My first impressions on the Sony bluetooth speaker was somewhat negative. I thought that it was too large and I was not impressed with the fact that it isn’t rechargeable. Once I turned it on I was not blown away by the maximum sound volume…. but the more I used the speaker my opinion started to change. I noticed that while it is not the loudest portable bluetooth speaker that I have listened to it is one of the better sounding speakers on the market. And while the speaker is a larger than some of the other speakers – it is very easy to operate.
The one thing that is a bit odd… is that it kinda looks like a purse. This is not a bad thing, but from a distance it really does look a little like a black purse!
Notes-
– Features two front facing drivers that are ported. This allows the speaker to have a very even sound performance and while the bass is not deep it is very clean.
– The sound performance, and while other speaker are louder they use a bright high end to allow for more sound volume. That is not the case with the Sony Bluetooth – it may not not overly deep bass but it also does not overcompensate on the high-end with an overly bright bass. To my ear the Sony has the cleanest overall sound.
– The Sony uses both bluetooth and NFC for pairing with your devices – however, the NFC can only be used with Android devices.
– Is not a rechargeable (uses 4AA batteries or it can be plugged into an outlet) – some people will applaud the fact that it does not rechargeable (because they feel that rechargeable speakers are disposable)….others like having the freedom that rechargeable batteries may give you.
– While it does look a little bit like a purse it does have a unique (and cool) look.
– While the Sony is portable it is too large to fit in a standard backpack… so it perfect for moving around your home or yard it is too large for air travel.
– Works as a speakerphone
Final Verdict – I like the Sony Bluetooth Speaker it has solid sound performance at a very attractive price. If you are looking for the loudest sounding bluetooth speaker this may not be your choice, but if you are searching for something that good sound performance at a decent price then give this one a look.
