    Love it! Very loud and clear. I use it for a baseball field walkup songs. I put it on the home dugout side and you can hear it clearly at 3rd on a 60/90 field. You can also here it in CF but by the time the sound gets to you it will be drowned out by chatter.

    Sound quality is amazing. Not too punchy just the right amount. It does sound better when plugged in. Battery life is most impressive with moderate use and sound at 50% it gives at least 3 days of playback on a full charge. The application with controls is very easy to use.

    Just received mine today and gave it a quick run with Spotify. Sound was clear and bass was solid. Never got it up over 40% as far as volume as my wife is upstairs on a work call. Just ordered a second one to pair with it, these will replace our old wireless Monster speakers for parties and outdoor movies. Will update or add a new review after I test out the speaker grouping feature and BT range.

    Worked amazing at our wedding and we just paired it with a second one. Awesome return policy from best buy where if you dont like the sound or if they dont pair well together with other ones you can try out a different one. Ended up taking this on a hike 5+ miles and wasnt that bad lugging it around as it is probably less than 50 lbs.

      Hi, SamanthaH,

      Thanks for the review and the 5-stars rating! It is truly wonderful to hear how much you and the kids are enjoying your Sony Portable Party Speaker! Our X-Balance Speaker Unit features an almost rectangular diaphragm, for an increased surface area compared to conventional speaker units. The 140 mm x 140 mm larger woofer unit gives clear and deep bass sound.

      Thanks for choosing Sony, have an amazing day!

    Speaker is powerful and light enough to throw in the car and take on trips or to job sites. The unit will charge fast and run on battery power alone which is handy. You can turn on the lights or keep them off. It also has a lot of bass which you can turn off the bass boost too. I love it.
