Especially the combination of compactness, quality design, performance, FM tuner and DAB tuner (if having bought), Bluetooth, NFC immediate coupling, USB, brand manufacturers and of course price, I have found nowhere else so.
In addition, it was as non-iPhone owners, important that I get no iPhone dock (and must pay), which I so can not be used.
With these criteria, the Sony system is me da pretty unbeatable, even if it gave reviewers here who behauptetet something there would be a lot better.
At the express demand that because were the better equipment, was unfortunately not really actionable response.
Of course, there may be facilities which are better in detail. But not in this feature combination and not at this price, at least I have found nothing.
(A price worth comparing the way in this system!).
A few words about the features:
DAB: Digital Audio Broadcast, ie a tuner, which, in addition to the "old" FM radio stations and the "new" digital radio can be received.
In principle, a good thing, and only times forward-looking. Provided you do not live in one of the many radio moderate stricken this country.
Unfortunately, the availability of digital radio is rather very, very sluggish ...
So check if necessary times what it looks like with the DAB-availability (which is nothing, because even the best system received nothing). Then decide if the system is purchased with or without DAB, is also a question of price.
Could I ask for something, then I would like an integrated satellite tuner, so how's this by now every TV has.
Without the disadvantages of the old analog FM and not widely available DAB, then would my lots of high quality digital audio programs, delivered free directly from Astra House, are available.
Unfortunately, I have such a thing (yet) found nowhere :-(
Bluetooth and NFC Direct coupling: a really fine thing: instantly play music from your phone through the system:
After one time a Bluetooth connection (pairing) has been established to smartphone (Android)
you can then the system will automatically turn on, turn on Bluetooth and connect to the smartphone,
merely by the smartphone short puts on the marked spot for the Sony plant.
The NFC feature is eg at Samsung smartphones, at least since S3, standard, and you do not even need an app!
Music from your smartphone, that's for sure one of the strengths of the system, and in the case of the operation via the smartphone of course unsurpassed comfortable!
Everything tested with S3, for compatibility with iPhones, I can not comment!
Conclusion: me very good price / performance ratio, highly recommended!
