    I bought 2 so I could pair them in stereo and use them when I entertain or work out in the shop or garage. Plenty of volume and the batteries last a very long time. An amazing product and a reasonable price. Don't expect to rock the neighborhood with volume, but for a device that's about half the size of a soda can, they do a great job.

    Got this speaker for my wife. Thing is real solid, nice weight and build quality. Bluetooth pairs perfectly and the sound quality is really good for the size. Bass is good and not distorted even with reasonably high volume listening to hip hop. Got it on sale and would consider buying a second one soon to do the stereo pairing.

    I bought this so I could listen to music in my Kia. The stereo went out for no good reason one day and I hate driving without music. This little speaker is loud enough that I can hear it perfectly fine over the outrageous amount of cabin noise inside my car. The sound has nice bass and projects nicely. It pairs up super quick and easy too. Would definitely recommend!

    I needed a speaker so I could listen to music while I’m rehearsing with for band. I tested the speaker at Best Buy, and it sounded rich in full. however, it sounds a little thinner at home. I don’t think that Sony‘s fault. I just think it’s my room acoustics. regardless, it gets plenty loud enough for me, the bass is pretty good, and it always connects with no problem whatsoever. The only downside is that the charging cable it comes with is really short.

    Do not let the size of the speaker for you. The sound is big. Once you kick in the extra bass, you can fill a midsize room. Also, bonus points for the fact that it is waterproof. You can bring it into the shower or have it near the sink while you do dishes without concern. The color is also super cool. The strap is a nice touch.

    I bought this speaker to replace one I lost. This newer model gives a little mire bass than the previous one and I believe produces overall more volume. It is a great entry level speaker and does a good job when used inside in medium sized rooms. You cannot get enough volume for an outdoor party or for a large indoor room with slot of people. One thing I like is the siz, small and easy to carry around. Im very happy with my purchase.

    I have had this speaker for a while. It’s come along on picnic, while camping, to the park, and while tailgating. The sound is very good and it links to my phones easily. I like the portability and size. It has a good battery life.

    I was really surprised at how much bass this little bluetooth was kicking out! I was so happy with it, I bought another one two pair up with it so I can have that full stereo sound. It's no wider than a soda can and slight shorter than a 60 watt light bulb. And it's very easy to sync up with any bluetooth device. I love it.

    I purchased this for my dad for Christmas and he loves it. He works on a noisy environment and uses this speaker to play music. Even over all of the noise at his job, he can still hear his music perfectly. It's super easy to connect to Bluetooth as well. It's a great size to bring on the go.

    Bought this speaker for my father, since he lost his last one while fishing. Great buy, a lot louder than I expected it to be. The charge lasts a good amount of time and the sound quality is better than most small speakers. You can hear clear and crisp. Very happy with this purchase. I would definitely buy it again.

    We bought this speaker for use in our older car as we listened to a book over an IPhone. The sound quality is excellent. Very clear and excellent volume, even with road noise from our older car. Setup was extremely easy and took less than a minute. It is also a great price.

    I purchased one of these for my office and I love it. The sound is great, it easily tucks into my desk drawer, it keeps a charge for a long time, and the price is great. What more could you ask? I liked it so much, I've bought 2 more of these to use as giveaways at work events, and also bought one as a gift for a friend.

    This little speaker has some great sound and bass. The battery life is way better than expected. My only complaint is that when the speaker is working, the vibration tends to move the speaker and it has fallen to the ground before. I would suggest securing it or put something around it so that does not happen. Other than that, great speaker for the price.

    Just like its big brother. Great sound and ease of use. Doesn’t work with Sony music app which was a little disappointing. Great speaker for the price. Recommend it to everyone. Best feature, it is totally water proof. Check out Videos on you tube. Use it every morning in the shower.

    My wife needed something small for playing music from her MP3 player while building jigsaw puzzles. This speaker was perfect for her giving her both something small and providing excellent quality sound. By being portable she is also able to move it around the house as needed. She is very pleased with the results.

    Sony’s legendary quality and sound is on full display with these little powerhouses. It’s hard to beat these speakers for the money and sound quality. The bass and mids highlight the booming sound that emits from this little beast. Very durable and portable .

    Bought this for a vacation so I could listen to music by the beach, by the pool, and in the hotel room. This little speaker sounds great. A full charge does last a long time. The strap makes it easy to carry and allowed me to tie it to the beach umbrella. This is an awesome little speaker for sure.
