Sound dramatically changes with every firmware update (updated)

(Product was bought on a soundcore website.) I was happy having X600, which I bought at a presale. During time of my ownership I got 2 firmware updates. The first one really improved soundstage and quality. And I was really happy with that. Couple of days ago my device received a second update to the firmware version 3.3.2. The sound I have now is really disappointing as some of the songs totally lost a bass even with bass boost option. Customer service refuses to make a firmware rollback and advises me to start a warranty return process which I don't want to do. Please don't update you firmware to 3.3.2 until you are sure you really want some songs to lose a bass. PS I used a standard "treble boost" equalizer preset with "bass boost" OFF and the sound was brilliant. For outside scenarios I turned ON "bass boost" which helped me to compensate differencies in environment. Now even with custom equalization and a "bass boost" ON there is a cut-off and lack of low bass which was good before. Customer service refers to "original" soundcore sound profile which customers love. And yes, I loved your sound profile before this update as I don't like bassy JBLs. All I want is to revert firmware back.
(Updated) Despite the fact that firmware update can change the sound of your favorite songs dramatically, I'd like to highlight the work of customer service which was very attentive and tried to find compromise.
So, I am giving 5* to customer service and 2* to overall project management (guys, it's not all about the money, you should work hard as well to make outstanding product)
Thus far, this speaker rocks! The immersive sound truly exists best in a small to medium size room but the clarity and volume are perfect in a more open environment with the directional sound option selected. Overall, would definitely buy again. Sound quality: 9/10 Surround: 8/10 Battery life: 10/10 Charge time: 7/10
The speaker sounds very clear very high infidelity. I’m very impressed. The bass is ok but the clarity of sound is amazing. Bass I grade C, mids I grade A , & the highs A+ soundcore 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I always loved anker and soundcore products I have earbuds cables etc I finally pulled the trigger on this speaker and I'm glad I did sound is amazing one feature no one will talk about is how amazing this is as a soundbar for your TV im considering buying a second to link them up and for 2 of these speakers at 300 on sale beats any sound bar I've heard you get the ldac and hi fidelity voices are clear and movies sound amazing I really wish they would make a soundbar but this will do *to use as a soundbar you have to connect via Bluetooth to your TV android box etc
Great sound. Best soundcore speaker EVER!!! Light weight, you can take it any where. Sound fills the room, good for out doors as well. Very highly recommended.
