    This speaker sounds great for its small size. Easy to connect to via Bluetooth and has been used around the house - including in the shower - and outside with no issues. Battery life has been really good too.

    Great sound, good bass. You won’t wake up the neighbors but it’s loud enough for an outdoor gathering. If your playlist has a song in concert you must use this speaker! It sounds as good as the higher priced speakers.

    I love this little speaker bc it sounds like a substantial speaker, is wireless, waterproof and the battery has lasted a long time on a charge cycle. The price was far lower than other speakers that sound no better.

    I bought this to have a speaker that is easy to carry on the go. It is very loud for its size and the sound is great. It has a strap to attach it to your backpack and it says that its water proof, although I haven't tested that or anything.

    When they emphasize the extra bass on this thing, they aren't kidding! This little guy kicks out some serious volume and the portability of its size makes it a heavy hitter for best bluetooth speaker I own.

    This little speaker packs a great amount of sound. I purchased this for my daughter to use when she is outside. The volume from this speaker is excellent and the bass boost does live up to its name.

    Absolutely LOVE this speaker. I previously owned a beats pill and the sound quality here is comparable if not better. Very easy to set up/operate ... and the waterproof feature is a BONUS! And I had purchased it on sale!

    Purchased this speaker to be able to use at work, needed something to just be able to hear some background music and but not too loud. A few pros and cons to this speaker. Pros: - Very small and portable speaker - Great price got the speaker on sale for $20 - Dust and Water proof major plus - Audio quality is good for small area maybe 10x10 keep in mind some where indoors is where I have been using it. Not too much noise in the background. Cons: - When turning up the volume all the way up audio begins to crack. I have no need to turn the volume all the way up so no big deal for me. If you decide to go ahead you will notice you will need to bring down the volume 2 levels so that the audio sounds good without any distortion. - Once you get to 20% battery the speaker won’t go up past 20% volume until you charge it, a little annoying. - Rubber case attracts a lot of dust, which If you have the black version you will see it much more. Overall the price I paid on sale was great but I would not pay retail for this speaker. If I had to pay retail price I would go with something else.

    This speaker sounds great. I use it in the golf cart and it plays well. The charge lasts for two rounds of golf and more. Also if drinks spill on this speaker, there’s no problem it’s water proof.

    These are the words I would Use to describe this speaker. It’s perfect for an area the size of 1-2 rooms. If you want something for an area bigger than that, I’d recommend getting something a little larger. Otherwise, I’ve been very happy with this purchase. If you go into it expecting a simple, clear and decently loud speaker, then you will be happy! If you’re expecting to shake the walls with this little guy, I’m afraid you will be disappointed. I also love that it’s waterproof and durable. My 1 year old runs around banging it all around and it’s still going very strong. Highly recommend for the price!

    I was looking for a small speaker with decent sound for a graduation present. This one fit the bill. It's compact but has great sound and comes in fun colors. Sony is known for good products, and the price was reasonable.

    Sound quality is good for such a small speaker. However it's best feature is it's size. It goes anywhere and lasts all night. I use it for ambient sounds when I sleep - works great!
