Definitely Recommend!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent speakers. High "highs" and low "lows" can be resolved really well, while still maintaining that nice familiar round, rich, mid-tone sound that Sony is known for.

An amazingly simple speaker with awesome sound...
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this speaker so much, I have purchased three of them this year! I bought the first one for my wife and the ease of use along with the remarkable sound made it such a joy to use. Shortly afterward my father-in-law was so enamored of the speaker, that we bought him one too...he loves it and despite being technologically challenged, he is able to use it easily and frequently too. Finally, I realized I too could use that rich, full sound for myself, so I treated myself to one and love it.

Mixed Feelings
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good sound, great lights and customization available to the user’s taste. Just too heavy on the bass no matter what the settings were and the vocals were not as clear as I would prefer. Of course this is all very subjective so one always has to listen and test out.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
