I spent a long time travelling for work in 2014, sometimes spending 3 weeks out of four in hotel rooms far from home. This seemingly small speaker can produce a surprisingly rich sound and make your hotel room that little bit more personalised. Pairing up to a phone or laptop with a playlist can make evenings just that bit more tolerable without resorting to (or as well as) raiding the minibar out of boredom. I also prefer to sleep with a white noise sleep therapy track playing. This unit performed the task with no problem. With it's built in microphone, it's a great speaker phone that you can even use when video calling from a laptop. In some cases people commented that the audio coming through from microphone was tinny and hollow, but that feedback was not consistant. Other's said it sounded fine.

I bought the SRS-BTV5 wireless speaker couple of weeks ago and the moment i connected it with my phone{iPhone 5} it delivered a clear,crisp and consistent sound all around the room.This tiny speaker is very capable of delivering awesome sound quality as well handling calls over BT/NFC which other speakers are not.The In-built rechargeable battery,mic,led indicators and even a 3.5mm plug makes it more reliable and useful in various conditions.Modestly,quality wise it's superb not like cheap plastics and design of the speaker is very attractive.According,to it's size,performance and the ease of use,all of them makes this speaker exceptional and I would really recommend it.I appreciate SONY for its innovative design and wish them success from the depth of my heart.KEEP IT UP SONY:-)

Great speaker with a great sound, best portable speaker I've ever bought.
