What reviewers say

Reviewers agree it sounds full, detailed and loud, has excellent battery life and works equally well as a home Sonos speaker and outdoors. All three find it expensive, and it is heavy and bulky to carry; TechRadar found the stereo effect weak and wanted a proper handle, and Trusted Reviews and SoundGuys note the line-in adaptor costs extra.
