Sound Quality
The FM Radio was able to pick up radio stations really easily and sounded good too. Switching modes is simply. Just press the M for Mode. Pairing via bluetooth was a breeze too. The SE20 allows you to control the volume, tracks and play / pause of the connected device which is really handy.
