    Amazing Sound from this system. The 2 microphone inputs make it fun to use during singalongs and karaoke. The microphone inputs have their own volume and voice changes such as echo or silly themes like robots or mice. The light are very intense and make a completely 360 degree show. You can turn the lights off and still have all the other functions which is nice if you plug this into a tv or projector. Great value and hours of fun.

    By far the best audio system I've ever owned. It's super loud when I need it to be and very soft and gentle just as easily when needed. No matter what the volume, the sound is crystal clear and there are so many additional audio features. Though I've only had this for around 2 months it has already entertained my entire family during a few outdoor and indoor celebrations!!! Absolutely Love this Sony Audio System!

    Very powerful speaker. It was its own DJ! My DJ canceled for my big event and luckily I had purchased this speaker in which I didn't want to because of the big ticket. It was a hit! There are so many features on this speaker its unbelievable! The only issue was I thought that it came with a microphone, but it didn't and there was not recommendation for one. I found a compatible microphone 4 days after my event, I got it anyways for next time. And 2 of the rubber pads came off the bottom while rolling it normally before even using it. Those 2 things are why I gave 4 stars...

    I discovered after buying this speaker/karaoke machine that you cannot use the older karaoke disks where you hook it up to your tv and the words show up. You either need a subscription karaoke service or just look up karaoke songs on YouTube. There is a place on the top to put your iPhone or iPad to help it stand up so you can see the words to the song. The sound is excellent! There are still features I have not had time to explore but will soon. You can tilt it to roll to a different room-there at wheels on one end of it. We have wood floors and it rolls well but not sure how it would fair on carpeted floors. It’s quite heavy so i wouldn’t say it travels well. But for home use it’s great.

    The sound is excellent, the lighting affects are awesome especially when it is dark in the room or area where you place the system. It definitely has enough volume to provide quality sound for a very large room or yard. The only negative is learning all the functions and don't use microphones in front of speakers always stand to the side or feed back is horrible.

    I purchased this as a Mother’s Day gift for myself and let me tell you, you won’t be disappointed if you purchase this gem. Sound quality is fantastic, light effects make it magical, they can be connected to your tv and it functions like a home theater (cables sold separately), listen to cds, usb, Bluetooth. It’s all in one, even can be used for kareoke . Get it and you won’t regret it!!

    Great speaker system for party gathering

    I was a little appalled by the price tag when I initially saw the speaker, but I was soon convinced and overwhelmed by the number of features it offered. Guess its worth the price tag if you prefer to use all the functionality it offers - more like pro DJ to keep the crowd on the dance floor and party going all night. Comes with a remote which is handy. Also, has an app that you can download for this speaker system. It’s a little heavy but the wheel at the bottom makes it portable. There is not dearth for the number of features it offers and takes weeks to learn/master them. Set-up was easy Rating : Out of 5 star Audio (5/5): Tested the sound quality for low and high volume, the sound is crisp and clear, doesn't get muffled at high volume. Can be used for indoor and outdoor parties. The angled speakers mimics the surround sound effect of a 5.1 live music system. It has 5 speakers in total with bass boost functionality. I am a big fan of bass and my comparison is with Klipsch (top of the line home theater system) woofers. It falls short (3 star) on the bass levels compared to my taste (but justified for its low price tag). Played different kinds of music from Jazz, rock, Rap, etc. to review the clarity for these frequency range. The MEGA BASS bottom is for boosting bass for bass lovers. Frequency Range Frequency Values Comments Sub-bass 20 to 60 Hz - pretty good Bass 60 to 250 Hz - falls a little short on expectations Low midrange 250 to 500 Hz - for harmonics - pretty good Midrange 500 Hz to 2 kHz - horn like quality - good Upper midrange 2kHz to 4 kHz - sound trimbe - average Presence 4 to 6 kHz - for clarity - average Connectivity (5/5): Has Bluetooth option for phones and has a app that you can download off app store. The CD functionality is a little redundant in this era, guess they kept it to keep the option for CD lovers. Also provides an option to play music (MP3) off of USB stick. It has one analog input if you want to stream music off of a aux input and 2 inputs for Microphones. It also has NFC technology so just tap your phone on the top and you are connected and has radio functionality with FM digital tuner - don't forget to connect the antenna cord Modes (5/5): It has a Taiko mode that lets you play along on samplers like bongo, surdo and the Taiko drum (tap and swipe on the top touch panel -Gesture control)- which is kinda cool and I enjoyed it and definitely got the attention of the crowd. Everyone tried it out to show off their drummer skills. Haven't explored the Karaoke features completely but it does offer 2 microphones (not included with the speakers) inputs for that. Misc Features (5/5): Splash proof top pannel to prevent accidental spills on the top panel. It has pretty cool THUNDER AND LIGHTENING effect, which I am thoroughly IMPRESSED with it - haven't seen this feature on any speaker system before- so pretty cool and definitely lights up the dance floor (6/5) App Features (4/5)- Can use some improvements (on Fiestable app) to provide more DJ functions. It offers music selection and lets you play music on several sony speakers if you have them all connected to your app Overall (5/5) this speaker is packed with features that none other speaker system offers in the current market. Definitely recommend this for party lovers as it offers ton of features for party music. This might fall a little short on expectations if you are looking more for sound clarity and bass, obviously the price tag will be lot higher if you want to compare it with top range speaker systems that focus more sound quality than features. It’s a matter of one's personal preference - sound clarity vs number of features and this falls in the later category with above average on sound quality for its price tag.There are lot more features on this speaker system that I haven't explored yet, going to take weeks to explore all the functions
