Plenty of portable speaker systems on the market, and we are flooded with plenty of crap. However this Sony unit is just the right size to be portable (245 mm X 185 mm X 88 mm) and looks good, so whats the deal here.
It sports an 3.5m jack as its only means of audio input, which is fine for portable but its a little disappointing the box doesnt have HDMI as well. The power is AC or via 4 x AA battery which we got 16 hours out of a clean set, and 13 out of some rechargeable 2600mAh batteries.
We are glad to say its got a lively, punchy sound which is much better than the others in the same price range - even more so now its just £59.99 (Sony has this listed for £90 on its store) - the dynamic range is enough for a portable unit. We are not looking for all singing all dancing here, just not to sound like a £20 piece of crap, which thankfully it doesnt at all.
The design is great but it does remind us of a handbag which once you see it that way, the image kinda stays with you.
Bluetooth and NFC onboard is fast to connect to and pairs with your handset or tablet quickly.
Highly recommend for a SOHO environment, or maybe the kitchen while youre cooking, you can also take calls on it thanks to its built in mic which does a reasonable job. It does like to pick up background noise though so keep those pots and pans from making any rude interruptions.
Very have this in stock for a reduced £59, perfect for Xmas.
