This speaker ROCKS (pun intended)
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker is amazing! We got this one to replace our Sony speaker from a few years ago that was having aggravating connectivity issues, even with no obstructions. Anyways, this model sounds much better and have had 0 connection issues and the lighting sequences really complement what you’re listening to. Highly recommend to anybody in the market for one.

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

Excellent Speaker!!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this speaker! Nice and rich deep sounds that smaller desk portable speakers don't provide. Excellent price for how how nice this speaker is built. It has a good heavy weight to it when you pick it up (Does not feel cheap at all). I am very impressed by all of Sony's portable speakers. I had my other tiny Sony portable bluetooh speaker for years and years and I hope this big one last just as long!
