||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I first turned it on it didn’t sound good at all but don’t let that scare you. You have to download the app and go into the sound settings and set it up to your type of music. I took this to the lake and used it on my friend’s pontoon boat and everyone loved it! The longest battery life for a portable speaker I have ever seen (30 hours) you can charge your phone and plug in a microphone or guitar!!

Great boombox but sounds like hollowed.
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have got this and returned it after two weeks use. Its build quality is good and, you know, Sony is the one of the best speaker making company. However, I expected this item was a bit bigger and emitted more dense sound. I have three GTK-XB60 and enjoyed party change or stereo. This much newer version of portable speaker is less attractive to me regarding sounds and design. Backside of the item is made of silicone so that It collects your fingerprint easily (would be a good function if you are working at CIA or FBI). Its sound is loud and woofer is strong; but Its treble is somewhat week. Furthermore, regarding its price, there are way much options you can go with.
