Good but not great especially…

When I first opened the box to this Sony speaker I was like whoa. I mainly wanted to play music from my phone through Bluetooth and that was an easy setup. Once everything was set up I was disappointed by the quality of the sound. The base wasn't quite as punchy as I had hoped the mids were fine and the highs were kind of flat. So then I discovered there was an app that should allow you to tweak these things. It does allow to tweak these things and I was able to get a very good sound, a sound that has punch and carries but doesn't disturb the neighbors around our pool. The app isn't quite intuitive and it kind of bugs me that I need the app to get a good sound. Now that I have the sound I like it's a very excellent speaker with just a few downsides. One downside is the fact that it doesn't have a battery and needs to be plugged in. A lot of other speakers at this price have a built-in battery so this is a slight disappointment. It's not like I didn't know this ahead of time but at this price it would be nice. Probably the biggest downside was the fact that when you first get the unit and it's off it goes into demo mode which the instructions don't tell you how to turn demo mode off. There's a little sticker on top of the unit but that didn't help me at all. I ended up googling how to do it and it turns out you need the remote which you almost never use otherwise! I have to give it to Sony for making a very good looking and stylish speaker. The styling is second to none. Also the lighting is very cool easy to adjust and turn off if need be.
The speaker has a ton of inputs for music, be it CD or USB or line in or Bluetooth or it can act as an amp for a microphone or a guitar. The CD seems kind of dated but I'm sure there's people who still use that. And as long as you have a CD on the unit you might as well have FM which this does which is a nice touch actually. As long as you remember the antenna that is which is included but you have to install it.
My kids were giving me a hard time about getting the speaker because they thought my small Bluetooth speaker sounded just as good until I sent them to the other side of the pool where they barely hurt the small Bluetooth speaker yet they heard the Sony speaker clear as day.
