    Great speaker with great sound quality! I just wish the app allowed more options when controlling the lights because there's only 3 settings to choose from, but my old xb40 speakers had like 10 different settings for the lights. Still haopy with my purchase.

    A Powerful Speaker

    I’ve had this speaker about a month and so far I’m very satisfied. It’s more speaker power than I needed but since I’m not using it anywhere near max power it sounds great. It is rather heavy if you plan to move it round a lot. The Sony Music Center app works reasonably well and allows you to group with other Sony speakers that support “party mode” for simultaneous play (or stereo play which I haven’t used). I use it for workouts and the deep bass is highly motivating for me.
