About the Sony SRS-X77
An all-occasion speaker
An all-occasion speaker
The understated appearance of the Sony SRS-X77 is deliberate. Its simple form and muted metal grille let it fit in just about anywhere — office, den, kitchen, or living room. And it's portable, so you can take it out to your deck, garage, or patio. And with up to 10 hours of playing time from the ‘X77's built-in rechargeable battery, you can be sure the music will last throughout the day (or night).
The SRS-X77 delivers rich, full sound — even outdoors.
Small cabinet, big sound
Despite its small footprint, the SRS-X77 delivers wonderfully full, spacious sound. The system features two full-range drivers, as well as a built-in woofer with dual passive radiators to really round out the low frequencies. Sony's advanced enhancement mode restores some of the elements that can get lost with compressed music files, including high-frequency response, so your music will sound its best.

Sony has always made great audio equipment and this is no exception. This speakers lines are so clean and the finish is very classy. The sound quality is very good for a speaker this small. It has a full response from the clear bass and mid notes with crystal clear high range.
