Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was a gift idea I bought and decided to keep for myself. I went with a different gift for the recipient. This has great sound and is super portable. I have not got another speaker yet to try the dual speaker system, but so far with this one by itself it has been plenty.

great sound for it's size easy to use last long time on a charge

I went to bestbuy to buy a bose color 2. But I listened to the Sony and the bose wasn't even close.i gladly paid a little more for the Sony.the sound is expansive and just the right amount of base.and if near wifi I can load up Sony app and play music through wifi instead of Bluetooth.

I have been satisfied with my purchase of the Sony - HG1 Hi-Res Portable Wireless Speaker. You do have to add a SongPal app it seems in order to sync the speaker with your tablet or phone. The extra base function really helps improve the quality of sound. You can also group it with another Sony speaker that has the same ability to pair with the HGI Hi-Res speaker via the SongPal app. This is a nice function if you really want to fill the room with a wider stereo sound or have music play in more than one room. There's a lot of options when it comes to portable wireless speakers and I recommend checking them out in store before purchasing. The Sony HGI Hi-Res speaker is well built, looks nice, and sounds great.

I took my time shopping for a new blue tooth speaker and I am so glad I did. You would not expect a Sony speaker to be on the level with Bose, JBL, etc. but amazingly this speaker tops all of the models that I listened to. I even went to 2 different Best Buy stores for a sanity check and sure enough the Sony wins by a mile!

Originally purchased this product mainly for the color, but the quality also exceeded my expectations. Bass is pretty good and sound quality is nice and crisp. The official color says "yellow", but it's more of a neon lime green, which is exactly what I wanted.

Big bass, very portable, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity were a plus plus it was controllable with the SongPal app. Bluetooth pairing was not intuitive so I needed to go online to learn how.

Bought this and it works great. The sound is clear and no distortion

Paired with the Sony NT5 sound bar, this is the ultimate theater set up, for a fraction of the price of Sonos. What's better is I can move this speaker and use it anywhere I want for music listening. Highly recommended!

This baby is a gem. I was really hesitant on purchasing this speaker based on the negative reviews but I'm glad I bought it anyway. I love the sound that the speaker puts out (it's pretty loud and bass is also). I love the fact of being able to control the speaker with the SongPal app. I don't connect it to other speakers (yet) to have that surround sound effect so I don't use it via WiFi. I was torn between this and the Google speaker but the fact that Google doesn't support bluetooth helped make my mind up. The only "complaint" I have is the battery drains faster than I like and it doesn't charge well if you're using it. At 10% the volume automatically decreases so I have to always turn the speaker off to get a full charge quickly.

This speaker packs a BIG punch in a small package. It's a LOT louder than other speakers in its class but the EXTRA bass is where you get your money's worth.

I love this speaker. I was in the market for a decent wireless bluetooth speaker, and I usually go with Sony products. I bought this on sale (about $30 off regular price) only because the box boasted Hi-Res Audio and Extra Bass. The sound quality coming out of this speaker is excellent. I could not ask for anything better. I am currently considering purchasing another to pair the two. The only faults of this speaker are the price and supported apps. Very confusing out of the box, but I guess the Song Pal app makes it easier to pair to it than just doing it without. BUY on sale.

I used this speaker for my Family Reunion Banquet. The sound was loud enough that the music could be heard throughout the entire room. Great speaker for the price.

Great sound for the size/price. Chromecast built works great and was the main reason for purchase. Nice alternative to more expensive systems like Sonos. May purchase another to create stereo setup.

was looking for a new portable speaker and this was recommended by the store's sales associate. The sound is very good but I have experienced issues with charging the speaker and would prefer if there was a designated on/off switch witch it does not have.

Great speaker for the price and very easy to set-up.

This is a great little speaker. Bought this on a whim. Great use of the song pal app. Really like that I can pair it with my sound bar. The speaker feels great when you pick it up, solidly built.

Great sound and easy to use. I felt this unit had better sound quality than a similar unit from Bose for a lot less money.

Very good audio quality. Functions very well with Chromecast and Bluetooth. Was able create multi-room group with this and Chromecast audio dongle connected to receiver.

I'd listened to *a lot* of Bluetooth speakers during my research before buying this speaker. In the price range, the hear.go sounded much better than almost any other unit. It doesn't sound like a tin can, as most of these boxes do. The only thing it's missing is better water resistance, but for me that was an OK option to give up. It has features other boxes don't [wi-fi chromecast, for example]. It's really probably the best option in this price range. I'd recommend it to anybody.
