    This speaker Rocks! I bought it for an outdoor wedding and it surpassed my expectations. This one speaker filled a large area outside with great sound. I was able to DJ from my phone and the Blue tooth range was in incredible, as was the battery life and sound. Had it at about 1/3 volume for 4 hours during first part and 3/4 -max for 6 hours during reception. Still had plenty of battery life at the end of day. Everyone was amazed at how much sound came from one speaker and it was about 40 feet away and filled such a large area outside. Also this thing rocks my house! It's a mobile indoor out door dance party. I bought one as a gift for my brother in law and two other people from the wedding went and bout one as well. Great value and sound quality!! Catch it when it's on sale and even better. App, sound quality, bass, battery, all 5 stars earned It's a beast to carry but whatever.

    Great sounding speaker! I used it for a roadtrip, as my car speakers broke, so I put it in the backseat. It has a good audio range, and the Sony Music Center app gives you a lot of customization for how it sounds and other features. You can even simultaneously connect it to other Sony speakers!

      Hi VenezuelaB, We're happy to hear this feedback! Good to know you like the powerful sound and bass that this unit delivers. The maximum sound volume for playing music depends on whether the speaker is running on power from the connected AC outlet or from the rechargeable built-in battery. This, however, does not indicate a malfunction. To play music louder, connect the speaker to an AC outlet.

    Not quite a JBL, but pretty close.

    Honestly, I bought this speaker last minute to DJ a baby shower. I originally reserved a JBL 1000 for the event but the person cancellwd on my the day prior. I scoured the stores for a JBL to buy for my event, but couldn't find any, so I settled for the Sony. I was a little nervous half expecting it not to provide enough sound for the event, but I was pleasantly surprised as it filled the room, and provided music for 80 people. The bass doesn't hit as hard as a JBL, but for the price it's very very close. The lights are someone mininal compared to a JBL, and the light application is garbage, don't bother with it, but the sound shines over all. The battery life is phenomenal however, you're going to want to keep this speaker plugged in for maximum sound. It lowers ever so slightly on battery power. You only notice this at higher volumes. The mids, highs are super clean, and the bass is a 9 out of 10. The audio through a microphone is so clean it could double as a P.A., also it doubles as a guitar amp, cool bonus. I recommend this for small gigs and parties.
