    Very happy with this purchase. I initially had one of these and it sounded great! Then I bought another one so I could run them in Stereo. Using the simple Sony App, I configured two of these to run in Stereo and it was absolutely a game changer. One is great, two is AWESOME! My entire patio filled with perfect sound, and it felt like I was in the middle of a concert hall.
