Poor battery. Poor sound quality.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don’t know if I got a dud, but this does not hold a charge at all. Went from fully charged to 20% in 10 minutes. It’s also not very loud. I can barely hear it at full volume if I’m working in the garage and walk 10 feet outside. The sound is very bass heavy (which I usually don’t mind) so much so that it drowns out other sounds instruments when listening to music and it makes listening to a podcast almost impossible. Do not recommend.

Posted .Hi Zach,
We regret to hear that you are not satisfied with the speaker. Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority.
The sound quality may vary depending on the source content. The surrounding area of the speaker and your device also affects Bluetooth connection as well as the sound quality. Move the speaker away from a device such as a microwave oven and a wireless LAN access point that may affect the sound quality of the speaker. Bring the Bluetooth device closer to the speaker. If there is any obstacle between the speaker and the Bluetooth device, move it out of the way.
For optimum performance, make sure to charge built-in battery sufficiently. The sound may become low in the following cases. This is not a malfunction:
-When the built-in battery is running low and the CHARGE indicator flashes slowly, while the speaker is being powered by the built-in battery only.
-When the rechargeable built-in battery is running low as a result of long-time use of the speaker at a loud volume even though the speaker was connected to an AC outlet by a USB AC adaptor (commercially available) or to a computer that comes equipped with a USB charging port.
-When the ambient temperature of the speaker is high.
It's important to note that while the speaker is physically capable of outdoor use, the sound performance can vary depending on the specific outdoor environment, including factors such as wind, background noise, and open spaces, which may affect the perceived loudness.
In some cases, you might find that the speaker's sound may not be as loud as desired for outdoor use, especially in noisy or wide-open areas. For optimal sound quality and performance, we recommend using the speaker primarily for indoor purposes, where environmental factors are more likely controlled, and you can fully enjoy its audio capabilities.
For battery issues, initialize the speaker to factory settings:
-While the speaker is turned on, press and hold the – (volume) button and the (BLUETOOTH) button until the speaker turns off (5 seconds or more). The speaker is initialized. Settings such as volume, etc., are restored to the default settings, and all pairing information is deleted.
Note: The speaker cannot be initialized while the power is off.
Hope this helps. In case you need additional assistance, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

Great Small Speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony has upgraded their wireless speakers a bit since the last model I purchased a few years ago. This version's sound seems a bit more cleaner and clearer (not that the previous ones weren't).

Awesome Piece

It has a bass-heavy sound that emphasises the punch in genres while vocals and lead instruments remain pretty clear in the mix.

Overall Good Speaker
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the speaker. It's compact, portable, and the strap is nice. For the model ti be called extra bass, I wish it had more of it, that's why it's at 4 stars. Other than that it's great quality, and a good portable speaker.
