    This speaker was exactly what I wanted for my office. Tremendous sound for such a small speaker! I love it. It's sleek looking and fits in anywhere. It's small enough to take anywhere.

    The Sony Portable Speaker is excellent in sound, especially the Base. You can take it room to room or in a vehicle. Haven't had a problem with connecting or dropping.

    Excellent balanced sound for the size of this speaker. Everything is clear, and the bass is definitely good. For the price, it sounds almost as good as some Bose small speakers.

    It is a very good speaker to use and it is the size of a water bottle. It can get pretty loud and the battery last pretty good. The one thing i dont like is the material on the outside, it likes to catch a lot of different things with the mesh.

    The speaker is pretty nice, especially the extra bass option. Also, if you want to save the battery, you have the option to turn the bass off too. So that is a plus for me.
