||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had many friends and family members ask me what i pay for my Sony speaker and my response was it's not what you pay its what kind of sound comes out of it. They said i was crazy too pay that much. I began to pay the music on my sony speaker and they were so blown by the sound and the lights on the side. THANK YOU and yeah i would purchase another one like it.

I like it! Can it be Louder? Maybe.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Sony Portable Bluetooth speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall this is the best portable speaker i have ever owned. Always listen to it on mega base mode though. The quality of sound that comes from the speaker is A+. I can finally listen and understand all the words of all my songs with this Sony portable Bluetooth speaker. The speaker is much bigger than shown in speakers. This speaker will not fit in a backpack. But this speaker can boom.
