All Good until but...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It sounds well, Love the party mode could really hookup with previous models making it a real hit. Only thing I was surprised about was when it meant Bluetooth speaker i thought i was going to be able to talk over incoming calls with it like the other models in Sony Speakers guess not. Other than that all overall is great just mentioning in case you expect to make calls other than that i do not regret the purchase.
