Sony SRS-RA3000 360 Reality Audio Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Wireless Speaker, Works with Alexa and Google Assistant, Black

This is an excellent Bluetooth speaker from Sony the music is very clear I play my I tunes music from my Sony NW-505 Walkman and I can adjust the sound to suit my preference.I am surprised how such a small speaker can fill the room with sound I am very pleased with it's performance.

We’ve been using this for several months and it’s my favorite indoor speaker. I’ve always used an Amazon Alexa or the portable speakers from Sonos or JBL to listen to music in the house and this is a huge upgrade. I didn’t know what I was missing!Sound quality is great. I have it linked up to my Alexa and can stream directly with my voice, or I can switch it to Bluetooth mode with the press of a button to stream from my phone. It provides excellent ambient music at levels but can really get cranking when you want to pump it up. It features a “surround” mode that is supposed to make it more immersive however k find it sounds better with that option turned off . I’ve always wanted to get a full surround system set up, but my wife hasn’t approved that for our living room, so this is a great alternative.It also looks great, with a beautiful design. There are some quirks and connection issues with the app, but if you want a single speaker to fill your room with music, you can’t go wrong with this one. You can also hook it up to your tv if you have a Bluetooth enabled steaming device (like fire tv) or a Bluetooth dongle, and it is an upgrade over my Sony sound bar. Simply put, I love this speaker and am considering adding another one to a different room.

This product sounds great. But you can have near three nest audio speakers for the same price with approx. the same sound quality.I appreciate the product but the price appears high compare to competitors.Note: Add your TV soundbar&subwoofer with your chromecast Google TV in a speakers group make an incredible ambiophony experience.

Very expensive speaker considering you don’t get much bang for your buck. Weak and distorted bass no matter what setting you use. 360 feature is gimmicky and not really worth the trouble, and it is trouble to play 360 audio on this devise. 360 feature is not supported natively on most apps. Also, you cannot get Apple Music through Amazon on this device. Connecting AUX cord creates permanent slight buzzing sound that is noticeable at most volume levels when not playing music. I used an Amazon Echo (4th gen. ball) side by side and the Echo sounded so much better in ever way. It just looks boring compared to the Sony. The Sony does look and feel premium, even though it doesn’t sound it.

This speaker was made to take advantage of Sony's 360 Reality Audio experience, but much like Sony's Betamax & Toshiba's HD DVD, it appears that this technology isn't gaining any traction in the music industry. Tidal has pulled it from their platform leaving Amazon Music HD & Deezer as the last two streaming services offering 360 Reality Audio (I believe). So, for the price, and without much opportunity to use the technology it was mainly built for, it is way too pricey. Without 360 it functions ok as a standalone speaker or integrated into an existing surround sound (although if using Bluetooth to connect, the timing might be off unless your other speakers allow audio sync). If you don't plan on utilizing the 360 Reality Audio, I would pass on this.
