product. You can try adjusting equalization on the connected device, if available. Try adjusting in small increments and check if the audio sounds better or worse to you. (Note: Greater adjustments can also impact volume level, which could create distorting or crackling audio.)
Reset your product.
Much like rebooting a smartphone, your product might need to be reset on occasion to correct minor issues. For more information, see Resetting your product.
Relocate the system to increase bass.
Sound characteristics change depending on location and environment of the sound source. Moving the system closer to a wall or corner, or placing it on or near hard surfaces, increases bass response.
