    It’s good, very good. Not too sure what to expect from a “boom box” since I haven’t had one since the 80s ha ha! However, I felt that could be louder??? The sound is nice and since I have nothing to compare it too of the size category it’s hard to say where it stands. However, I did have it playing in a mid size dining room and while it did the jobs and it sounded great I had to turn it up almost as high as it goes, which I wasn’t expecting to do, especially at the price point that it is at. I got it on sale 100.00 less than asking price so I was okay with it, I just feel that maybe it could be louder than what I was hearing. I definitely recommend it when it’s it’s on sale, it’s really nice sounding and aesthetically looks great and I love it that you can plug in a microphone and a guitar!

    Exactly what I needed. If you are looking for the best audio fidelity for the money you can probably do better; if you're looking for a tiny battery powered sub you can carry I don't know that a better product exists, and if it does this is doing great until I find whatever that is.

    My wofe hinted that she wanted a bigger bluetooth speaker. She cuttently has a small JBL and we are convinced it it posessed, it tandomly turns itself on and off. It has intermittant connection issues. This sony has been flawless and has really good sound. My wife is very pleased with it.
