I would recommend this to a friendWorst Bluetooth Speaker EVER
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker doesn't hold a charge for more than an hour, and the sound quality is not that good. I tried to get a replacement because the battery will not hold a charge and best buy would not help me AT ALL. Even when the speaker is plugged in, it uses more energy than it charges and will still die. In "low battery" mode, the sound will not turn on more than a whisper, due to the fact that it will not charge faster than it uses energy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBattery did not last long

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality of the speaker is good only bad thing is that it dies fast then gets super low.
I would recommend this to a friendSound isn’t good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got it home. It paired to my phone easy. I started playing music and the sound quality is awful. Very narrow sound. No real highs nor much bass. Some songs sound like you are listening to an old am radio. I would have returned it but paid for it with points. I have a different Sony boom box that I also pair my phone to that sounds great.

Impressive volume and depth
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a truly impressive speaker when it comes to overall power. I was shocked at how far I could push the volume. As for the sound quality, there are two things to note: 1. The pre-set EQ options leave music feeling a bit lifeless (lacking detail). I tried to let the app "auto-adjust" for my listening pleasure but I found manually setting the EQ faders was more effective. 2. Don't set the speaker on a soft surface. I first set it on a carpeted floor, then had it in my lap while tweaking sound settings. The directional speakers benefit most from a hard surface (or no surface if you are holding the speaker) to bounce sound off of. It might not be the best speaker to use at the beach or a picnic. The bells and whistles are cool. The lights are fun...yet no illumination of the control buttons. If you don't like the "disco party" you can turn the lights off with the app. The "tap" to play percussion instruments is also neat but kind of pointless. Unfortunately there is no clip or strap with this speaker. The battery life is very good for a device that is essentially just a little smaller than a Pringles can. Sony claims you can "Party Chain" wirelessly but I don't own any additional Sony BT speakers. However, I could see myself wanting to buy a second one and use two out on the deck or around the pool. This is definitely one of the better small speakers on the market.
I would recommend this to a friend So so
