Great-sounding speaker, but support...
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Tunes outside-what’s better than that
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a nice speaker. Sound is solid but wouldn’t put it in the elite category. Lights are entertaining. Think it’s a fair deal for the price.

If you aint getting these you missing out
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The speaker sounds amazing good beat with or without bass . If you buy the combo it is amazingly awesome sound you could harldy hear yourself if you put the volume all the up or half way. Only i have a dislike is they cant be separated that much far out because itll start doing static noise trying to stay connected. But overall its the best choice.
