    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.

    I purchased this for my outdoor projector screen setup. I tested it thoroughly and found that with the output of my Epson protector (3,5mm), I just could not get it loud enough. That said, I ordered a $20 amp from amazon, which made it just a little bit louder that made all the difference. With the amp, sound is clearer and can get it exactly as needed. The app for this is awful. Sony should be ashamed of themselves for this crap. Also, the speakers all have the same BT name making it next to impossible to isolate for settings. Again shame on Sony. These speakers are SUPER heavy but have a good handle for grips. I have not tried the karaoke function or guitar amp
