Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you're looking for a good Bluetooth speaker for your desktop or the occasional trip to the beach/park, this does the job well. But don't expect home theater or car stereo quality from this device, and don't expect it to bring life to your parties. As a speaker, it gets the job done. Pairing with smartphones and tablets is super simple -- a lot easier than some of the other Bluetooth devices I've used. For Apple products, it seems this speaker was built specifically with the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch in mind. For Android products, it takes a few seconds to pair, but that might be more an Android issue than a speaker issue (hard to tell since I only own one Android product). Music and spoken word sound quality is pretty good. Usually where music excels spoken word doesn't and vice versa, but this speaker handles both well. Surprisingly, it sounds BETTER at higher volumes than it does at lower volumes, at least to my ears. But even at lower volumes, the sound quality is acceptable (if you're going to listen to this speaker at lower volumes, I'd recommend using an auxiliary cable between the speaker and your device since Bluetooth is less for sound quality and more for convenience). Sony has released two updated version of this speaker, both of which are available at Best Buy. In my in-store testing, I found the sound quality of both updated speakers to be on par with this speaker. Perhaps the only difference between the two is the type of Bluetooth radio used in each speaker (this one uses an older standard, Bluetooth 2.0, whereas the newest version uses Bluetooth 4.1, which handles streaming audio a bit better). For the average user, this technical specification won't matter, and at around $60 this Bluetooth speaker is a steal, especially for a Sony product.

Great for indoor use (room to room) but not as good for outdoors. The sound gets lost within 20feet or soo.

Still have not decided if I will keep it. Will check out other products.

Decent sound. The price doesn't reflect the quality (too expensive).

I was attracted by the sale price of these speakers. But the sound quality was just not there. You can find better choices for a few dollars more. I returned these speakers.

I purchased this speaker on sale for $30 off and it was a great choice. In my opinion it would've been worth paying the full $99 for. It is very simply to connect to my phone and tablet via bluetooth and for the size of the speaker, the sound is very impressive. It gets pretty loud and the sound quality is very high. It sounds like your're listening to music from a nice pair of desktop speakers. It's great for partys or just listening to music while you're hanging out around the house. Awesome product.

Worked for a while and then gave out a few weeks after i bought it

This speaker is very loud for it's small size. It is also compact. I use it at the day care I work at connected with my iPod nano via bluetooth. I love it for nap time because it is so loud and doesn't skip like CD's do. All of my co workers are very jealous. The battery lasts for about 4 hours and takes 4 hours to fully charge.

Listened to this compact speaker at Best Buy and was impressed with its stereo sound quality, clarity, volume and ease of use. Fits easily into any laptop case and ready to use in seconds. I have had this speaker for a few weeks now and I gotta say I love it. The less expensive Bluetooth speakers simply are not worth purchasing. Sure you save money purchasing a lesser speaker but the quality of sound will not be pleasing and in the end you will wish you had spent the extra money. All too often I have purchased an item based on lesser cost only to later place it in a closet to collect dust, then purchase the higher priced item that I have should have bought in the first place. The other selling point of this speaker is the rechargeable internal battery. No need to purchase batteries and it comes with a simple USB power cable that with the right adapter plugs into your car power jack.

Just bought this speaker and I will tell you worth every penny that you spend. Was amazed at the quality and sound of the little guy. Bass pretty good and treble not to bad at high levels. I recommend this product.

I think the sound quality is really good but it sounded a lot louder in the actual store. I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend to use in an indoor basketball court and he says it's not loud enough over the bouncing of the basketballs but it was a good price.

I purchased this speaker so that I could enjoy music while gardening. I am very pleased with this product. The sound is crystal clear and the volume goes up fairly high without distortion. If you are looking for huge, booming sound you might want to go with a larger unit, but for its size this Bluetooth speaker is fantastic! It linked right up to my phone and is easy to use.

Great sound with good bass in a small to mid-size room. Easy to connect to with my Tab A.

I've bought mini speakers before but this is the first I bought a branded one and it was worth it. The battery lasted for 5 hours and the volume was loud enough to echo through my whole house. I especially bought it because it allowed me to use bluetooth for incoming calls. Great product!

Bought it as a gift for Father's day $20 buck off regular price, and for a budget not exceeding 100, the sound is worth it. He was able to play music in his 2nd floor bathroom while the iPod was charging on the 1st. If I could I'd have bought 2, 1 for me. Improving treble and bass over the years, Thank Sony, Packs Good Quality!

I've tried other speakers because you can get the a lot cheaper. But they are not very good. I returned them all. But this one is the best. Still hook it up to the iPad and then hook the iPad to a projector. Great sound and everyone gets to watch tv on a big picture with big sound from this little speaker. Love it.

I bought this speaker for my wife, as she wanted something for around the house with good sound that she could move and play music off of her phone. The Bluetooth connection is seamless. We had trouble connecting more than one device to it at the same time, but it's still a great sounding speaker.

I can't believe the sound quality produced by this compact device; greatly improves the sound you get from your music collection on your iPhone or iPad.

This is perfect for bedroom and basement to use while cleaning.

I bought this to listen to music in my cubicle at work. The sound and range are great!
