Great little computer speaker
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Using as a PC speaker for a monitor that has no headphone jack, and very happy with it so far! Good audio, clear controls (although a little trouble connecting early on) and no dropped connections over the past few months.

Do Not Pass “Buy” for This Deal
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I reviewed this already. It’s wonderful. Buy it. It won’t fit into your normal-sized pocket, but it will loop onto your belt bag or knapsack, and you can walk around or jog to music from the best little speaker ever. Use it for streaming audio from movies. You will love this speaker.

It’s A Good Speaker for a Small Area.

If it isn’t charged it isn’t as loud as it was advertised in the store. I actually wish i haven’t used it so I can change it for another one.

Sound to low
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was expecting more from Sony. Not a very loud speaker.

Posted .Hi DonLuis,
Thank you for the review and we do apologize if you're not satisfied with the sound of the speaker. The sound quality will depend in the source that you're playing. Also, the sound becomes low while in use in the following cases. This is not a malfunction.
1. When the built-in battery is running low and the CHARGE indicator flashes slowly, while the speaker is being powered by the built-in battery only.
2. When the rechargeable built-in battery is running low as a result of long-time use of the speaker at a loud volume even though the speaker was connected to an AC outlet by a USB AC adaptor (commercially available) or to a computer that comes equipped with a USB charging port.
If the sound becomes low while in use, follow the procedure below.
- Turn off the speaker.
- Charge the built-in battery sufficiently.

Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to get Bluetooth speakers for my spouse who tends to use her iPhone’s speaker to play her videos. These work very well. For those who need louder sound, more expensive speakers may be a better choice; if you don’t, you should consider these. You may be pleasantly surprised.

Not loud enough for outdoor use . Go JBLF
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For 50 to 60 bucks range just get a JBL clip. The Sony is slightly more expensive and not nearly as loud. I’d say the bass response along with mids to highs is cleaner, but you only notice this close up. I listen to my water resistant / proof compact Bluetooth speaks on the river / in the shower / while on a bike and on a snowboard. Go JBL for your needs. You get what you pay for. The synch up to a 2nd speaker is cool to provide stereo at a slightly higher volume. I’m reviewing, simply not a loud enough outdoor speak for the cost. Go JBL
