The sound is indeed a little quieter and more subdued and therefore not so 'brilliant' as with some competitors - but totally ok and sufficient for a product of this class. We were looking for a replacement for the ugly, rattling ex undercounter kitchen radio, which provides in our bathroom for optional sound. And because the Sony was a prime candidate for the succession. Finally, a not quite as large volume in a bathroom rather an advantage. And if such a design object can not be charged with the phone cable, but a separate charger required, the device also does not disappear suddenly if necessary times to a teen-Treff etc. The announcement for BT connection and a button for the state of charge are nice, though not essential features for me. Because I think the NFC functionality already important and that works well. In addition, the device is splash-proof and looks pretty well what forth. Ultimately, however, we will probably opt for a small Nokia MD-12, which has not the sound quality of Sony, but enough for us for the intended use. And. At about half the price That would be basically the only rather critical point. Namely, that the speakers from the overall package at least 10 euros would be more favorable to be attractive to me. If sufficient me less great sound, I can get cheaper (and smaller) devices. I want better sound, I get the Teilwiese even for the same money or slightly more - more> Logitech UE Mobile Boombox, Nokia JBL Play Up in the offer or, for about 15 euros, the JBL Flip II. Thus, the assessment also covers the whole package and the overall impression is really good without presenting this outstanding details.
