Disappointed
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is NOT loud as expected. It can fill a small room with good sound but once taken outside for outdoor fun, it loses all credibility as the sound has no real reach. I have an older $75 apeaker from Amazon that sounds way better. Too bad I can't return this item, I just tried it this weekend for an outdoor event and everyone complained on how low it sounded.

Not worth $200
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely awful speaker for $200, my old bose soundtouch 10 outperforms this by a mile. It is extremely quiet and muffled at any volume no matter the setting. It sounds like a speaker with a towel wrapped around it. Never again will I purchase a sony speaker
