      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!

    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.

    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.

    The sound and style of this speaker are great! It delivers clear audio and looks awesome. My only complaints are that it should have a handle with wheels for easier transport and a larger phone slot, the current one only fits your phone if the case is off. Otherwise, it would have been a solid 5 stars!

    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.
