Speaker performs amazingly indoors, with excellent clarity and full bodied sound at a decent volume level. Incredible amounts of bass with the Extra Bass feature on and at around 40-60% volume, especially considering the small size. Outdoors the speaker loses a lot of bass, unsurprisingly given the size of it. You will likely also lose Wifi playback, which sounds better and is unlikely to cut out, unlike Bluetooth. Google Cast/Spotify Connect setup and playback is incredibly easy and sounds great; Bluetooth streaming is even easier with NFC compatibility. LDAC compatibility allows for better quality streaming over Bluetooth, and it works great.

This item gains mixed reporting in reviews but it does exactly what Sony say it will do and competes well with similar and higher priced like items on the market. Extremely pleased that we chose the Sony units.

Love it so handy and amazing quality sound. . . . . .
