Elegant design and sturdy build ; Loads of streaming features ; Nicely balanced sound with punchy bass and clear detail ; Easy to set up and use

Lacks excitement ; Narrow listening area ; Expensive

Sony SRS-X88 review

 

A talented wireless speaker bursting with features and a powerful, weighty sound...

Spacious and detailed sound ; Good amount of bass weight ; Potential for multi-room use

Lacks some body and warmth to mid-range – especially vocals ; Falls short of competitors rhythmically

You'll know when someone's switched on a Sony SRS-X88; it has a sound befitting its muscular stature.

Best electrical item in my home

 

Lovey speaker, had two years now sounds great, works from my phone and connects easy, have two so I can play them both together in different rooms, if they ever break would buy again, definitely worth the price

SONY SRS-X88B Wireless Smart Sound Multi-Room Speaker

 

Well designed and well made product - of course it's Sony. Good sound quality and like up to other parts of my system.

Read reports about perils of software updating - have resisted the temptation to take the plunge.
