I'm not completely satisfied with the product.

Some pros: Appearance, build quality, the ability to charge from the column Cons: There is no possibility of charging via usb (only from the original PSU), glossy surfaces quickly lose their appearance. Compared to JBL Flip 4, mediocre sound and low volume headroom.

Revainrating 4 out of 5

No minuses as such, comfortable to use.

From correspondence about mobile acoustics with my friend: "By the way, I listened to mobile acoustics, a week ago. SONY. I really liked the srs-x5 speaker, much better than your small bose. I thought about buying, and then I accidentally turned on Jackson Billy Jean - and there the bass gives such a tricky rhythm - the speaker starts to grunt disgustingly on it Cant - did not buy. Although it would seem in the song Bad the bass is brighter and more powerful, but it plays cleanly on this…

Pros
  • Pleasant, juicy, surround sound. Loud and powerful for its size.
Cons
  • A snag was found in the bass reproduction on Jackson's song - Billie Jean. And on the SRS-X7 (which is larger and more expensive) the same jamb. Only the flagship Sony SRS-X9 plays cleanly, but it is no longer mobile and costs blue money.

I chose acomlumn for a long time, listened to tests on YouTube (they quite allow you to evaluate the nature of the sound! ), Read reviews and tests. I am happy with the purchase, despite all my knowledge, the speaker impressed me, I use it with pleasure when I want to listen to music. The bestcomlumn up to 15 thousand. Recommend. someone in the reviews wrote that you can change the sound quality by choosing a bettercomdec, I didn’t immediately find it, but I haven’t checked it yet, but i'll…

Pros
  • -Great sound, you don't expect such a high-quality and solid sound from a small stylish box (from the battery and from the mains, the difference is not significant) -Excellent design -Price-quality ratio -NFC is a really handy thing -Sound - a function that changes the sound balance, very useful for some genres of music. At medium to low volume for some songs, mostly instrumental, there may be too much low frequencies, this function emphasizes the high frequencies, and makes the sound more detailed and light. -Possibility of recharging the player or smartphone from the speaker.
Cons
  • -Lots of song switching buttons -Touch buttons match the style, but you can't press it by touch. -I didn’t figure out how to answer the phone call, quickly, without turning off the speaker, without breaking the connection and so that the conversation would not be broadcast. In general, the disadvantages pale in comparison with the advantages.

Mediocre goods, most likely I will not use.

For home it's ok. But, then, the presence of a built-in battery is not entirely clear. For traveling, the SRS-X3 or even the SRS-X2 would be better. Has pros: High quality and rich sound. There are tracks that play more correctly than on the existing large unit of the same Sony. Surprisingly. USB port for smartphone charging. Some cons: It will not work as a portable: when disconnected from the network, it immediately loses a third of the volume and frankly "stalls" at medium and high. Plus…

The product is unreliable, it is not worth buying.

At first, the column worked as it should. Music at medium volume from the battery for about 9 hours. The sound for this size and price is pleasant. A month later, due to vibrations, the sidewall fell off. After 5 months, problems with the battery began. The speaker can stand on charge all night and not charge. The charging indicator is constantly on when connected via a power supply. Taking into account the fact that the speaker was used only in the living room, without going out into the…

Pros
  • Small size, decent sound.
Cons
  • Touch buttons are inconvenient, there is no "feedback" when pressed. There is no possibility to work with different bluetooth sources. Build quality.

Good and quality product, but there are flaws.

Excellent strict design and good build quality are combined in a strange way with the youth orientation of the sound of this column. With a slight exaggeration, this column can be called a boom box. Low frequencies noticeably predominate over medium and, especially, over high frequencies. The bass can be described more as thumping and humming, lacking elasticity, speed and detail. The "Sound" button slightly corrects the situation. Choosing to prioritize sound quality over connection stability…

Pros
  • - excellent appearance, very good build quality; - powerful bass.
Cons
  • - lack of high frequencies and their detail.

Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

I will definitely look for a “warmed up” Bose and compare the quality. Although it is difficult to compare - Bose is a product of a different price category and you need to understand what you are buying - both speakers are undoubtedly worth their money - Sony turned out to be a massive and inexpensive product, Bose has more designed for music lovers. With its pros. Playback quality! Initially I came to buy SoundLink III, but I decided to listen to how other systems sound. Bose sounds good, but

Helpful tips (from personal experience): 1. It is more pleasant to listen at a small distance (at least 2-3 meters). In this case, it evenly fills a small room (kitchen) with sound. 2. Use high-quality recordings - MP3 at least 320 kb with a constant bitrate or lossless codecs. The difference is noticeable. 3. The column has the ability to switch the quality of the Bluetooth mode - a higher quality codec with a less stable connection or a lower quality codec with a more stable signal. Be…

Pros
  • 1. Great sound for such a small size and cost. Not HiFi, but very, very worthy. The bass is not buzzing, but of sufficient quality, clear, elastic, although sometimes it seems a bit excessive (depending, among other things, on the location of the speaker in the room). The sound is one of the best in its category. It was possible to compare the entire shelf with similar devices in the store. 2. Can work from the network with a permanent connection. When working from the network, the sound is noticeably more powerful. For me, this is a plus, because. this device is rather for those who only occasionally need to take it with them, and most of the time it sits in the room as a designer "radio point", making a nice rich sound. When disconnected from the mains, the batteries hold about 6-8 hours at medium volume. 3. Design. I love SONY design in general and this thing in particular. 4. All phones and tablets connected absolutely without problems. It's strange that others have problems. If the smartphone has an NFC chip, it is enough to bring it to the speaker in search mode so that they immediately connect via Bluetooth. 5. AptX support.
Cons
  • 1. Does not support simultaneous connection of multiple Bluetooth devices (like some competitors). To connect a new one, you need to disconnect from the previous one. Although it stores up to the last 8 devices in memory (that is, when connected, you do not need to "pair" in a new way), which is already good. 2. At maximum volume, the sound remains clear up to the maximum, but the proportion of bass is reduced. Therefore, it is better to listen at low and medium volume, because. there the sound is perfectly balanced, and for a disco, look for some kind of "boombox" more powerful. But this is more of a feature than a drawback. 3. On complex recordings (a lot of instruments, a sharp change in volume), the flaws of digital signal processing are too felt, the sound is mixed into a mess. I don't know what else to complain about at this price.

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

I love jazz, blues, blues-rock, and all that, so with this miracle I listen and get great pleasure. For a long time I chose something suitable for my ZR, so I decided that SONY could not be better for SONY. What absolutely no regrets. Brought it home, turned it on, zakonektil with the help of NFC at the moment. At the beginning, I listened without even understanding the instructions, everything seems to be fine. But suddenly I found the SOUND button, by pressing it I was pleasantly surprised…

Pros
  • The SONY design, I have it with a red grille, looks very soulful. Great sound in such a small box. The declared 8 hours work 100%. You can charge your cell phone.
Cons
  • I don't know what to complain about. And in connection with the current shocks of the, I took it for 6700, so the price is a solid advantage;)

The quality is at the highest level, be sure to try it.

That feeling when you have never written a review and decided. To anyone who doubts buying, my advice is - take it, it's worth it. I doubted for a couple of months, went to the store 2 times, connected to it, everything is fine. A big plus is mobility due to the battery. Several times I took her to the country, to nature, played table tennis in the yard under the music. A lot of people saw it and everyone appreciated the volume and sound. I often connect it to the TV while watching movies and…

Pros
  • Sound quality. Mobility.
Cons
  • not yet found

The perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

The best portable speaker ever! BOSE is much more expensive and quieter and holds a charge less, and the advantage of a smaller size does not really matter, because what's the difference what is in your bag? No one will wear them in their hand anyway. Harman/Kardon Esquire - much more expensive and disgusting sound and complete lack of bass! All others are not competitors at all.

Pros
  • Everybody! The sound is great and loud! Design. I took it in red and the combination with black looks very good Can be used as a battery for other devices Has an AUX input 8 hours of charging
Cons
  • The sound is slightly reduced when the charging is not connected, but this has little effect in practice. Enough for the street, but in any house there is an outlet

I definitely recommend buying, I didnt notice any disadvantages.

Awesome thing! I am delighted. I never thought portable speakers could do that. The most important thing for me is the real presence of deep bass (!), because. I mostly listen to hip-hop. The rest of the frequencies are also in order, I tested it for a long time on different tracks. I took it based on 4 reviews here on the market. Usually I don’t write any reviews, but then I remembered that such an amazing thing has only 4 reviews and could not resist writing. Take boldly!

Pros
  • Sound! Design, weight (and weight is reliability;)).
Cons
  • not found

A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

I entered the world of portables recently, when the JBL charge appeared. The sound for its cost is ok, but for those who want a small size, it is better to consider the Sony ars x3 - the sound is surely better. Later, I accidentally saw a Sony x5 subject, could not resist and listened . I immediately realized that it was time to ate my JBL - the sound level in general and specifically the amount of bass were decided instantly :) I started to analyze the market on the Internet, listened to…

Pros
  • I approached the choice of portable acoustics, as well as other sound solutions, with all seriousness, having analyzed in detail all portables in the price range from 6,000 to 18,000 (starting from 10,000 just for comparison of characteristics :) Here are the sure advantages that I have identified for myself: - 100% hit price-quality - stylish appearance - fits perfectly into the interior (I have white color) - the battery holds for 5 points - the declared 8 hours of musical enjoyment - chic bass - fans of the "lower" will be satisfied - NFC - convenience and only convenience - the overall musical impression is only positive - Sony continues to delight with very high-quality acoustic products at very attractive prices
Cons
  • - a feature of the line is that the sound of the speaker when connected via an electric network is louder than from a battery. Not better, but louder. This feature is written in the reviews (I recommend reading), but for me it’s not a minus, rather a feature that is better to know about before buying than to discover. - with increasing volume, the amount of bass that is present at a volume of up to 50% decreases. To be honest, at low "speeds" the bass is very enough, and when I sometimes make the portable louder, a new interesting sound appears, which makes listening somehow special every time. Again, this is more noticeable when working from the built-in battery in order to save its resource at elevated levels. From the network everything is buzzing. I note that for me these features were the main barrier, after the lapse of time I do not regret the acquisition, only pluses are noticeable.

The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

I used it for several days, for a total of 3 hours indoors and about 4-5 hours outdoors, with maximum volume. I'm surprised it still doesn't require recharging, so the claimed 8 hours of battery life is real. I like the sound quality, the presence of bass, and the fact that you can put the speaker anywhere, thereby choosing the most comfortable sound. For a room of 20 m2 is enough for the eyes. Everything works clearly and quickly, the connection does not break, the sound volume is controlled…

Pros
  • Sound quality and volume, workmanship and appearance, portability, optimal size-weight-sounding time ratio, the ability to charge mobile devices from the speaker itself and, of course, the absence of wires.
Cons
  • The absence of a case, the price and I would like a built-in player with support for SD cards . well, then the radio would not hurt to the heap, although it is clear that this device is of a slightly different class :)

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

Today I bought this device . I have a Sony z1compact, it connected very quickly. According to reviews, I read about the sound quality and volume, although the speakers are not large at first glance, I was surprised, to be honest! From the purchase will not dissuade! I took it myself and I don’t regret . respect to the developers ! something like this)))

Pros
  • Sound, build quality, volume . in short, a bomb !
Cons
  • Looking for.

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

I actively use it while traveling. A chic sound spreads over a summer cottage of 20 acres, even in the house the bass is heard. The battery is honest, enough for 7-9 hours + the ability to quickly charge external devices. I can’t say anything in comparison with other models and companies, since for me this is the first and only experience with such equipment so far, but I myself have been very satisfied for almost a year now. I don't regret buying

Pros
  • Excellent design under HiTech. Good auto-tuning of the sound depending on the volume, there was never a filter misfire and the speaker crackled. Quality build. Good battery. Reliable.
Cons
  • Maybe my hands are crooked, maybe my equipment is somehow not the same, or a jamb in the column itself. The asus tablet on Windows 8.1 completely refused to be friends with her, considering it enough to stop at pairing. Phones with a relatively old bluetooth protocol simply do not see it. I agreed to contact lumia 1520 and infocus m810 only via nfc, but it works very well, I'm satisfied with the sound

Great product, a pleasure to use.

I advise those who move a lot, work on shifts for example. Who needs portable acoustics, which is always with you. Recommend! Has pros: I'm just delighted! The sound is pleasing to the ear! For such dimensions, the device sounds very cool! Pros, the quality of the product itself, battery life, eight hours, that's a whole day. It connects with a bang, with a smartphone and with a laptop, when you turn it on again, it immediately sees the device and connects to it without any questions. When…

I am happy with everything, the product matches the description.

Fully charged in 4 hours, plays at medium volume for about 8 hours. You can recharge phones, tablets, etc. Excellent work with NFC connected with Samsung 4.4 Andryusha, with Sonya, with Alcatel, with the Asus tablet, everything is without problems. Bluetooth keeps up to 10 devices in memory (in any case, I have 7 for sure) In general, I am very satisfied, up to 7 thousand is ideal. P. S I don’t believe who says that Bose mini sounds better than this Sonya))))

Pros
  • SOUND. I did not expect such a sound from such a small speaker. As soon as I connected it to the smart (Sony Z2), I sat for an hour and a half and could not tear myself away from such a sound. Before that, there was a JBL Charge, so I wanted to compare and describe the feeling. But I will not do this because these are completely different weight categories, just DIFFERENT and that's it. Anyone who likes a clean and powerful sound, I advise you to take it without hesitation. She works out her money (I took it for 6 tr) for all 200%. Compared it with her Panasonic music center, which cost almost 10 mowers, at medium volume Sonya sounds definitely not worse. Excellent elastic bass, middle, top, everything sounds nothing not failed, very clean and powerful. In general, I advise everyone, if you want to read more reviews, go to Amazon, there are many interesting reviews.
Cons
  • There are two small downsides: 1. There is no button for blocking buttons from accidental pressing (HOLD) 2. It is charged through its cable, it is not charged via USB. More and more minuses did not notice.
