    Love, love, LOVE this little portable speaker. We bought a blue one a few months ago and just purchased the red one as a present for Christmas (and it's adorable). The sound quality is excellent and quite powerful for such a small package. We've also accidentally dropped it a few times and there's been no damage.

    This is a must have! This little but powerful speaker is so versatile! You can attach it onto most anything and it packs quite the punch! We take it hiking, to the beach, and on our everyday walks. Sometimes you don’t want to be bothered with headphones, and this is my perfect choice! Great price point as well!

    While the speaker itself is tiny, the sound it puts out is excellent, but don't expect anything super loud outdoors. We used it at a day in and around the pool in Palm Springs and it held up fantastically well. If you're using it in a shower or other interior room, it's plenty loud enough, considering the size.

    Bought this for my mom on her Birthday. She had a pool put in her backyard and we needed something waterproof to listen to our music on. It was smaller than I expected but the sound projects like a bigger device. We were all very pleased. Would recommend if you need a waterproof speaker that won't break the bank.

    Very easy to set up. Sound is very good for its size. Easy to transport. The only negative I found is in adjusting the sound. If you want to quick turn down the sound quickly, like when someone walks into the area, you have to hold pick it up since the adjustment is on the side. Overall it sounds great. Best for a small area. I would recommend.

    Easy Bluetooth connection. Connects with all android and apple devices. Wonderful sound effect. If you more than one of this speaker, the surround sound effect is awesome. ( was so happy this product, I bought two different colours) Easy to carry on the trips. Cons-mic on the speaker doesn’t sync with laptop

    I bought this speaker to use in a classroom setting and it works quite well a loud sound and ample bass. We have it connected via Bluetooth to an iPad and have also used it connected to a laptop (via headphone jack cable) The pairing of the unit to your Bluetooth settings requires the manual to get the nuances Also, the charge cable is short.

    Bought this for using in a 2004 Pontiac Grand Am with no Bluetooth system. Great for GPS navigation and music of course. Very rugged and sounds great. I’ve always thought Sony products were great and it holds true for this device. I love this little powerhouse speaker.

    It was a gift to my boss at a nursing home for Christmas.... she just used it for the first time yesterday and loves it. Great sound and she loved that she could clip it to her waist. We passed out New Years treats and beverages to the residents in their rooms while we played music. Awesome product!

    I just did a review on a blue one and decided to buy another one in red. I linked the two together so when I am outside in the backyard I have stereo sound. Its extremely easy to Bluetooth to the other speaker and what ever device you want to link it too. I recommended it to my mom and she bought one and loves hers also

    This product is a steal, for the price your getting this for it's pretty decent. Song quality is good but it can be better if you download a equalizer or searching up a song that has bass boost. And note that this speaker is waterproof overall it has its pros and cons but it is indeed a solid speaker to have around 100%

    We saw this on sale right before Christmas 2020 and wanted to get it. We love Sony products. Speaker was amazing. It is great color, sound quality. We played a whole playlist of Christmas music while cooking dinner one night. We even used it on a zoom meeting for audio. It is a great speaker.

    Love this little speaker! I hook it to my laptop and the sound coming out of this is awesome! It has + and ~ volume controls on the speaker so you can tweak it from your device and the speaker to balance it out. Usually only takes about 2 hours to charge it when it gets really low and will last like 24 hours fully charged. Great speaker!

    Impressively good sound out of such a small speaker. I'd rather have a more compact speaker over the bigger ones. Very simple to pair with your phone and use. I used this to replace my car audio for a short period of time. Color says red but its more orange to me, but that obviously doesn't affect the sound quality.
