A:AnswerI don't know how it would sound in a noisy factory. However my wife uses this speaker to accompany a classroom full of children singing, and the speaker can still be easily heard.
A:AnswerYes, I bought it and connected it to mine. It pairs very easy. However I didn't like the sound and use the Echo Dot's default speaker more than this item.
A:AnswerOnly connect when charging, then plug in when
Need recharge. Not sure if it will stop charging
when battery 100%. Indicated changes color
When full charge
A:AnswerINPUT AND OUTPUT TERMINALS
Stereo mini-jack input
It will use same input jack as your smart phone
or will work with Bluetooth. Might consider a
Sound bar, I have a Vizio sound bar that can be
used with cable from TV.
A:AnswerPerfect solution
My mother in law keeps her tv on all night with this speaker by her headboard
This solved the noise problem for the rest of the house
When paired with Samsung 7000 series TV it is an unbelievable combination
A:AnswerI wouldn't call it apples to apples because Bose is much more renowned than Sony when it comes to speakers. Having said that if you are looking for a quality speaker at a decent price this one will not disappoint.
