First impressions: The Sony PG 10 Speaker, looks rugged, loud and heavy. To my surprise, the speaker is lighter than it looks. When the table top is folded, there is grooves that act as handles for carrying. It doesn't provide the best grip, but it is sufficient for carrying it to where you are going to set it up. The speaker isn't so heavy, so moving it around is not a big task. When extended, you'll find four cup holders and a honeycomb textured tabletop to set whatever you feel like on it. The specs state it can support up to 10kg of weight on top, So I would not recommend sitting on it even though it looks like it could support a person lol. The speaker cabinet itself seems to be made of mostly wood, except the front and top. A wood speaker cabinet is best when it comes to sound. Wood is dense, resonant and rigid. Meaning, you will get a well balanced sound without distortion. It has two tweeters and a sub, when closed the tweeters front fire, and when open the tweeters fire up and out. It sounds great, indoors and out. Bass is deep, low, and thumps and stays clean at loud volumes. Mids are warm and full, highs and treble are clear without being too harsh even at louder volumes. The speaker is compatible with bluetooth, RCA, and USB connections. The usb port will charge your device while plugged in, a nice addition. It also has a microphone input for all you Karaoke lovers! It has separate volume buttons for a microphone and you can add effects and echo to it. To my surprise, the FM tuner has a very good and strong antenna. I took it to a local drive in theater and the movie sounded great with this speaker. Lol the people beside me appreciated the speaker and thought it was pretty cool. As you can see in the photo, the cup holders aren't very big. I had a 32 ounce cup and it did not fit in the holder. Still nice to have, will definitely hold smaller cups and water or beer cans and bottles. I can't comment on how this speaker would hold up in the rain or at the beach. But it should be great just about anywhere you take it. Sony provides two apps that you can download on your android or iOS device. The sony music center app provides music playback for hi res tracks on your smart phone or computer through network. It also lets you play with equalizer settings, so that you can set it to your liking. I honestly loved the sound straight out of the box. I'd recommend this speaker if you are an avid music listener, and love blasting music wherever you go. Great for tailgating, parties, poolside, patio, and drive in theaters! If you so happen to have one near you. The speaker battery made it through the double feature at the drive in.
