Not good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for an external laptop speaker. It was worse than the speakers in the laptop.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Sound quality
Unbelievable Sound!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I compared this to all of the display units in two separate Best Buy stores just for a sanity check. There is no question for the money it sounds better than the other major speaker makers by far. You wouldn't necessarily think this about Sony speakers (I can vouch for that) but I am telling you this speaker is perfect if you are looking for something portable that you can listen to LOUD or soft and still sound very very good. It's got a little weight to it, but that just makes it feel solidly made. Sony takes a lot of moonshots and this is one that I think is very worthy.

AMAZING!!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the best speaker I have ever owned. The sound is so clear and the highs and lows are amazing. I was lenient on buying a Sony product after so many bad Sony products in mid 2000, but I'm glad I took a chance. I will now be buying more Sony audio products as well as a new TV as I'm replacing my home theater.

Pretty good speaker with good options
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The speaker itself is pretty good, lots of options. You can use Bluetooth, google cast, USB, and aux to play music. The battery life is pretty good too, and the build overall is great. My only issue with it is the sound. It has an EXTRA BASS mode yet my Bose Sound Link 2 has better sound quality and better bass. This model has more bells and whistles but is beat out by my other speaker in terms of sound quality. If I crank up the volume on this and the Bose Sound Link, the Bose wins in my opinion. While the h.ear go gets loud, it does not fill the room with sound as well as the Bose. If you want the extra bells and whistles I would say that this is a pretty good option. I on the other hand like the room filling sound of the other speaker, so I may switch to another one of those.

Not A good Sony product
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was duped visiting the store by a Sony rep, who convinced me its the best sound for the price. Gullibly, and without doing due diligence, I bought it to use with my Alexa. The speaker does not stay powered on; even if plugged in to a power source. So, any time you want to use it after period of dormancy, you have to physically push the power button. Second issue: bought a Peleton bike, so figure I'll use this speaker for that instead; I got a Bose to use with Alexa. The Sony drops it's Bluetooth connection constantly; very irritating. I went to support; did factory reset, nothing. My bad; again; passing the return deadline; so I'm stuck with this lemon. In the time being, I bought a Bose Soundlink 2; works like a charm. My Harmon Kardon also works beautifully. I love Sony products; but NOT THIS ONE.

Posted .Hi, Geo1, The issue could be resolved by updating the software of the speaker. Updating the unit to the latest software allows you to access the newest features and fixes specific problems: https://esupport.sony.com/US/p/model-home.pl?mdl=SRSHG1&template_id=1®ion_id=1&tab=download#/downloadTab.

I would recommend this to a friendNot for Home Theater Surround Sound
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought these to complete a surround system with with the Sony sound bar for my new television. The speakers kept shutting off which was bad enough but each time they shut off they also had to be re-paired with the soundbar. Tried following the technical advice of the Sony rep at the store but everything recommended did not work, so back to the store they went. Anybody have any suggestions for a replacement?

Connectivity
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for the wi-fi feature, hoping to connect it to my Airplay network. Looks like it doesn't have an airplay option, only songpal, which is a little bit iffy. Would love to get it to work as an airplay device. Anyone know how?
I would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Bluetooth
Awful Bluetooth
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The device will not connect using Bluetooth. I have tried two Galaxy S5's, an iPhone 6, and my laptop. Followed the instructions online since the included instructions are worthless. At best the device only shows up for a couple seconds to pair and always fails, but it takes several tries to get it to show up as a option. Tried using NFC to pair and it fails every time as well. Worked over WiFi without problems, but the Bluetooth seems dead. Will be returning.
