Waterproof speaker with style
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm a fan, listening to it right now and the sound is clear and loud. There are bass pads on the top and bottom and don't "bump" annoyingly loud or inconsistent. Sound is clear and fluent. Takes 4 hours to full charges and last about 8 hours on full blast. Their is an Eco mode that will lower quality to save battery. Haven't tested that out yet. Also a really cool plus, if someone has another one they will pair to eachother and can play together in separate places, probably 100 feet apart. Nice colors, totally worth it.

Good quality sound no hype
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As Sony always does this speaker has good quality sound. I bought a mega boom Logitech fir my daughter. The Sony doesn’t have the big sound of the mega boom but it has quality audio. Probly not the speaker for a party, but if you listen on your own or on your deck, this is a great little speaker. Battery holds charge for several hours. Can’t say I have drained it yet. The longest I listened so fa continuously is 3 hours. Bluetooth is easy to oair and use. Only diwnside is the rubberized buttons are hard to read, as they are black raised rubber imprint on the same background. But you can still fumble around with the buttons to figure out how to turn up the volume or lower it, power on/off and Bluetooth pairing, etc.

Great portable speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used to own the smaller version of this speaker - and it was nice. Until I left it out in the rain to be destroyed. For weeks. Then, I saw a display where I could compare different speakers. This thing is significantly better than the step down - in loudness and sound quality; rich mid-tones and bass. Really exceptional build quality. I would buy this over the Altec Lansing speaker any day. It sounds better, and works well with many devices without issue.

Love my speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love my speaker! I hate buying speakers that don't last or gradually go down in volume quality. The speaker is easy to use. I connect it to my phone and computer frequently. It's very loud. I can hear it from the basement floor of my home, even if it's on the second floor. The speaker will let you know it's about to die. The charging time isn't long at all. I would recommend.

Just what I was looking for!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this! I use this at my farm to listen to music in the outdoor arena while I’m exercising horses. Very good quality sound, battery life, and easy to connect to! Luckily I have remembered to take it in with me every time I’ve used it, so I have not tested it’s waterproofing yet! I do think the price is a little high on it.... I think it is more fairly priced at $50-$60, but I had a coupon, so I took the chance and I love it!

Powerful portable speaker
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love it it’s sounds a 100 times better then my smaller older speaker and I love that you can hear the extra bass on it and the best is that you can use it in party mode if you have more of the same speakers by connecting them through the app. I also love the battery button that tells you how much battery power you have left. I definitely recommend it and it’s sound is great for less then $100.
