Con Limited ranges
Rock as well as music with a lot of bass falls a bit flat on the device as the speaker is not able to handle them well which means it compensates by lowering the volume and clipping certain frequencies.
Con Poor musical range
Like most devices with small speakers the range is not that great for bass heavy music. The device is best used for acoustic music, but is serviceable for others.
