Muddy Sound and No Aux
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's an okay bluetooth speaker. My complaints with it are two things: 1. Muddy sound. Probably good if you like rap and don't care about having a speaker with decent high-end audio. 2. No aux port. This really is a killer and limits you from being able to use it on your PC unless you want to connect via laggy bluetooth. Would love to use it as a gaming speaker on my PC but can't

Excellent
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First off, let me say that I have always been a fan of Sony products. This bluetooth speaker is of the typical Sony quality. It's easy to use and is very portable. I got it on sale $79.99 but I still would've paid the full price ($99.99) because the sound that comes out of it is truly amazing. I thought about getting a Bose bluetooth speaker but they are, in my opinion, overpriced. Go with the Sony, you will not be disappointed.

A great speaker w/ great price w/ upgrade options!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Im super pleased with these speakers. They offer a very "large" sound for a small package and can also get very loud without having a blown out sound. They've got extremely excellent range too. They'll do anywhere in my house or yard without loosing on dropping signal. The best feature is theres a mode to sink these are left and right speakers for a rear setup. I honestly they these things sound better than Sonys next step up.

Solid little speaker and good sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We decided to try this speaker to replace big tall wired speakers that just no longer worked. We have a 1987 stereo system that is still going strong and wanted a solution to be able to play our music. This speaker works very well. It delivers really good sound quality--even better than our old wired speakers ever did. It seems to hold a charge well although we plan to get an adaptor to plug into it so that it will have an electrical connection.
