The speaker's built-in microphone lets you make hands-free calls whether you're at home or on the go, thanks to the speakerphone feature. With this portable speaker, your favorite music is always wherever you are. Thanks to its integrated rechargeable battery, light weight and compact size, you can easily take it with you wherever you go - whether it's to the lake, to the next barbecue or simply to another room, it's always with you. Use this portable speaker not only for listening to music, but also for hands-free communication with your smartphone thanks to the integrated hands-free function. So you can conveniently take calls without disconnecting from the speaker.

Stiftung WarentestBluetooth-Lautsprecher im Test - Die besten Bluetooth-BoxenReleaseAugust 2022

A powerful bass, clearly audible details and a balanced, lively sound - that's what the perfect Bluetooth speaker should sound like. However, good sound quality is not everything: to become a test winner, a speaker should ideally also be easy to use, have a long-lasting battery and offer practical additional functions...

The small Sony also convinces with a decent and wide sound. However, the maximum volume is very low. It can hardly compete with loud conversations in the immediate vicinity. And the battery life of just over seven hours is, like the Anker, rather mediocre, but okay for such a mini. The reliable controls were better than those of the runner-up.
