    What can I say, Sony is the bomb for sound and quality. I have tried JBL extreme 3 and the charge 5 but Sony has the much better sound for this portable speaker. Jbl has too much treble and mids, yes you can adjust the eq but Sony out the box has the much better sound quality I'm looking for. The Sony app has a better set-up, very sophisticated.

    At last! I have bought several portable speakers in the past, only to grow upset and disappointed with the results upon trying to get the Bluetooth to do what I want. This Sony speaker came with clear instructions, and the thing works beautifully. I couldn’t be more pleased.

    Sounds good and made with quality. Some downfalls are there's not much bass and no way to adjust bass levels, the sound is very directional if you are not standing in front of the slit then it does change the acoustics not for the better, the highest volume setting is not that loud which is lame.

      Hi kooroo, while we're glad that you like the sound quality, we regret to hear that you think the sound is very directional and not loud enough. We understand that everyone has a different expectation of what speakers should sound like. Please ensure you have the Sony Music Center app downloaded. On the app, select “Priority on Stable Connection (SBC)” for the BLUETOOTH connection quality of the speaker.

    I got this for tunes while I get ready for work in the morning. It definitely is waterproof for the shower. Maybe I am losing my hearing in my old age but JBL and even ONN speakers seem to have better clarity in sound. Still it works for what I got it for.

    pretty nice when it works, but two issues 1. stopped working after we used it a few times, now it won't charge or turn on 2. it seems to connect to multiple play devices at once, therefore it sometimes seemed to play sound from a different device than intended. a bit of a hassle
