    Its a good speaker, but can be pretty heavy to move around and bulky. As long as you are okay with those its a great speaker.

    I purchased this for my outdoor projector screen setup. I tested it thoroughly and found that with the output of my Epson protector (3,5mm), I just could not get it loud enough. That said, I ordered a $20 amp from amazon, which made it just a little bit louder that made all the difference. With the amp, sound is clearer and can get it exactly as needed. The app for this is awful. Sony should be ashamed of themselves for this crap. Also, the speakers all have the same BT name making it next to impossible to isolate for settings. Again shame on Sony. These speakers are SUPER heavy but have a good handle for grips. I have not tried the karaoke function or guitar amp
