    • The ever blinking lights might be cool in a dorm room late at night, but I don't really care for them in the middle of the day
    • Great bass and the lights are pretty cool when you have them going
    • Good volume, easy to connect and a nice light show
    • The soud is loud and clear, the lights are great, the bad is battery, it takes a lot to charger about 5 hours and its duration is also bad
    • The integrated light bar and the two white LED strobe lights are great visual fun and interesting to watch
    • The lights are fun and bright.
    • And now the party-- the flashing LED lights, and app support are unique, interesting features you wouldn't typically find in Sony-- and yes, if you aren't interested in the LED party beat stuff you can turn it off

    • The lights are cool too
    • They might enjoy the lights and the tapping feature
    • I don't need the dumb lights
    • In addition, the speaker cones glow with a cool white light, which not only pulses in response to the various bands of sound (highs, mids, lows), but the illumination from the cones also change their intensity, based on what the music is doing
    • There’s a lot of cool lights that display when it’s in use
    • The lights are also cool, but best for an outdoor setting
    • This speaker is really pretty, and elegant, all white with pretty lights radiating from the outer body, and corresponding to music.

    • The lights are pretty mesmerizing
    • It looks good and offers some led lights for visual stimulation
    • We turned off the stupid lights--a bug to us olds, but you might like them
    • The lighting is slick and you can tinker with it if you use the app or just stick with the settings.
    • If you're looking strictly for a wireless speaker, this is ok, especially if you're in different environments and it's waterproof with nice lights (that can be turned off
    • It is made of durable construction and contains multiple LED strip light with smaller round LED strobe lights
    • But a couple that more to my taste as I don’t like the strobe effect or fast moving lights, I just like the lights

    • The lights are cool or annoying depending on who you ask
    • so I don't think it's the TV.The LED lights are a cute feature and tend to keep up with the beat
    • The sound it gives for such a portable device is nice; the lights are a fun (if frivolous) addition; and it has a very good battery life
    • In Party mode the speaker flashes some strobes and has a cool light stripe that runs the front of the speaker top bottom and side that changes colors as the music is playing
    • Also, multicolored LED strobe lights will add some swank to your party
    • The cloth surface hasn’t seemed to pick up any stains or dirt in my time with it, the lights are pretty cool when you change them to your liking, it sounds pretty good overall with the ability to tune it, and the waterproofing means I can take it into the shower or bath without worrying about it

    • The lights are so cool

    • When I had a phone that was not an iPhone, it would often disconnect from the speaker and it was a little more difficult to get to do what I want (like turn off the lights)
    • Despite its relatively short battery life, considerably shorter than advertised, I really love these speakers -- light, wonderful sound, easy to use
    • However, I expect longer life now that I have seen all the lighting modes I need to see and have disabled the lighting
    • Hopefully they'll update the app to let you totally disable the strobe lights (like, really, they're an actual health issue for some people)

    • We use it everyday, the sound quality is outstanding and the lights are fun to watch as they move along to the songs

    • , app allows a lot of customizationThe Bad: Is very bass-heavy even when tuned, Default lighting can be annoying, Nonsensical “feature” for tapping on sidesThe Bottom Line: This speaker is a very good party speaker - it is very loud and the lighting is pretty cool
    • This speaker has a lot going for it:++ a wonderful form factor, very easy to carry around++ a full bodied sound, neither too bright nor too muddy++ excellent volume - no need to strain to hear even in a loud room++ a great textured fabric covering, which is awesome to the touch++ stellar lights that pulse in time to the music and add a whole new level of engagement (yes, I might be tacky)++ an awesome waterproof feature ... which I probably won't test unless by accident++ options to connect another unit (to get a L-R pair as with traditional stereo)++ ...and battery powered ... so need to tether it to a
    • At first I didn't think I would like the lights, but they are fun & add a little bonus to this great speaker
    • Instead of just on the ends, like the XB30, the lights are now a colorful strip that runs around the unit, including the sides
    • 20 Hz–20,000 Hz (44.1 kHz sampling)Overall, I would indeed recommend this if being waterproof, dustproof, and rustproof are important to you, or if you feel the need for the gimmicky lights and PartyBooster sounds
    • Those lights are really cool
    • Sony has attempted to make this a 'party' speaker, with things such as music-reactive LED lighting and the Fiestable App, which allows you to physically tap on the speaker and add cymbal, snare or bass drum hits into the music you are playing.
    • You can also set the lighting to "calm" with 5 different color settings, which uses a steady color scheme for the surrounding LEDs without flashing the strobes
