Hi-Fi, or high fidelity, refers to the pursuit of the best possible audio playback quality, aiming to faithfully reproduce music as the artist intended. For a setup to be considered Hi-Fi, it depends on both the quality of the audio source (like high-bitrate files or lossless streaming) and the reproduction equipment (the speakers and amplifier) that can deliver low noise and low distortion. It's a term that has evolved and is now more accessible through compatible codecs like aptX HD.

Key features can include Omnidirectional Party Sound with front and rear tweeters, JET BASS BOOSTER for stronger bass, built-in microphone holders and echo for karaoke, and even interactive elements like top-panel samplers for bongos or taiko drums. Some models also include dynamic Omnidirectional Party Lights.
