    I'm pretty disappointed with this product. I researched a lot when I was looking to buy a portable, waterproof/dustproof speaker with the ability to connect other speakers - or as Sony calls it, Party Connect. I bought two of these at the end of June for our July 4th party - fully charged both speakers up and set one up on one side of my yard and put the other speaker on the other end (my property is barely 0.4 acres) - they would not stay connected unless they were close to each other, and not only that, my husband had to leave his phone next to the speaker all day so that the music would play which was pretty inconvenient and even still, occasionally the sound would come out fuzzy and tinny at times, and one of us would have to walk over and reconnect both speakers. When the speakers are working as expected, the sound is great... but I'm not happy that I paid almost $600 for two speakers and am already having issues - I expected more out of Sony.

    I got this as an exchange for a warranty replacement (JBL boombox) it’s not in the same class as that speaker. I will compare it to my JBL Xtreme 3. It doesn’t have a light to monitor battery life. There are three little lights (power,Bluetooth,&, megabass) and to find out the battery percentage, you have to pop open the back piece where you charge and press a button that says “Battery -Battery Care” . The vocals comes out muffled, and the sound is good for high drums, but so-so with low bass. I walked out of range to see how far I can go before it loses Bluetooth signal; and it’s about the same range as my Xtreme3. The problem is that the Bluetooth signal doesn’t pick back up, even if I turn off my phone’s Bluetooth, it takes the speaker a long time to power down. You have to press and hold the power button for about 30-50secs to reset, and for the speaker to reconnect Bluetooth. The party lights are giving overcompensating, it’s not Party box if you was DJ’ing for a party, You get what you pay for, and Sony needs to do a refresh on this particular model, simply would be key and better voice ohms and better bass would be best too.

    The speaker sounds great and the app works wonderfully. However, I do believe there are better options out there. I would have returned it, but I was a day short on the deadline. Definitely try it out if you're just looking for a speaker at home. It's not an outdoor speaker.
