Sounds great - but some issues
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Let me say I am so happy with this speaker that I bought a second one. At a close out price, I’m very happy. At full retail I would be less so. The speaker sounds far better than I expected, but lacks some features of newer models. No wi-fi for example. But my biggest gripe that prevented a 5-star rating is that the Fiestable app doesn’t really work that well. You can change the colors of the display, but it doesn’t hold the setting! You have to keep your finger on it at all times so that’s fairly useless.

Great speaker but should get louder
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Four stars because it should get a little louder for the price. But the sound quality is available. I say available because it gets so much better after you set the EQ with the app. Another app controls the lighting if you wish. If you get a second one you can run them as left and right channels. And finally if you have more Sony speakers and friends with Sony speakers you can wirelessly connect up to 99 I believe to play the same thing. Pretty neat tech.
