I was looking for a nice and good sounding Bluethooth Speaker for max. 150 Euro. On You-Tube I came across a lot of good audio tests of different systems. The Sony SRS-X5 has me immediately like visually. Sonically it was also superior to many others. So ordered and with the Bose SoundLink Mini compared to my brother (with "Best of Yello" and "VNV Nation"). The Sony-Box sounds much better, more dynamic, full. Bose SoundLink can keep the bass range yet. But over the remaining frequency spectrum latches the Sony simply clear, clearer and better. Optically my Sony also like better and fits our facility. Although Bose has this great charger and is pretty small, I stayed at the Sony. From me a strong buy recommendation! Tip: If you are looking to such a system quiet time with a good view headphones the audio tests on You-Tube, listen!
