hey everyone Jimmy with Jim's review room Sony's life space UX is a very niche part of Sony's product lineup I reviewed their $100 LED lamp that doubles as a Bluetooth speaker love the look love the style and the build quality was exquisite and most of Sony's product do look good already but the life space UX feels as though they push one step further for me the pricing is beyond practical but for those who want something unique or can appreciate form and function ingenuity basically the price tag might not be an issue clearly this product is not for the average consumer so with that being said I would like to introduce you to the sony LSP x10 2e 26 also known as the LED bulb speaker the LED bulb speaker is quite subtle they fit into your standard size light sockets they don't need additional power and the bulbs themselves do look very modern as mentioned in its name there's a little speaker on the end of the bulb here and going with little touches to supplement the design you see these sony logo right on the driver now you also get this wireless controller that sits on your table or desk it's all plastic which is unfortunates having some sort of metal casing would have been icing on the cake now the controller is able to increase or decrease in volume while the button up top allows you to pair pause and play the button on the bottom allows you to switch between audio modes either stereo or mono if you have two of these bulbs on at the same time now unfortunately I didn't find there's a way to skip or go back on songs now there is this rotating scroll wheel that allows you to dim your soft white LED the only issue I found with this I appreciate a dimming of the white LED which cast a nice warm color but having the option to change its Kelvin temperature to something lighter or cooler would have been ideal we don't get that the metal button allows you to toggle into color mode using the same scroll wheel you can choose a wide variety of options and there as good as my philips hue bulbs now the colors are very ambient though and not as bright to create or cast a nice glow of color a nearby furniture or walls that's very subtle and although I can control brightness for the whites I can't control brightness for the colors which is a little bit odd now with the song pal app provided by sodium available for both Apple and Android it's the same functions as the controller but I also have preset patterns which can pulsate to the beats to volume or have them go through several colors based on time now the last feature is there is a timer that is available for it to auto off basically ideal for those having the lights and audio going on before bed so jumping into audio performance the Sony speaker does use bluetooth to play music wirelessly I tested this and was able to get up to 56 linear feet before the bulbs started to cut out the Sony speaker gave me a very subtle performance overall almost emphasizing that less is more the audio output is clean and clear though and ideal for more again subtle casual listening at times it's for having ambient music around the house rather than an audio output to jam out to having two speakers pair and plate at the same time does help a decent amount here with the ability to fill up a small room that is but not knocking on this sense the speakers are very tiny and built into the light bulb to be fair but for those who might be considering or interested in buying I just want to give you guys that heads up now my analogy for this product it's like going to a three-star Michelin restaurant to where the dinner is very expensive and one meal could be a one square inch piece of sear tuna nothing big nothing over the top here if anything the emphasis is very small but once you taste it it's subtle but darn good no fancy sauces not over-seasoned but something in its best natural form it's a similar experience with a speaker small elegant very expensive and once you experience it you see it provides clean audio the light source when looked directly at it does look nice and everything offered is safe and again the key word here in this entire review has been subtle clearly this product is not for everyone and for the average consumer there's plenty of other bulbs on Amazon that are significantly cheaper but for those who have the money to spend those value branding named Sony it's a design piece with some functions that would complement your lifestyle and by the way I've never been to a Michelin star restaurant just to clear that up so that's it for this review hopefully it helped you in some way be sure to LIKE and subscribe if you haven't already and I'll catch you guys on the next one bye
