    Purchased two of these speakers for in home and traveling use and the sound and clarity is great. The only issue is that when the speaker in bluetooth synced with another speaker there is a slight delay between the two that creates a distinct ripple effect when listening. Same issue did not persist when using cords to link the speakers.

    I wanted speaker to use in bathroom but with good bass. Jbl extream is good but too expensive. Harman onyx is the best but poor battery life n not water resistant so this is perfect in $149. It was on sale.

    Really impressed with this speaker. The bass already sounds good with normal play, but it provides extra bass if you want or need it. I listen to metal music and it gives it that deep sound I like.

    I work in a factory setting and me and other coworkers have used many speakers. This Sony has proven to be the best by far. Plus we can link speakers together for a greater experience.

    This speaker is awesome! It sounds very good and is very clear. I love the color changes that it makes as it plays. My son wants to take it to college with him but I'm not sure I'm going to let him. LOL

    The big base sound along with portablity makes for a good option. The ability to connect with other Sony Bluetooth smaller and more affordable speakers is a plus for larger space sound coverage.

    I've had several other speakers, from Bos to cheap Walmart brand. This is by far the best I've ever used. Take it to the beach for 10 days it was able to withstand to the sand, salt, and water.

    Speaker sounds good, but speaker would lose volume at 50% battery level. Exchanged and second one did the same thing. Sony tech support no help. Exchange for JBL xtreme. Sound blows sony away.

    Love this speaker. While it is pretty big, you understand why when you hear it. I mostly listen to metal music and this speaker is ideal for me. Love the extra bass feature.
