Sony's SRS-BTV5 wireless ball speaker just misses the plate

The Sony SRS-BTV5 wireless Bluetooth speaker has a lot of positives, including a sturdy design and good features like speakerphone and NFC capabilities, but it doesn't beat the competition for the price.

The ; is a sleek and compact ball-shaped wireless Bluetooth speaker that offers a good feature set, including a built-in rechargeable battery, speakerphone capabilities, an auxiliary input, and NFC one-touch tap-to-pair technology.

In terms of sound it fails to distinguish itself from the pack, and the NFC technology proved problematic.

The Sony SRS-BTV5 wireless Bluetooth speaker boasts speakerphone and (iffy) NFC capabilities, but it doesn't beat the competition for the price.

Sony Bluetooth Wireless Mobile Speaker SRS-BTV5

The Sony Bluetooth Wireless Mobile Speaker SRS-BTV5 is small, cleverly designed, and unfortunately low on power output.

Compact. Attractive. Easy to pair.

Weak bass. Tinny treble. Speakerphone feature isn't very loud.

Sony Bluetooth Wireless Speaker SRS-BTV5 [Review]

After having a tour of Sony's various products back at CES 2013 earlier this year in Las Vegas, I felt I needed some of a hands on approach with many of the devices. One of those was the SRS-BTV5 (wireless speaker) which actually doesn't even have an...

Sounds as good as at looks

This is a very well designed and engineered Sony product that not only looks great but also produces a very clear and crisp sound. I keep it on my desk so that I can listen to music and podcasts via the bluetooth feature. It works great with my iPhone,...

Thinking of getting another one!

So I've had this little speaker for about a week. It produces great sound, minus some bass because frankly, it's a small speaker. I didn't give it 5 stars because I had some issues pairing this speaker using NFC, but then found the Sony Easy NFC App in...

Small-ish, Good Battery Life, Good Sound

Not a lot of Bass, volume control is confusing and there aren't many color options
