    This speaker is amazing! Extremely loud and has great bass! Everyone wants to know where we bought it. We bring it camping even though our camper has outside speakers. Love this big speaker.

    Awesome speaker if you like bass! Other speakers will give you more High end / treble for the price, but I personally like bass heavy music. I also always EQ these speakers custom depending on how I want to listen to music. Used it to MC my wedding rehearsal dinner with the mic input

    This is a great sounding speaker. Easy to connect to and easy to operate. I picked this one over the jbl boombox because of the dust resistance. The Sony has been rated as opposed to the jbl that has not been tested. That way on a beach you are good to go.
