So, how does it sound? Well, it sounds pretty good, but it could certainly be better. Perhaps the most important aspect of any speaker is the audio quality. How Does it Sound? Cory Gunther / Review Geek


It’ll take up a lot of room in your backpack or beach bag, that’s for sure. Sony says the pentagon design makes it easy to “grab and go,” but it’s roughly twice the size and heavier than many cylinder Bluetooth portable speakers I’ve used over the years. However, Sony says it doesn’t need a big grill thanks to its “Line-Shape Diffuser” technology that claims to deliver a wide listening area down the entire length of the speaker front and a full 180 degrees, but more on that in a minute. I also wish the design had more fabric for sound output rather than almost the entire device covered in rubber. However, it’s designed as a stand-up speaker. At first, I wasn’t sure if I should stand it up or lay it horizontally for listening. The shape makes it pretty hard to hold with one hand compared to most speakers in this size and price range.

While I love this thing’s durability, the pentagon shape is a bit odd.
