    I liked these speakers so much I got 2 more when I found them on Special!. Sounds is good, Battery life is good too, and its loud enough for my needs, I use it while at work so I'm not looking for Concert Hall Quality so your mileage may vary

    Couldn't be any happier with this purchase. Have plenty of other Sony speakers and will keep buying new models as they are released. Love being able to pair and have stereo sound. Size perfect for bedside to bluetooth TV to at night and not have to listen to main TV speakers.

    This speaker packs a lot of power for a speaker this size. Sound is clear and bass is clean. No distortion even at higher volumes. Easy to pair with my devices and powers on easily. Battery life is good and it charges quickly. The only downside is the price but you are paying basically for the Sony name.

    Great build quality and solid feel. Set up is easy, although overall volume is not the best. If there is an issue, it the bluetooth connection from an older ipod or ipad, reconnect is not automatic. Must re-link again. Otherwise, great value.

    The taupe is my second speaker of this same model; I got the black before. It's just as good the last--I simply wanted to have a couple on deck. I also thought it would be nice to link them, because I read you could do that. I haven't yet, but I'm glad the capability is there.

    Crisp clear sounds with a small size! The bass is pretty good for the size honestly. This was perfect for hiking with my friend but it’s not the loudest speaker. If around other people and lots of talking going on-talking will drown out the sound. Did great on the water too. Hope this helps!

    I live out of hotels 50% of the time for work. I wanted a small Bluetooth speaker that sounded good yet fit in my backpack. This works well. It sounds decent and is loud enough to fill a hotel room. It doesn't sound like a high end stereo but works good enough for my needs. I'd recommend it for travelers.

    This little speaker performed to my expectations. The sound was more defined when used in the home. It was also used beach side while at the resort in Mexico. It was light weight and small so this made it very easy to pack.

    It's far more orange than pink. USB-C charging, surprise, but I've gotten more 'C' lately... The audio sounds a little flat, but the size is perfect. I've been using it while working in the yard, and in the garage. It puts out so much bass, it will start jumping around a bit, and rocking to the beat. It sounds like it's got slightly too much mid-range, which is odd, but I have gotten used to it. It's a small speaker. It's not going to be a powerhouse answer to all your needs, but it is water resistant, and the strap is a great idea, and the main reason I bought it. For the price, it's a great little speaker. Smallest one I own currently, and it's getting used quite a lot. I may buy another one to get the stereo effect. I've paid far more for worse speakers. This one works great!

    The perfect "personal speaker" when you don't want to disturb the people around you. Excellent sound quality, pairs quickly with your phone, tablet, laptop. I use it at the the pool or the beach with my wife. I hang the speaker from our umbrella. I can't reccomend it enough. I would give it 10 stars.
