Move your music from room to room
The Sony SRS-X5's simple, attractive design works in practically any room and takes up very little counter or desk space — Sony's counting on the sound to make the big statement. Wirelessly pair the SRS-X5 to your phone or tablet and play music in the living room, kitchen, or office. You can even take it out to the deck. You get a good eight hours of portable play time with the built-in lithium-ion battery fully charged.
Compact design, big sound
Even though it has a small footprint, the SRS-X5 puts out suprisingly full, spacious sound. Sporting a subwoofer with dual passive radiators, the SRS-X5 especially excels on the bass end. To make sure all your music sounds the best it can, Sony's added an enhancement mode to restore some of the elements that can get lost with compressed music files, including high frequency response.
Charge your phone and take that call
If somebody calls while you're listening to music, simply hit the illuminated "phone" button to talk hands-free. The SRS-X5 has a built-in microphone so both you and your caller will enjoy a clear conversation. If your phone is running low on power, plug it into the rear USB port to recharge.
