If Elon Musk had a Bluetooth Speaker - It would be the SONY LSPX-S1 : REVIEW

2017-08-21
hey everyone Jimmy with Jim's review room what I'm showing you today is something unique something that is definitely not the average consumer some can say it's a piece of art some will say it's a contemporary lamp either or this very much encompasses design with function Sony sent over their live space UX project for me to showcase and although this looks like a contemporary lamp it's also a Bluetooth speaker so folks I'd like to introduce you to the new Sony LS px s1 tested and reviewed direct from Sony it is priced at a whopping eight hundred dollars as always I'll leave my affiliate links in the video description click on those links and they'll give you the most updated prices in real time but jumping right into this the glass sound speaker is modern again it's contemporary it's something you might see in Elon Musk's home at the very top you have a very soft and subtle passive bass redditor and aesthetically it blends into the product but when music is going you can see a pulsating through the sound as audio is being pushed up from the speaker down below very similar to the JBL speakers the entire glass enclosure is meant to create this unique modern look and I'll met it does look gorgeous though in person one word of caution be careful how to drop this there's an all aluminum enclosure giving this se a premium look and feel with a nice accent of soft and supple leather now if you look closely about a quarter of the way up you'll notice the cone shape in the middle look under here and you can see the two inch woofer that fires down over that cone that is getting a full 360 degree of audio output to the room my only gripe though with the speaker were the physical volume adjustments and the LED brightness controls that are located under the speaker making it a nuisance to change now you can adjust the function through the sony song tile app from your phone as an alternative but times you don't have your phone near you you gotta flip this glass speaker to its side the LEDs are indeed unique in their own way so they cast a finely-tuned soft light here resembling a glow from a candle or a lantern in this I mean Adam Thomas dark stairway thinking it was the best way to show off sony's glowing light but in the end i thought it was cheesy I said let's not waste any footage so here you guys have it but all seriousness you can see it's not meant to light up a room but if anything meant to accent an area an element it looks soothing smooth calm elegant in a sense - but let's get back to the studio here now going behind that speaker there's your power input three half millimeter port for physical connections and the power and pairing button to the far right there is a built-in veteran lasting only up to four hours though and then there's other features does it get them out the way it's NFC or near field communication there's L DAC audio encoding to support higher resolution audio files and you're also able to double up or have two of these glass Bluetooth speaker lamps here play at the same time now wireless range was tested with my daily phone at the moment the Samsung si+ and I was able to achieve 58 linear feet with one wall in between so - the moment you've been waiting for how does a $800 beautiful sony lamp sound I'll play separate samples for you guys and then I'll give you my verdict afterwards nothing hey when I take your findings have you pass the ball pass down they don't wanna run but you can't I didn't know who you were and there you have it folks Sony's life space UX does emphasize every sounding mid-range with my test the auto characteristic is either very balanced to at times pretty tame the best Janna's for the speaker is classical jazz and other such as John was strong and instrumental and vocal work the mid-range is clean there's no question about that offering a very easy to listen to very smooth experience but it is missing detail and resolution now bass is very similar as well it's quite flat or neutral mostly due to its small size and there is quite a bit of roll-off that prevents the speaker from making sharp piano notes the cymbal crashes stand out now this speaker is not meant to personally jam out - not necessarily for entertaining or filling up a room with audio the speaker does lack a bit of color and it's all your signature to make it spin out for the price tag it does elude me to expect something spectacular but I did find it falling short the practical side of me says for $100 there's many other better options out there even speakers at the 100 to $150 price range but my artistic side modern contemporary designs out of me the aesthetics I love this thing and can appreciate it in that respect guys down below let me know in the comment section what do you guys think of this I see this in an architect's home an engineer a designer but for an audiophile or even someone just simply looking for good audio there's better options out there cheaper as well so that's it for this review again I'm Jimmy with jims review room and I'm here to help you make that purchase decision you guys take care and I'll see you on the next one hi you
