What real-world battery life at heavy boosted-bass party volumes?
At boosted-bass parties, this Sony portable Bluetooth speaker reduces runtime significantly compared to rated figures. Sony’s 24-hour claim assumes moderate volumes and disabled lighting; heavy bass and lights cut endurance. Measure expected duration by testing at your party volume for one hour, then extrapolate remaining percent. If you need guaranteed all-night play, use two speakers swapped when one charges or connect AC power. For a 100-person party, use two to four speakers placed around the crowd for even coverage.
