Surprisingly Good
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m usually a pretty big audiophile, so I don't hold high expectations of a speaker like this. That said, I’d say this thing is pretty solid value. It did what I needed that weekend, and the sound is definitely decent.

Great sounding speaker, bluetooth unreliable
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice speaker, sounds amazing and rich for a bluetooth portable speaker. Fills up small to medium size room easily. Bluetooth connectivity breaks up sometimes and sound cracks up due to that but havent noticed any problem while using outdoors with android phone

Sony - XG500 vs JBL Boombox3
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had purchased the JBL Boombox3 for ~$500. Needed a good shop speaker. It had a crackle in it and distorted after mid volume, but I dealt with that. Then it fell a couple inches off the table and the end speaker broke off. Unacceptable for a supposed outdoor speaker. Bought this instead on sale for about half that and it is fine. Base seems slightly less indoors, but it works great in our environment. The sound quality seems better than the JBL and it has a few extras we may use sometime.

Good
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good. It’s great for the pool, even the beach. It isn’t going to replace dedicated speakers with woofers in your home, the volume just isn’t there. But it provides significantly more bass and volume that the typical, smaller, sizes…. And overall better sound. We use it regularly.
