Sony�s Cool Wireless Speaker

Ultra-portable Bluetooth speakers are becoming increasingly common these days, but leave it to Sony to give us one with NFC technology, solid sound quality and intriguing style in the SRS-BTV5.

This gadget looks like a tennis ball but brings us a cool way to freely stream sound wirelessly as it allows us to play our favorite music or mix and share it. The device has some good features. The top of the speaker has a little symbol you can tap your NFC-enabled smartphone or tablet to instantly pair it. It has a built-in speakerphone button and can take calls hands-free, without losing track of your playlist. The opposite of the Call button sits volume control buttons. It also includes a USB charger that can also charge your phone.

The speaker has Sonys 360-degree Circle Sound audio diffusion technology to deliver music to each and every corner of a room. The device has a decent battery life. According to Sony, it can last for five hours of constant music playing before it needs to be charged.

Sound output is loud, but bass gets distorted when you try playing it at full volume. What the Speaker Ball does do, however, is deliver a solid, clean sound.

The Sony Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker cant compare with the likes of the Jabra Solemate or Logitech UE Mobile Boom box in terms of power and Bass. Its nice for a bedside speaker, but dont expect this to work as your main sound system.

Sonys ultra-portable Bluetooth speaker is appealing for its size and a great design. This easy portability of the Speaker Ball makes it ideal for the on-the-go user who wants just a bit more zip from their laptop or tablet or smartphone experience, delivering a fuller sound than the tinny speakers built into such units. For someone who wants a portable solution and who doesnt have high expectations, the Sony SRS BTV5 is a perfect fit.
