The Local Media Player plays music and video from a TF card (up to 256 GB) or a USB drive (up to 1 TB). Ikarao says lyrics show if an LRC lyrics file with the same name as the music file is in the same folder.

The Shell S2 has two 2.7" full-range drivers. Ikarao lists 140 W peak power, a frequency response of 55 Hz to 18 kHz and a sound pressure level of 102 dB. It says the sound is clear, with noise reduction and echo cancellation.
A Bass Boost button sits on the front panel. The Music Mode menu has HiFi, Light, Outdoor and Bass sound effects.
