Customers are saying

Customers highly value the HG1 Hi-Res Portable Wireless Speaker's exceptional sound quality, encompassing impressive bass and loud volume, making it ideal for various settings. Its portability and convenient Bluetooth connectivity are also frequently praised, along with the long battery life. While some find it a bit heavy, the positive feedback on sound, size, and price significantly outweighs this minor drawback.

    Being able to test these speakers in the store really made this decision easy. I wanted something mainly for the garage and mainly for talk radio/podcast listening. With the bass boost turned off, this sounds great, if maybe still a little too bassy, and music sounds amazing without it too. The big name, heavy bass brand of wireless speaker still has way too much bass even with the boost turned off. The other options available from Sony ( WiFi, and the phone feature) sealed the deal!

    Best for adding to Google Home/Cast Environment

    You can basically ignore the HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO features and focus on the unique skills this slightly hefty speaker has. Seamlessly joining with speaker groups in Google Home and Cast makes it useful even when you're not on the go. A barely noted feature lets you plug this into a computer or laptop and use the speaker's onboard DAC as your sound device. The sound is bass heavy with slightly weak mid range response but it is solid and feature packed.

    Sony is underrated in terms of sound quality for their speakers- and this is no exception. GREAT for travel, sounds fantastic, long battery life.

    I purchased these speakers as rear speakers for my Sony 4KHDR TV. They worked at first, then quit. Had the Geek Squad over again to re-set. Worked for about 2 days. They are also difficult to set up Bluetooth. Wish I would not have purchased. They are sitting on a table, not being used. Expensive ornament.

    For its size it sounds surprizingly good, with deep bass and crisp highs.

    Overall, great build quality and the included WIFI functionality is also great. The Sony app that accompanies it, is also well made and performs well. The sound quality is the only thing holding this speaker back. Mids and highs suffer from really bad distortion when the volume is cranked up. Otherwise, a good speaker when listening at about 50% volume.

    It's easy to carry around, fits in any small bag, the extra base comes in handy. The NCF? Even better..I love it..

    I own 2 of these. turns out that these can be added on to the SONY soundbars and work as rear surround speakers. The sound quality is amazing. They are really well built and feel really solid. I do have one complaint about the song pal app, its not as good as some of the other "networked audio" apps out there. I hope it will get better with time.

    My wife and I have been using this while in a motel room for a month and a half. We like to watch baseball games being streamed over the internet. By using the sound system we are able to enjoy the full sounds of the games as it is almost like sitting in the stadium. We also use the sound system to play MP3 s and movies. The sound is fantastic.
