    Sony is always the best brand. Reliable, lasting a lot of hours after charging. We used it on July 4th and it was a great experience.

    Even to the lost spoiled ears, this unit delivers powerful sound, and most importantly has an amazing battery life. I love deep, warming bass and have many home subwoofers to produce this feeling. I certainly wasnt expecting to much low end from the sony unit but i am pleasantly suprised!
