    Decent speaker for the price

    Decent speaker but not very user friendly. For one, you have to have two Sony apps to use the Bluetooth feature on the speaker. Without the apps, you don't get Bluetooth. Makes zero sense to me. The lighting app isn't good at all. I actually expected a little more power from the speaker. Good for a small to medium size room, not for a large room.
