    Bout this 8 months ago and it’s still going strong. Batterie life will surprise you! Used this for a large friend gathering and i never saw full volume on it. It’s so much louder than you expect. The color shifting LEDs is a plus. There’s some apps you can download to change the LED settings too.

    I have been using Sony speakers for years now, and let me tell you that they just keep getting better! Very loud and very deep bass. Hits all the mids and highs perfectly. Only I would add is a roller wheel system on it because it is kinda heavy. Don't waste your time and money on JBL, these are just as loud and usually cheaper as well

    I bought this speaker for my 4th of July party mostly because I didn’t have the time to set up wired outdoor speakers. All I can say is wow, this portable, albeit heavy, speaker puts out some sound! The bass is heavy and the top end is crisp. The best part about this speaker is charge life. After charging for just a few hours this bad boy will last for a literal day. I had it running from 2pm until 11pm, full blast for most of the day, with its lights on. I checked the battery level before I turned it off and it still had 50% remaining! This speaker is well worth its price.
