    We love quality but we misuderstood how to use it. To max out the performance of any speaker you must use hi fi quality tracks….playing music from youtube videos lacks quality and wont let you hear the crisp of the music. Try using tidal or subscribe to your music app service and play with hi def tracks youll fall in love with this speaker.

    The sound is absolutely amazing! Sony has come a long way with its technology regarding blue tooth technology. The speaker is heavy and well made. It’s functionality and settings allow the user to tune the speaker to exact specifications. I highly recommend this speaker… you will “not” be disappointed!

    Bought this speaker for my son and before giving it to him I listened to it to check how loud it sounds. It is pretty loud and the features are nice, like the lights and the app that you download so you can connect it to the speaker. Price was good not crazy expensive. I recommend it for anyone looking for a nice speaker.

    This thing is a blast. Powerful. I connected it to my TV and it almost sounds better than my Bose 700. Almost lol. But I can imagine using this for a party or something else. It will get loud enough for your needs. USB port for charging on the back. Slot for phone on the front. Sony comes through with a good one this time.

    Poor when unplugged

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have had a chance to use the speaker for the last six months. Its got good sound quality if i use certain apps. For example using it with the stock phone music player, the sound is not very loud. However when i use it with my third party app called Poweramp, the sound is just crazy. When it comes to loudness, the sound is average if the speaker is not plugged in. When you plug it in is when you feel ground shaking bass and loudness. So it is basically somethin I like to use where there is power connection, if none, you will be left yearning for more. Now to the battery life, the manufacturer states 20 hours of playback with certain parameters. However in my experience, the speaker is really poor with battery, and you will be lucky to squeeze five hours from it if it is unplugged. And that is if I am listening to it with lights off, average volume and no megabass. In summary I feel disappointed in it especially with battery life.
