Great sound a few glitches
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this with the Sony carry Boom Box that connects to it. I had some trouble with the two connecting and some other connectivity problems. Sound is good and loud and clear enough for this type of product that’s mad for the party not the audiophile. I got this on a really good sale they had in July. Otherwise I may have went with the JBL>>

Disappointing for the Price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I picked this up because there was an open box item available for what seemed like a very good price. Based on its size and MSRP, I thought I'd be blown away by the quality of this speaker. I wasn't. The speaker has great bass, and the high frequencies are present without being harsh. There, however, is where what I liked about the speaker ended. Even though the speaker can be oriented vertically or horizontally, I found the sound stage in every configuration to be rather narrow. You basically have to be standing directly in front of it in order to tell that the sound is stereo. For a spwaker of its size and weight, the volume wasn't very loud, either. Things got a bit louder when I plugged it into electricity, but I don't want to have to plug this thing in by the poolside. Ultimately, I returned the speaker and replaced it with something which is far more portable, far louder, and which has a far wider sound stage. Pros: Good Base, cool lights Cons: Not very loud for its size, narrow sound stage, far too large and heavy for its size, performs far below expectations for its price point
