Great sound quality, long lasting battery, great value for the money
Always my go to speaker type. Love the quality, design and colou
It’s good battery portable very handy just pop in bag and go , sturdy also only thing is sound quality it could be much louder was hoping it would be per reviews but it’s ok like stated could be loude
Definitely an improvement on our other Sony, that my good lady Decided to pilfer.
So decided to upgrade to this with a little more oomph and it likes to play rock music
Bought mainly for use in the older no Bluetooth car. Good sound but the bass is not ‘powerful’ by any means. It isn’t as good as it’s predecessor which I loved. Battery life is very good indeed. Overall ok.
Been looking for a decent blue tooth speaker for some time and this fits the bill in every way. Sony is always good quality, sound is brilliant and good value. Top notch.
Bought this for my daughter. Has good sound quality and is great at low volume levels as well as loud!! Battery lasts ages.
Very well made & easy to use.
This is our third Sony Bluetooth speaker, very happy.
The audio for the radio can be a little muffled but that’s to be expected due to the level of bass on the speaker. It’s great for listening to music. I’m still not sure how I feel about the battery life because I don’t use it for long periods of time in one sitting, so difficult to tell
Good quality sound and connectability. Robust without feeling clunky or too chunky.
Good Sony styling with discrete and practical buttons.
Some form of protective bag or case would have been useful, but I can get one separately.
Nice speaker with a full sound but it has too much bass (low end) not a problem though, but I can see how it could be a small issue for some people.
It is just a shame they don’t sell it with a case though.
I would definitely recommend.
Nice piece of equipment although I use it in a bigger hall environment, it’s not the loudest speaker I’ve owned to be honest but well made and connects very easily to my iPhone
Sounded bigger than I thought it would! Huge sound from a small speaker for its price very happy. Sounds too bassy at first but it’s only because I had a weak speaker before not used to it. All in all very happy
One wonderful sound source indeed. Easy to use, pair with Bluetooth etc. Very satisfied about sound quality and how loud it can be. Battery does not last very long if loudness is above 50%,but it is fairly quick to charge.
Great sound quality, good bass and battery life is excellent. Easy to pair with Alexa to play music with voice commands on our echo dot. Very happy with this speaker.
I have often bought Sony products but this one stands out, this speaker works flawlessly and sounds great. Take the time the explore the settings. Its worth it. The settings really make this stand apart from other speakers. Also take the time to check your phone or source settings as this make a huge difference. Enabling LDAC made a massive difference for me. I would recommend this to anyone.
Multiple device pairing, takes calls, lasts ages, built to take a bomb blast, and water resistant. It sounds fantastic, and it is room filling. Built in hook makes positioning a breeze. Fantastic device.
Sounds amazing, really loud without loss of quality, when on full volume the battery life is about 5 hours, obvious the lower the volume the better the battery life, ( I use it at work so have it loud) .
Looks great and pairs easily with my android phone.
