||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is Awesome. Gave it 3 Stars because unable to Party Connect with Other Sony Speakers (XV900's) via Laptop. Can only be done with Mobile App. When you disconnect from the Mobile the Party Connect is no longer connected, and the PC version of Sony Music Center doesn't allow. This was confirmed with Sony Customer Service.

Nice speaker not easily portable
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My intention was a loud bluetooth speaker that was portable. Yeah that last word ruined it. About as portable as a grand piano. However while I did like it and the sound. I was in way over my head. Returned product.
