Speaker panel: Have you guys had issues with the speaker panel where the plastic part on the bottom came unglued?

None at all but I have heard some complain that it falls off. I triple checked mine when I got it home by lightly pressing at different places with no visible signs of bending or movement. In my opinion it's probably caused by the packing combined with the shipper/store pulling from a shelf and allowing it to drop to the floor. Hey I used to work at one making less than $9 an hour when I was in college. We didn't care how we handled them, in fact I would bet some enjoyed roughing them up cause they could never afford one. If you locally bought take it back and inspect the next one otherwise try calling sony...

I did not have mine long enough to get to use this option. My usb port like all the portable speakers I have gotten online all seem to get loose & disappear into the unit. I had to return mine 3 weeks into owning it & did not repurchase another one. I am sorry I couldn't be of any help on this & hope if you do buy one you do not run into the same issue. Blessings, Kristie

I bought mine around the same time and didn't have that problem. It's odd that you would receive both with hinge damage. As far as I know it has been fixed. Yes. I hope you get a better replacement.

This happened to ours for a brief moment. I was attempting to turn it off while it was being directly hit with the water, speaker holes up, water went right in. It became fuzzy and I assumed there was water near the speaker. I left it out of the shower over night, and the next time I used it, it worked fine. I do feel like it is possible to get the speaker wet, which I would think, would ruin, or in the very least, distort sound quality.

There are wires in the tube that connect to the panel. They were held by rubber bands on my unit. If you don't see them on yours then they probably fell to the bottom or weren't included (defective). Mine came with a cracked plastic cover so I doubt that there is much quality assurance with this model.

Wooooow. Sorry to hear that. Mine is still holding up well and it was purchased w/a deep discount because it was slightly damaged. Good luck in your quest for answers.

Yes, although it did not fix my problem. In my case, I believe something is wrong inside the speakers.

no. it's not normal. something is loose in the speaker/broken inside, maybe a piece of wood from the speaker and that might be what is moving around. nothing should be moving around inside the speaker box. however, how is the sound? do you hear any crackling? any funny noise? anything out of the ordinary?

Although I have not had that specific problem, I did have to call Underwater Audio twice and was delighted both times with their customer service! I would not be surprised if they sent you a replacement. I actually talk to people about UA customer service as being the absolute best that I have ever encountered so I am very optimistic for you! Let us know the outcome.

I contacted Sony, there were no reports of problems with sound!???? So I pointed out that there were many people having issues, but the only recourse is to send it in under warranty to see if they can fix it - even though it's a design issue, in my opinion.

Forget to mention do not drop the speaker . The first speaker I had like a man at work let me borrow it I was supposed to pay him the next day but he checked out so I got the speaker for free, any way my son dropped it , it didn't work right ever sinc. I had to shake it to get it to play . ( something loosened).

I've had two that I ordered recently and neither of them sounded like they had loose parts. Both have worked flawlessly. I'd send it back for a new one.

When I put mine together I used Gorilla glue along the edges. Made it much sturdier. I have a small stereo with speakers and about 50 CD's on it.

I do not remember having any problems. but I have done a lot of assembling of other items, so either you got a defective part, I got lucky, or it is just practice makes if not perfect, at least easier, but I would suggest calling the manufacturer and get a replacement.

If it is the speaker itself, take it to an authorized dealer and you will get a warranty replacement. You have a one year warranty on it. Go to Pioneers webpage and it'll tell you were an authorized dealer is.

There seems to be a stress point between the hinge and the audio jack. I've experienced severe cracking in this area.
