Just in time for the weekend! Get the party started with Sony’s high power home audio system with Bluetooth. The speaker is now on sale for under $200, or 43% off its retail price on Amazon.
Usually retailing for $348.00, the system features clear and crisp sound with extra bass for all sorts of dance parties. It easily connects to any smartphone or laptop via Bluetooth, or NFC (Near-Field Communication) for simple connectivity that’s a breeze to set up. The speaker comes with a remote, so you’ll always control the room with hit songs.
You can also connect multiple speakers together for a “Party Chain” that will keep the party going all night. And if you want more of a party atmosphere, the home audio system even comes with pumping LED lights that will convert any space into a hip and fun nightclub where you don’t have to pay a cover charge. Just plug it into any wall outlet to get it all started, or bring the party with you because it also runs on AAA batteries. Read more…
