    The sound is good, but it cuts out sporadically. The sale price I paid is equivalent to the quality in my opinion.

      Hi Patt,

      While we're glad you like the sound quality, we are sorry to hear about the issue with your unit. Please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience. The communication between the devices will be poor if there is an obstruction between the unit and the connected device. If you haven't yet, please try the following troubleshooting steps below to isolate the issue.

      - Turn off the playback device and then turn it back on
      - Change the position or location of the unit or connected device.
      - If the connected device has a cover on it, take it off to improve the communication distance.
      - If the connected device is in a bag or in a pocket, try moving the position of the device.

      - Move the device away from the following:
      • Areas where wireless LAN access points were set up.
      • Radios, TV, tuners, microwave ovens and such other devices.

      - Move the connected Bluetooth device close to the wireless speaker.
      • Walls, metal racks or other objects may interfere with the connection between your wireless speaker and source device.
      - Issues may occur if you're operating applications or accessing the settings on your mobile device. Stop the Bluetooth playback if you're performing these operations.

      Hope this helps.
      Thanks for sharing your feedback and for choosing Sony!

    This Sony portable Bluetooth speaker exceeded my expectations! Out of the box pairing to my iPhone was incredibly fast, quick download of the Sony app to tweak the speaker’s settings and we were enjoying music poolside. The sound is rich and full outside by the pool and the fact it is waterproof is a major plus. No need worrying if it gets knocked in the pool or if is gets caught in the rain. It took getting knocked over like a champ, no skipping no scratches. Fully charged it lasted all day outside, 8+ hours and still had battery to spare. I like that it uses a usb-c cable to charge and not a proprietary cable, making it so easy to charge. I look forward to taking this on vacation to the enjoy tunes while relaxing. I am quite pleased with this speaker, the size is perfect to put in a cup holder and it sounds fantastic! Would definitely recommend and a great sounding affordable Bluetooth speaker with power to spare.
