    This speaker wasn’t expensive, so you get what you pay for. Just ok. Sound could be better for a Sony.

    Great to play music. But the bass is too much to play nonmusical things like podcasts.

    I really wanted to like this speaker because the size and feel of it was just right but at the end of the day what killed it was the lack of volume, I don't always need the volume but it's nice to know it's there when needed. . . went with the Ultimate Ears which is way louder!
