    Purchased for someone else who seems to enjoy the sound quality. They are not super loud but make a great room or desk speaker. The person lives in a smaller open floor plan home and it works for them.

    When working on the cars or painting, I turn on bluetooth, pick my favorite radio channel from the phone. No more looking for batteries for the radio. The sound is great and it's small enough to carry around.

    Great speaker for the size. Wish the battery lasted longer but no biggie, just got use to charging after each use to avoid running out of power on the second day of use.

    For its size, you can't beat it. My phone doesn't pair with my car stereo because of its age, so I use it there and it's small and out of the way, with great sound quality.

    I love the portability, size, and sound from this wee speaker, and it easily pairs with all my devices. It's perfect for the office and smaller spaces but easily fills the air poolside. The super long battery life ensures any impromptu dance party will last as long as you want. Super glad I made this purchase!

    Wanted a portable speaker. Have sony headphones and earbuds, so trust sony and no new app needed on my phone. Even better and louder than I expected. Small portable speaker, great sound for as small as it is.

    This thing is the right size for my wife to use at her job. It fits in her coat pocket but still has some size and weight to it. It packs a good punch and the sound quality is excellent especially considering the price. This was a “best” buy. Lol
