Plays quite well. Loud enough for the room. Thought it would rumble, but no. Here is the Bose Soundlink Mini against its background, it just mumbles. Although before that it seemed that there was just a full-fledged and deep sound. Not enough there of course the middle and treble. Sony plays more evenly, but, for objective reasons, of course, falls short of Bose in terms of power and weight. I won't be surprised, it's 4 times cheaper .
