When I bought these speakers, I had little expectations of the small "howler ball"
As well as? At this time there was hardly ratings for product and otherwise the number of reviews for Sony speaker was rather sparse.
So I thought, "Well ... we order the thing times when it's not so great, you go back."
When it arrived, however, and I have the tennis ball small ball (yes> großDas design is just great as expected ... Quality, noble, and just ... yes, a design piece.
The simple design is interrupted only by the silver SONY logo and the 3 buttons (volume up, volume and answer).
The base is decorated with a transparent rubber ring which blue and red lights when loading Bluetooth connection.
All in all in all: On Design absolutely nothing to complain about.
One should bear in mind that this ball "goes down" by their size easily on shelves or similar before but - whoever "wants to exhibit" this as a piece of design should first have a suitable platter :)
Now for the most important:
Sound and functionality:
I should say that I have a Sony Xperia T own - what makes it really easy coupling. Howler ball on, hold on to mobile NFC and only briefly on the ball.
After a short vibration and the unique Allow the coupling immediately the last played song is played back at the point where they had left off.
(When my buddy with the Galaxy S3 just pairing via NFC is done, the player must be started manually, I think that only works with Sony devices)
And I was surprised !!
The sound is really great for this little thing ... Very loud (volume can be changed both on the phone and on the ball), and above all very clear! Ups and downs come across well and everything is very good course. No noise, no cracking, no distortion (even at maximum volume)
Each course should be aware that this is not a subwoofer here and therefore no glasses will bring to the clink.
What the ball does, however, is - given the size and the price - very amazing.
What can I say about the battery performance? Well, we say so - I have not yet managed, the ball to empty - 4h constant music at full volume are possible in any case.
For me, the howler ball is definitely one of the best purchases recently.
Attractive, functional, loud, great sound and relatively cheap for a branded product with this performance.
Strong buy recommendation!
