Sony SRS-BTS50 review

This compact speaker is feature-packed, easy to use and pleasingly portable

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

The speaker does its best to sound bigger than it is and generally succeeds, although many tracks sounded echoing, with a booming effect that impacted both bass and midrange. There’s a fair bit of bass presence, but this doesn’t overwhelm the midrange or treble. In fact, more subtle treble details could be heard on this speaker than on most comparably sized models. The speaker did best with fairly simple, but clearly-produced sounds: the speaker suited goth, folk bands and modern dance pop, as well as simple acoustic combinations of piano and vocalist. However, the slight echo effect was most noticeable on hip-hop and busy metal tracks.

Sony SRS-BTS50

At £125, this speaker has a great range of features for the price. It’s not as loud as the Cambridge Audio Minx Go, but it’s also much more portable and supports both NFC and aptX. It’s that convenience you’ll be paying for here, rather than outright sound quality. The SRS-BTS50 is light and easy to use, it sounds a little lost in the living room, but is perfect to take to the park.
