Great speaker for the price!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony does it again. This is my second Bluetooth speaker that I've owned from Sony. My first was the SRS-X5 and still have it as well since Winter of 2013. This speaker has great sound and bass & seems to last for a few days of regular on and off usage. It will vocally let you know when to charge by saying "Please charge" when down to 30%. It seems to charge fairly quick also. The other features with taking calls, charging your cellphone, using a cable instead of Bluetooth are also very nice. I recommend this speaker to anyone looking for a decent speaker and price along with years of reliability.
