If you pour water on your speaker you don't have to worry as it will bead off the thing.
Took this on a float trip and the battery life is very good
The battery life is great and the sound is good enough, so for the $99 price tag, it's a good deal.
This is a great speaker, very good sound, very good battery life
One issue I did have and found that other people have, though, is that it will stutter as if it’s buffering about once per song when connected to an Android phone running 6.0 Marshmallow, which admittedly is a few years old now
It is a well built sturdy Sony product however and that's why I gave it three stars
I usually don't like products that also have an app, because the app is usually crap, but not so with this one
I love Sony products so I am a big fan and expected a lot from this speaker
I don`t know if I got a defective product or that`s just how they are
But neither detracts from what is a simply an outstanding product!In short, there are no downsides for me - and overall, I could not be happier with this unit
It's lazy, and it ruins anything but a subset of popular music with no complexity to lose in the first place
I got to thinking, in order to be fair and give Sony the benefit of the doubt, I had failed to consider in my first test run and review, that the short battery life might have been the victim of running the "light show" on the speaker, the whole time that it was playing loud music
so you get additional sounds out of while your favorite music is playing
It's lazy, and it ruins anything but a subset of popular music with no complexity to lose in the first place
While this is fine music, it's not so great for normal speech
Sony doesn't disappoint with this small portable Bluetooth speaker
I’m not really sure what made Sony throw in all these different gimmicks, but they would have to be for a small curated audience I would think
(Sony XB10 Portable Wireless Speaker with Bluetooth, Black) speakers and assumed these would be like those but bigger and better
The speaker is loud, and maybe the Bose sounds better (sound link, sound revolve, etc, but they dont't sound as loud as the Sony, in my opinion I wanted to buy the best speaker there was an jbl that cost 450$ but it was to big, Sony is the best portable speaker period I checked all speakers in the store
The only other experience I've had with Sony wireless speakers is with the Sony XB40 Portable Wireless Speaker with Bluetooth and Speaker Lights, Black, and that was very positive
This is a nice speaker with amazing bass sounds and cool lights
Not only is it great looking, it also has good bass and other cool features
The sound profile was lacking bass and lacking good human singing voice reproduction, the sound's dimension felt small and narrow, and did not hold up in high volume
These small Bluetooth speakers purposely overemphasize bass and trick the ear into being impressed
Great bass and the lights are pretty cool when you have them going
Where it loses stars is the power cord and battery life
Usually, I would recommend this option; however, the flat line on the EQ did sound as good as if you elevated each of the three areas (treble, midtone, bass) in some successive pattern
On my first test run, I had played it with the light show going the full time, as well as with the above average sound level
We use it for background music at home as well as when my daughters are practicing routines with their music.
One issue I did have and found that other people have, though, is that it will stutter as if it’s buffering about once per song when connected to an Android phone running 6.0 Marshmallow, which admittedly is a few years old now
The music app is a bit difficult for me at first, yet it all depended on if I had enabled Bluetooth, and registering this baby was not allowed at one point,
The IP67 rating and the other features mentioned make it a decent option that will provide some durability that's missing from many other portables, but the bass response and lack of charger detract a bit.
While the flashing lights are great for when I have guests, personally I enjoy the lights when I'm home alone too because I just love a bit of a light show any old time
It may be a bit harsh, but when a company makes a bold claim, they need to deliver on it
The light system, while gimmicky, adds a bit of fun, as does the ability to setup multiple speakers in a group
