Great little speaker
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought it as a gift for my daughter. She loves it. Sound is great, one of the reasons I picked it. Can't really go wrong with Sony. Looks good, feels good for a small(er) speaker. Can't say too much about durability, but I don't think that's something that I'm gonna have to worry about too much. Solid little speaker.

Posted .Hi JanisR,
While we're glad you like the loud and amazing sound of this speaker, we're sorry you've been running into difficulty. The estimated charging time varies depending on the power output capacity of the connected USB AC adaptor (commercially available). Additionally, charging may take longer to complete if you're using the speaker while charging. We recommend turning off the speaker while it's charging.

Great sound!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the sound. I was looking for something with a little more bass, and this did the trick. The sound doesn't carry outside as far as I expected, but it'll do the trick for a small backyard party. We may end up purchasing another one since you can pair the speakers for a wider range of sound.
