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 Sony's 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 can't compare
with the likes of the Jabra Solemate or Logitech UE Mobile Boom box in
terms of power and Bass. It's nice for a bedside speaker, but don't expect this
to work as your main sound system.
Sony's 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 doesn't have high expectations,
the Sony SRS BTV5 is a perfect fit.
