Its portability and loud volume are also frequently praised, making it ideal for parties and outdoor use. While some find it a bit heavy, the water resistance and attractive design are generally well-received. A few users mentioned that the price point could be improved and the app requires some enhancements.

    Speaker unit sounds great! I run it all the time on AC and the power cord is too short. The set-up/how to use sheet is all pictures with no words - I'm confused reading it (but I had BestBuy set it up and they explained to me I should have the Sony Music Center app on my phone to have full control of the system) but there are no instructions for using the app! Sony, you can do better!
