- Pros mentioned:Size
Practical because of small size, but lacks bass
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Compared to the Beats pill, the Sony is smaller (easier to pack in luggage), and therefore able to hang from a beach umbrella, but it lacks the base sound from the Beats pill.

Decent but not great

Do not buy.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would give it 0 stars if I could. I purchased the speaker after using its 2019 edition for 3 years. The speaker is bigger than previous versions and boasts a “larger bass”. The speaker max volume is significantly weaker than previous versions of the speaker. Extremely disappointing. Will be returning.

Sony Bluetooth Speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m a big fan of Sony products so I had no concerns when I made this purchase. Truth be told, I am really disappointed about the lack of volume. Even at the highest setting, the volume is simply too low. If you do purchase, be sure to hold on to your receipt & the packaging until you are sure the volume is acceptable. I didn’t save the packaging so I can’t return mine. This wasn’t cheap so it’s disappointing - there are better options for half the price.

Posted .Hi SAnders,
We do apologize for the inconvenience. The volume & sound quality of the speaker will depend on the source that you're playing. You may also find different devices will perform better than others, as will different apps due to different audio compression and transmission types. Also, make suret he sound may also become low in the following cases. This is not a malfunction. -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. -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. Make sure to charge the built-in battery sufficiently
