    Brick of a Awesome Speaker

    IP67 rating. Great sound. Loud! Light show? Drum machine??? 24 hour + battery life! All the above are true. This is a really fantastic speaker that is IP67 rated. Feel free to get it dirty and wash it off. It is solid as a brick. In addition to a light bar and strobe lights behind the grill, it has pressure sensitivity to act as a drum machine based on where you beat it. You can also set it to change volume based on how you punish it. Hit it hard, volume up. Tap it lightly, volume down. This is a smart speaker unlike a classic smart speaker. There is no assistant built in, it is smart in it translates your physical input. Don't ask it questions, it is not that type of smart. The sound is exactly what you expect from Sony, a really solid all around performer wit fantastic battery performance. From initial tests, over 24 hours of play time. Make sure you install the Music Center app from Sony, in addition to managing your speaker and the music apps used by default, you can set them up in party mode if you have more than one. It has all the bells and whistles needed. NFC, BT, Aux in, etc. Buy one, no buy two! They are fun speakers we look forward to having poolside or at the beach. I recommend two times!!

    I own several portable speakers and this ranks up there with the best of them. I'll start with the bass enhancement. My son listens to rap and hip hop and he claims that this better than some my more expensive speakers. I am not as focused on the bass, so I enjoyed the overall sound listening to 80's and 90's music. The lights are fun to watch and the seem to follow the bass rhythms. The system is easy to pair and works well with both Android and iOS systems.
