hey everyone this is Jimmy from Jim's review room welcome to another review today we'll be looking at one of Sony's new lineup of Bluetooth speakers the one I have here is the $200 SRS x5 with the X 7 and X 9 being $300 and Halabi $700 respectively we'll see if the cheapest out of the three is still good enough to war a purchase so without further ado we'll get started although its objective the first time I saw the speak on rats I was quite impressed the sides feature brushed aluminum the very top is a beautiful gloss black finish despite being fingerprint from and both the front and back is an aluminum mesh grille the unit is a bit thick though assuming that these speakers are more for moving around the house rather than bring it to the park when compared to other Bluetooth speakers measurements come in at eight point eight inches wide four point eight inches high and exactly two inches thick and sony claims this weighs in about two and a half pounds but when I hold my sound link to from Bose which claims to weigh more Sony actually feels a little bit heavier though I don't have a micro scale so I couldn't test but in general I don't foresee myself bringing this to the beach or my family trips now for a 200-dollar speaker the x5 comes in with some very good features that you don't see on some other speakers available at the very top you have sophisticated touch sensitive buttons with classy glowing white LEDs the power and speakerphone but on the far right are the only two that are physical volume buttons are standard with no skip reverse or pause buttons unfortunately audio n is used when you want to physically connect your speaker with your audio source pairing is used for wireless Bluetooth connections and to the left of that is a sound button for clear Audio plus now more than that sound quality a bit later and of course a charge indicator but no light to indicate how much battery is remaining until the very far left here you'll see a Near Field Communication logo which means any phone or tablet you have with NFC capabilities you can pair a device with a speaker just by tapping your device there there's no need of going through your Bluetooth settings now rotating to the rear another feature that started to show and the latest speakers is a charge out port you can connect your USB phone or tablet charger here and the x5 will charge your device next as stated earlier is a three-and-a-half millimeter input for your physical audio in and lastly support for the supplied wall charger and speaking of power and batteries sony claims up to eight hours of news and I've personally tested this and left it at fifty percent value from a full charge and the unit dot F there seven hours and 57 minutes not bad at all so with premium build qualities and materials and some features that are not available at some other speakers how does it sound what I'll do to critique and demo the unit I'll play several songs and give you my verdict afterwards it's all my baby we don't mind all the watching cuz it deciding close windows they might learn something nothing but a little to do it he does it York so far I'm a living oh yeah and I'm a sick of being a good night while I'm on my giggling while I'm drinking Bud Light huh can you get it when you miss me like I'm with whiskey drink Jim Beam hey baby do you do we do it that way but you do that did you take a break you noted on the beach when I kill it on the beach like a six on the beach like it's Malibu chase you see the California way to go with their babies even californica like we all man I stir and there you have it folks all the artist information is found in the video description below now sound of course is best heard in person and we're playing through your speakers it's not the best depiction of audio quality now hence my review here listening to John Rose like hip-hop rap and pop all did very well there's enough balanced bass to have the sound experience enjoyable and of all Bluetooth speakers I've reviewed so far the bass response of this x5 is on par with the Bose Soundlink a very balanced approach where it doesn't drone out other audio frequencies and for this price range of $200 it's very good bass the mid-range across the audio spectrum focuses on vocals and areas where the average ear determines if it's good audio or not there's no droning and the clarity is there for singers and string instruments like guitar and violin because of F there's a decent amount of fidelity and immersion into your music and the same can be said for the highs listening to EDM house techno all did very well considering with electronic music there's many variables playing at the same time in which the sound can be a little bit muddled however the highs stay strong and acute without droning or ear ring tennis throughout and as I mentioned earlier about the clear Audio plus my tests found that the mids and highs are pushed a little bit more forward and sounded clearer than having the option off so for $200 I think it's appropriately well priced with its quality in both audio and in its physical build plus having some features that are not seen on some other Bluetooth devices and if you're at this price range the x5 after doing so many reviews here is a really good buy so be sure to comment below and tell me what you think about this speaker and for those who are considering of purchasing this I hope that helped you in some way and as always be sure to subscribe to my channel for more content and like or follow me on my
