    Good sound clarity but it’s lacking in the bass department. If that’s something you’re not worried about then it’s a steal when it’s on sale for $400

    Low volume sounds good. If your looking for something for a patio gathering with soft music playing it a good choice. Has to be plugged in if played loud (it distorts bad at higher volume) if not it plays at half volume. Went to pick up a JBL 300 boombox, and the Sony rep talked me into this at reduced price. Should have stuck with JBL..

      Hi JamesB, While we're glad you like the sound quality on low volume, we regret to hear about the sound quality issues you're having at a high volume.
      Please note: The maximum sound volume for playing music depends on whether the speaker is running on power from the connected AC outlet or from the rechargeable built-in battery. This, however, does not indicate a malfunction. To play music louder, connect the speaker to an AC outlet.

      And by downloading the Sony Music Center app, you will find all sorts of tools to fine-tune the speaker using the built-in EQ and maximize the volume to ensure optimal listening experience. You may also find different devices will perform better than others, as will different apps due to different types of audio compression and transmission.

      Should you need further assistance, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:
