Sony SRS-ZR5 review

  (Rating Hidden)

While once a trusted brand, in recent years we've found Sony products ranging from sublime to shoddy. And its wireless speakers are no different. But it will be hoping that the home multi-room SRS-ZR5 speaker heralds a return to form. See how it got on...

Sony SRS-ZR5

 

The wireless Sony SRS-ZR5 is capable of impressive audio performance for its size—and can pair with another speaker for stereo separation.

Not very user friendly

 

The speakers are fine. The multi room option is difficult to set up and use so I've given up. If you use them as rear surround sound rear speakers and then want to use the for multiroom it takes far to long to set up. Why can you only set up multiroom...
