While we may be a little partial here at ABI to some great sounding headphones paired with a clean sounding DAP on the go, there are surely those times when you just want to share your tunes with everyone around you. Those of us that don't venture into...

I've had two of these for almost a year to replace the SA-NS300s I had. When I first got them, I had them setup for WIFI and one would always cut out. I fixed the problem by using Ethernet. I have Ethernet jacks through out the house. Since firmware...

Many old reviews on here are stating horrible AirPlay performance, however since the last firmware update (I believe from 3/2012) the issues with dropping AirPlay signals have been fixed and it works flawlessly now.

I purchased two of these units a few months ago. Set up was a bit different than I have had to do for other products connecting to my wireless network. The only issues I have had was that I had one unit that would drop the signal after a few minutes....

I was eagerly awaiting the release of this speaker because I liked the design and the possibility of using it as an AirPlay device.

This might come across as harsh to some, but this is by far the worst product I have ever purchased. Leave it up to Sony to make a nice product, only to ruin it where it matters.

Streaming drops after 10-30 minutes. It goes into sleep mode! This is a crippled $300 product right now. Update the firmware before the negative reviews (see, eg, amazon.com) pile up!

Setup was a snap If you read the instructions. Very simple solution to stream music anywhere you want it. Elegant device.

Have been trying to set this up with Mac for hours now -- unable too. The speaker will work for a couple of minutes, bring my entire network down, and then stop working.
