Sony SRFV1BT Portable Bluetooth Speaker with Am/FM Radio

I bought this in order to give it as a present to my mother, who is really fond of listening radio even while sleeping. It tunes finely AM and FM stations. The Bluetooth connection has worked fine for me when pairing the device to our smart TV, my laptop or my smartphone.Until now, its battery has behaved finely, leaving no room to doubt about its performance. A few relatives have praised this speakers' performance and I highly recommend it. It would be brilliant if this device would have wi-fi connection , the closest one can get that being connecting a smartphone to the Internet and then pairing said phone to the speakers, but as it is right now it's really fine.It consists of two twin stereo speakers embedded within a wooden case, they may sound a little muffled maybe due to its bass but to me this is sort of a little flaw.UPDATE: More than a year later and this product keeps being OUTSTANDING. Highly recommended.

I was looking for a simple FM radio maybe with AUX or BT in for other devices. I almost purchased Tivoli iPal as I had one previously and loved the sound. Oh a whim I clicked the “compare with similar items” on Amazon’s check out page and this item was lists. It had a few more features plus a lithium battery so I took a chance and switched my order. Love it! So far, it’s all pros. Simple to operate, great sound, receives more stations than other radios. Even has a clock and wake to music feature. I like to listen to music at home, but am tired of streaming and wanted live radio. This fit the bill perfectly, I am very please. Will take it camping next week and see how the battery life is.

Plays AM stations just fine, nice and clear, on at least the ones I listen too. I was concerned about static based on some other reviews. No issues. FM band is perfect. Bluetooth, so nice. iPhone 5S would NOT connect at first..so I actually read the manual, and I was doing it wrong. There is a specific procedure to follow at first, but After the initial connection was established it now recognizes my phone right away every time!Has a Headphone jack and has the small “audio in” jack in the back. Runs on wall outlet or on the internal rechargeable battery, no issues. I mostly use it just plugged in. Unit is very stable on the table top, no tipping over or anything like that.Has adjustable back-light in the LCD screen. Clock, time, alarm. Very handsome finish, black faux wood upper, looks much better in person than in the picture.I wish it was louder. Has a digital volume control from 0-30. 0 being muted and 30 being maximum volume. In the 1-10 volume range you cannot even hear sound, so that is not very smart. I listen to it in an industrial environment with a fair amount of background noise. I have to keep it set around the 26-27 setting to effectively hear it. Would be nice to have a little louder speaker volume output. However, It does have Separate Bass and Treble adjustments which I am a big fan of. All in all nice little radio.

This product sucks. I just bought it like 3 months ago and the bluetooth stopped working for no reason. It won’t connect to my phone at all which sucks because I use my phone for internet radio because the FM receiver is very weak. I tried resetting it, I tried resetting my phone and I tried a completely different phone. Its just cheap garbage. Also the sound quality isn't that great. I did like the display and the size was nice for a desk at work.

First off the battery on this thing is seriously impressive. 4-12 hour shifts and taking this on vacation and it’s still on its first charge (only used 1/3 battery). The radio works very well (I work in a small steel walled room inside a steel manufacturing building and it picks up amazing). I do wish the Bluetooth connectivity was easier. It connects to my iPhone very quick but I can’t get it to connect to my wife’s iPhone at all.

In some ways, this is one of the best clock-radio-bluetooth speaker products I've ever used. It looks great. The feature set is nearly ideal. The controls are very intuitive. It has most if not all the connections you would want for a device like this and the Bluetooth works fine. Battery life seems to be good too. It even has a nice big clock with an adjustable backlight that stays on (how many times have you wished for that on a radio?). However, the primary function of this device is to be a radio and an audio speaker, and that's where it really doesn't shine. First of all, there just isn't anything engaging about the sound quality. It's not that it sounds harsh or boomy - it just sounds really middling and lifeless - like they weren't really trying very hard in the audio department. Secondly, while the FM band sounds relatively decent, the AM tuner (what I listen to the most) sounds extremely low bandwidth (i.e.: very rolled off in the highs). It's like they're using the narrowest filter they can get away with without losing all intelligibility. I've heard $20 radios that sound better on AM.Honestly, I really wanted to like this radio, but it just doesn't do it's main job well enough to enjoy or recommend. That's kindof sad because there are alot of products that aren't designed as well as this one in terms of features and user interface. Seems like Sony needs to get their sound quality team working with the team who made this. Then they might really have something!

Our daughter loves listening to the radio in her room. The sound quality is good. We haven’t tested the battery life or Bluetooth connectivity. We use the sleep timer on it nightly and the display has 3 different brightness settings which is helpful to switch between day use and nighttime use.

Bought for my husband for Christmas. It was just what he wanted to use in his shop. His phone synced right up to it. The sound quality is extremely good. Nice small size that doesn't take up a lot of room and sounds good as well. Recommended.
