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

I like this speaker. Good solid Sony sound and does not take up too much space. Nice for a living room or similar area. I use it on Wi-Fi with Chrome casting.

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.

I have used this unit for 3 years and I have to say the reports of sub-par sound are the result of users not reading. The other issue is the router & Internet service they are utilizing. Many people believe Xfinity is satisfactory. In order for this speaker to function the user must have total control of their Wi-Fi settings. I run 2-Sony SRS-3000 & 3-Sony SRS-RA5000's on my 5ghz network. Everything works smooth as butter on my ASUS ZenWiFi AXE1100 Mesh system powered by Verizon FiOS.If they'd downloaded the required Sony Music Center application they could have customized the sound quality to their particular liking. I have gone with the Deezer music streaming service for its high resolution audio and compatibility with Google Home. I have a SRS-RA3000 in both my kitchen and bathroom. When in the kitchen I can request anything I desire on my Google Home mini. When in the bathroom/ showe I can request high resolution music on my Pixel Watch ⌚ controlling both volume and track selection from my watch.

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.

I bought this speaker as a "like-new" refurb from amazon (~$300) to emit bass-heavy whitenoise while I sleep, about a year ago. Speaker is fine, sound quality is pretty good, bass is a bit light for my taste, but a custom equalizer in the sony music app helps, features are good, though the chromecast can be resistant to a connection sometimes (connects after 3 or so attempts)After a few months the plastic framing began to rattle (loudly) when the speaker was above 50% volume. More recently, it has begun to emit a whining high-pitch sound as though one of its internal components is loose, when the speaker is played above 30% volume after around 20 minutes.It still sounds fine for normal music, maybe in the garage, but for its purchased purpose it has actually become a hindrance rather than a sleep-aid. Regrets.
