Review of the Sony SRS-X11 portable speaker. Portable speaker Sony SRS-X11 Black Reviews of sony srs x11 red

Review of Sony SRS-X11, the most compact wireless speaker in the Japanese company's portfolio. This model is distinguished from others not only by its size, but also by its unusual design, which makes this speaker unlike its competitors.

Equipment:

  • Column
  • Blister packaging
  • Rubber strap
  • USB charging cable

Sony SRS-X11 Specifications:

  • Output power -10 W
  • Frequency range - 20-20,000 Hz (44.1 kHz sampling rate)
  • Data transmission technology - Bluetooth 3.0, NFC
  • Operating time: up to 12 hours
  • Dimensions - 6.1 x 6.1 x 6.1 cm with a weight of 215 grams
  • Colors - white, black, turquoise, red

Appearance

The Sony SRS-X11 wireless speaker has a distinct SonyStyle design. Indeed, somewhere, and in such a category as audio devices, Sony engineers and designers have never hesitated to show their skills in creating truly stylish devices.


The Sony SRS-X11 is a perfect cube with beveled corners. The device chassis is made of polycarbonate, which provides the necessary strength and rigidity of the structure.

Three of the six edges of the speaker body are covered with metal grilles, behind which the speakers are hidden. The remaining edges are made of plastic with a “Soft Touch” coating, velvety and soft to the touch. This coating, by the way, collects dust and fingerprints, but not very much.



At the top are almost all of the Sony SRS-X11's control elements: the on/off/reset button, volume change and call answer buttons. For this purpose, the speaker has a built-in microphone.


At the back of the speaker there is an ADD button, which is needed to create a network of speakers for this model, Reset, AUX and microUSB connectors for charging.


On the bottom edge of the device you can find light indicators that should tell the user all the necessary information - the charging process, the status of the Bluetooth connection, which channel the speaker is in (if it is paired).



The delivery set includes a silicone strap, which is made in the color of the speaker. To mount it on the Sony SRS-X11 body, there is a groove with a loop on the bottom edge. A convenient thing for various kinds of activities, for example, you can attach such a strap to a backpack or hang it on the handlebars of a bicycle.




Sony SRS-X11 is available in 4 main colors - black, white, red and mint. The last color, in my opinion, is the most interesting.


The musical gadget is pleasant to hold in your hands, due to its small size, weight and well-chosen materials. It feels like a monolithic cube made of very high quality.


Music and sound quality

The sound quality of the Sony SRS-X11 can be called sufficient, because for ultraportable devices there is only very bad or normal. The Sony music cube has normal sound, the volume level is quite enough for listening to music at home.


10 W is, of course, not much, but it’s enough for a room of 15-20 meters. Of course, if you don’t want to have a noisy party, then the volume will obviously be too low.

Good detail (for a speaker of this format), music does not turn into a jumble of sounds.

I think that the undemanding majority of users will be completely satisfied with this sound quality. And whoever doesn’t, of course, will never buy a music cube weighing 200 grams and speakers with 10 W of power.

Sony has a large line of Bluetooth speakers, among which there are gadgets that are very advanced in terms of sound. There is plenty to choose from, take at least the SRS-XB3, which is capable of “playing out” any room in such a way that it won’t seem too small.

At CES 2017, Sony announced a new line of portable audio devices, including the SRS-X11 receiver, which will certainly be cooler in many respects, including moisture resistance. But while it is not there, the device under review will be one of the best solutions for your money (the average price in the Yandex market at the time of writing the review is about 3,200 rubles).


Ease of use in the form of an NFC sensor and control buttons add points to the SRS-X11 in favor of its choice over products from other brands. Not to mention the excellent operating time and small dimensions, which is why you can take the speaker with you anywhere - trips, vacations, hikes, etc.

In general, for those who need this, you can take it and not invent it. The sophisticated public may pass by.

I've been with Sony for a very long time, and I can no longer listen to anything other than their devices. The sound is incomparable: clean, moderate bass, good highs without lowering the lows.
The big minus is the price, but this is not a complaint against Sony. In my opinion, it should cost around 2 thousand, but as soon as I took it in my hand, I completely forgot about the price - it is so beautiful and pleasant to the touch that you immediately forget about the cost. The sound is as good as usual.

Advantages:

Clear and loud sound.
+ Nice soft-touch body and buttons.
+ Good autonomy for this size.
+ Stereo mode for two speakers.
+ AUX connector for cable connection. Often this is not the case on BT speakers.

Flaws:

The included hand loop is very narrow, so you can wear the speaker on your fingers, but this is rather a nitpick.

Period of use:

less than a month

    The first impression is shocking, how so much bass and sound can be crammed into a cube smaller than a Rubik's cube. The test composition, as always, was Pink Floyd / Dark side of the moon / Breathe and the cube did not choke even at full volume. I am satisfied and do not regret a single ruble spent

    Advantages:

    Impressive appearance, high-quality plastic, ergonomic layout of controls and indicators, ideal sound for its size, decent autonomy and convenient full charging time

    Flaws:

    I hope I don't find out

    Hello. They gave the column as a gift for March 8th. The device quickly became friends with all gadgets. Small, comfortable, beautiful thing, fits perfectly into the interior. The sound is high quality, the ability to receive calls is a convenient feature. The battery does not drain very long. I didn't think such a small thing could bring so much pleasure. I am very pleased with the gift. Thanks SONY!

    Advantages:

    Compactness, high-quality and loud sound, speakerphone

    I compared it with other speakers from other companies, the quality was a level lower than that of this model, even larger copies did not produce sufficient sound
    In general, I didn’t expect anything less from Sonya!

    Advantages:

    Great sound and volume
    Compactness
    Exterior design
    Possibility of calls
    NFS

    Flaws:

    An FM radio and a slot for a flash drive wouldn’t be superfluous, but that’s how it was intended

    I did not study at conservatories, therefore I do not have a unique hearing. For me the sound is simply amazing. Outside the city, on a picnic or just on the beach - you don’t need more. For a company of 5-6 people, excellent musical accompaniment. If one of your friends has the same one, then by combining their efforts you will get a really good speaker system

    Advantages:

    Compact size, pleasant to hold in your hand, sound like three quantums.

    Flaws:

    I haven't discovered it yet

    Period of use:

    Even despite the minor cons, I give it a 5.

    Advantages:

    This acoustics is very good and I immediately liked it. It attracts with its design, convenient location of the keys, and its shape. The most important thing is very excellent sound and bass. You wouldn't think there is such power in such a small box. The battery lasts a long time. I'm happy with everything.

    Flaws:

    I wish there was a small screen to clearly see the functions. And a small minus is the mesh on the acoustics, it gets scratched. We need to be more careful.

    Great choice for this price! Ideal at home or on vacation. You can buy an additional 3.5-3.5 mm AUX cable and listen to the radio from your phone.

    Advantages:

    For such a small speaker the sound is excellent! The design is also excellent, one of the nicest audio systems in this price segment. If you have a smartphone or tablet with NFC, you can connect to the speaker in a matter of seconds, but Bluetooth works just fine without it. Holds charge for a long time. I was also very pleased with the wide selection of colors :)

    Flaws:

    The main disadvantages relate to the packaging: the USB-micro USB cord is not long, but I have been noticing this problem with Sony for several years now. The “plug” is not included in the kit, but now almost everyone has the same ones, with USB ports, so in principle it will work with any gadget. The cord for the hand is quite small, perhaps for a lady's hand. At maximum volume there may be a little wheezing, but this is almost unnoticeable.

    When choosing a portable system, I didn’t have to choose for a long time, since I have been a fan of Sony for a long time, and the fact that I am a user of a Sony smartphone played an important role, and compatibility of the same brand is always better. The audio device is usable for four days. I don’t know what’s wrong, maybe because my phone is from the same company, but the quality and power of the sound exceeded all my expectations. I couldn’t even imagine that such a small box could produce such musical drive. To be honest, I didn't expect it. At first I even regretted that I didn’t spend money and take the even more expensive x33 model, but now I found out that you can buy the same second speaker for this speaker and connect them both via Bluetooth and get stereo sound or even set them up in dual mode. Now I don’t regret at all that I took the younger model, I’ll soon go buy a second same speaker, and two separate speakers can be placed in different places around the apartment, which is much more interesting. I liked that the phone has a call acceptance button and a built-in microphone; with them, the speakers can be used for hands-free calling without even going near the phone itself. What’s convenient is that the speaker automatically turns off if the music stops playing. Something else you need to know: If your audio device is connected to the AUDIO IN jack, the device automatically switches to Audio IN mode. In this case, audio from a device connected via BLUETOOTH cannot be output from the device, but hands-free calls will be possible. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase and recommend it to everyone, especially owners of Sony phones.

    Advantages:

    excellent sound does not creak or wheeze, fast charging, battery lasts for approximately 12 hours of playback via Bluetooth - and this is in such a small size (power consumption can be reduced by connecting the device using a 3.5 mm jack), materials and build quality, design - Sony is at its best in this, as always, Bluetooth 3.0, NFC, AUX connector - not found in every portable system, convenient buttons, intuitive controls, omnidirectional microphone.

    Flaws:

    the price on the Russian market is perhaps a little overpriced, there is no way to connect two speakers to one device at once via an AUX cable; connection and charging status indicators could be placed in a more visible place, for example on the top of the speaker next to the control buttons.

We have a netbook and very weak speakers, in the car we can’t hear it when driving. Now the speaker is our salvation.

    The column cost me 3000 rubles. Therefore, the price/quality ratio is excellent. The charge lasts well, about 10-11 hours. I will take it on trips

    Advantages:

    I really liked the sound - the bass is high quality for a speaker of this size! A-grade design, pleasant to the touch, does not slip in your hands. I liked the hands-free function.

    There are wishes:
    1. It would be nice to make a line out audio output to connect to a more powerful stationary system.
    2. Micro USB is for battery charging only. But it wouldn’t be bad if the computer recognized it as a USB speaker. And so, you have to plug in two jack 3.5 wires for sound and USB for power. (SONY, please fix it in future models)

    Advantages:

    Very high quality sound. High quality build. It’s heavy, you feel like you’re holding a quality item in your hand! Works for a long time. Fast connection via NFC. AUX in. Pairs with another similar speaker and turns into a real stereo system. Wireless headset function (the microphone is built into the speaker itself, the interlocutor can hear me well). "it's a SONY"

    Flaws:

    Price. At maximum volume, especially if there is strumming of an acoustic guitar, and even at some bass frequencies, it becomes choking. Therefore, I listen at a volume of “13” - this is “-2” from the maximum, in total the sound adjustment has “15” steps.

    Before purchasing, I carefully studied the reviews and did not come across a single negative one. Reviews on YouTube also left a positive impression. However, the result exceeded all expectations! The cube is really bassy, ​​while producing crystal clear high frequencies. And all this with really very small dimensions. Now it works almost around the clock - morning and evening for us, during the day for our daughter))
    PS. After checking the goods upon receipt, the courier who delivered it also thought about purchasing this device))

    Advantages:

    Great sound from the cube! Lows, highs, volume - everything is in place!

    Flaws:

    Yes, there are none at all! Perhaps the price could be a little lower, but perhaps it could not))

    SONY SRS-X11 disappointed with one feature. I charged it, connected it to my cell phone via bluetooth, played for 3-4 hours at almost full volume - everything was great... and then the volume was halved. After this, the speaker operates at a low volume for two hours until it dies down. Strange "function". Why do you need a speaker that plays even quieter than a cell phone?
    - Why, SONY!? For what?
    For this I give 3 points, although I like the column and do not regret the purchase. I'll fix it to 5, if Sony releases a firmware update, they'll fix this bug.
    By the way, my Chinese speaker for 360 rubles always plays at full volume until it stops completely. Like everyone else on the market.
    And yet, the old BBK BTA106 speaker is louder, the sound is no less high-quality, it clings easier to a backpack, bike, etc. And it costs 1000 less.
    But the appearance of the SONY SRS-X11 always pleases me, and a lot can be forgiven for that.

    Advantages:

    Pleasant, beautiful, comfortable, I like the design. Attracts attention. Sounds like a 4+, cool.

    Flaws:

    A little expensive compared to, for example, BBK BTA106
    - the strap does not fit on the hand
    - works for 3-4 hours, and then another 2 hours at a low volume (quieter than a cell phone).

    Overall, it’s a good speaker, if you don’t pay attention to the disadvantages, but you won’t be able to ignore them; of course you can find a way out, but the impression is spoiled.
    And yes, I’ll support my friend who said that they hold shady competitions. That's for sure. I participated, I know, I was in the top 100 in the top ten, after which the display of the results was closed for a month, supposedly to sum up the results, in the end, miraculously, I ended up not even making it into the top one hundred.

    Advantages:

    Design, the ability to work in pairs as stereo sound, bass and volume.

    Flaws:

    I was disappointed by the halving of the volume three hours after listening, this has already been discussed and there are a couple of other disadvantages.
    1. When notifications arrive from social networks while listening to music from the Internet, the sound disappears for a while, does not fade away, but disappears altogether and
    2. In a certain position of the phone, the sound from the speakers disappears, as if waves are interfering, this is generally very annoying.

    review to the point. I liked the column, but!
    The biggest quibble is that the charging indicator and low battery indicator are located at the bottom at the back. Why couldn't it be placed in front?
    I don’t use NFC at all, although my phone has it, bluetooth pairs perfectly

    Advantages:

    Appearance, Compactness for 10 W, operating time, brand

    Flaws:

    If you turn it all the way up, it still doesn’t play at 10W, about 7W. the bass is even worse. But! I rarely turn it up to full, and half the volume will be enough for most people.
    Regarding the dimensions: I used to own jbl micro wireles, I could put them in my pocket without any problems. This won't work with this cube, keep that in mind.
    No Aux cable included

    If you are thinking about what to take... take it and you and the children will be happy) Charges for 2 hours, and music for 10 hours

    Advantages:

    Simply super!!! I bought it a year ago and have never regretted it. I took it for the kitchen (instead of the radio) and for hiking. It's worth the money, although expensive. Connects to the phone quickly and plays for a long time. By sound.. Of course, you need to take into account its size, but this baby gives everything away. Good bass and mids too, as they say "highs" but not very good, but what do you want

    Flaws:

    There are, but not significant...and I’m writing this review not for the sake of malice, but for the sake of praise. When the charge level is low, the speaker starts to stutter and swallows the words in songs, as if it is losing Bluetooth connection... just put it on charge.

    For such a device, everything is 5+. For hiking or for the kitchen in the apartment, as well as for those who like to listen to music in the shower, this is just the thing.

    Advantages:

    Great portable speaker for your phone. Loud. Well built, has a stereo effect, loud, gives good sound for this type of device. Impressive bass. Listening, for example, to classical music on it will not be the best experience, but all popular genres sound driving. You can take a second column of the same type and they will work in conjunction with each other.

    Flaws:

    The disadvantage would be that the bass is too pronounced, but considering that this is a small speaker with water protection, it probably cannot be otherwise.

    Advantages:

    Sound quality, volume, compactness...in a word, it's SONY!

    Flaws:

    Opening hours are very high! When fully charged, at maximum volume they play for 1.5, 2 hours! When charging, do not play at maximum volume, the volume decreases by less than half! They do not stick to other devices except my phone (Samsung Galaxy Note 2)! I've tried dozens of phones, tablets, landline bluetooths, it doesn't connect to anything, it's very annoying!

    In terms of music, Sony has an extremely rich and impressive heritage, and in the field of portable audio, the Japanese company is essentially a pioneer of the genre. Every schoolchild probably knows about this. That is why, with the advent of new products from Sony, user expectations and requirements are growing exclusively. Sony understands that it cannot afford to lower established quality standard.

    We have begun to get used to the fact that Sony Corporation is partly a premium brand, this applies to TVs, phones, and even more so audio equipment. However, the company's product range also includes affordable solutions.

    The power of the device is 10 W, and a pair of speakers are hidden under the plastic grilles. The frequency range of each is 20-20000 Hz.

    In the portable segment of Bluetooth speakers, such a device is the Sony SRS-X11; this is the youngest speaker of this type in the entire model range.

    External features and technical characteristics

    Sony SRS-X11 is nothing less than singing cube, housed in a durable plastic and ergonomic housing. The kit also comes with a brightly colored silicone bracelet for transporting the device (the speaker weighs a little more than 200 g) or for mounting Sony SRS-X11 in ballooning space.

    Device power - 10 W, a pair of speakers are hidden under the plastic grilles. Frequency range of each - 20-20000 Hz. The Sony SRS-X11 can connect to playback devices via Bluetooth, NFC and wired format via a mini-jack.

    There are only four control buttons: volume control, turning on the speaker (aka searching for paired devices if you briefly press the key and reset if you hold it a little longer), plus a button for receiving incoming calls if you plan to use the Sony SRS-X11 for speakerphone.

    Sony SRS-X11 is a very compact and durable speaker (tested on tile floors). The case is not dismountable, there are no moving parts, the keys are rubberized to protect against splashes.

    Features and sound quality

    Via all Sony SRS-X11 interfaces connects to the signal source without problems, be it a player with an NFC module (you just need to attach body to body, the music starts playing), a smartphone on iOS or Android, or a personal computer with a Bluetooth adapter.

    If you haven’t yet acquired multimedia speakers for your PC or your laptop’s speakers are too low-quality, the Sony SRS-X11 can work as a desktop soundbar.

    The Sony SRS-X11's small body is both a plus and a minus. We discussed the positive aspects of this decision, now it’s time to talk about sound.

    It is known that the larger the housing area for the speaker, the better. Here this rule is implemented most obviously, it is literally audible with the naked ear.

    The output acoustic signal is not 100% revealed; the music sounds like it’s coming from a closet (a bit muffled), although quite loud (depending on the source to which the device is connected).

    The Sony SRS-X11's small body is both a plus and a minus.

    The sound picture is moderately readable (especially vocal parts and high frequencies), grassroots for obvious reasons, there are not many, they are not particularly juicy, but there is no need to talk about their complete absence.

    In any case, it is necessary to understand what we are dealing with. This is a tiny 10W wireless speaker, no more, no less.

    The most obvious format for using the Sony SRS-X11 is camp voice acting outdoors or on the balcony. In the end, even in the kitchen, if you have not yet equipped one with a music center, a speaker from Sony will come in handy.

    The manufacturer talks about 12 hours of operation from the built-in battery. Real figures are still lower, by at least 2-4 hours. Again, the exact numbers depend on the signal volume level and how much you use the Sony SRS-X11.

    Results

    The good thing about portable speakers is that they can be placed in a bag or pocket for transportation; this will be useful for comparing various modifications of this device, which is common today.

    We need to understand what we are dealing with. This is a tiny 10W wireless speaker, no more, no less.

    To be sure of choosing the Sony SRS-X11, it is advisable to listen to the device and compare it with similar speakers that, for example, your friends probably have.

    Don't expect miracles from the Sony SRS-X11 in terms of sound (although the fact that it miniature creation capable of producing 10 W of good sound - already a miracle), this device simply knows its business, and performs the direct task well (the signal is stable even at a distance and in the presence of physical obstacles), effectively and with a proprietary message from Sony. We recommend.

    Sony's small cube is apparently the last in the line of speakers under the letter X - all the devices turned out to be very good, and the X11 is no exception. Excellent sound quality, interesting design, long operating time, there is even a speakerphone...

    Design, construction

    I would like to remind you that all the X series speakers turned out to be very good and you only need to decide on the size and how much money you are willing to spend on such a device. You don’t have to worry about the rest; in terms of sound, functionality, and operating time, these accessories are very good.

    The smallest speaker in the series was announced at an exhibition held in Barcelona. The design here follows the lines of older models. Those who are familiar with Sony will also recognize Xperia devices. Look at the ends: minimalistic design, clear light indicators - everything here is done conscientiously. Unfortunately, they sent me a pretty shabby mint-colored sample, abrasions and marks are visible, but this also says a lot; the appearance of the speaker is unlikely to change much during use. The speakers are covered by three metal grilles, the plastic is velvety, matte, fingerprints are invisible. On the top of the cube there is an NFC area for quickly connecting to other devices, a power button, answering a call and adjusting the volume. It’s gratifying that they didn’t skimp here and installed a microphone, so you can talk without touching your smartphone. The quality of speech transmission is average, you need to move the speaker closer, but still the speakerphone function is unusual and necessary for a small device.

    At the end there is a groove for attaching a strap, a rubber loop is included, it’s made great, you can hang the speaker on the handlebars of a bicycle or on your hand while walking and listen to music. On the back there are ADD buttons for adding another speaker (more on that later), a hidden reset button, an AUX input and a microUSB connector for charging. On the bottom there are several light indicators; they will tell you what place the speaker occupies in the pair (right or left channel), Bluetooth operation and whether charging is complete.





    The speaker is available in three colors: white, mint and black, the sizes are small, but the thing is weighty. And, I repeat, it is made of very high quality, it is pleasant to hold in your hands.


    The exact dimensions are 6.1 x 6.1 x 6.1 cm, weight - 215 grams.

    Bluetooth 3.0 profile is used and SBC code is supported. Supports profiles A2DP, AVRCP, HFP, HSP, frequency range 20–20,000 Hz (sampling frequency - 44.1 kHz). There were no problems connecting to the technology; I used a Sony Xperia Z3 and an iPhone 6 Plus - the first via NFC, the second via Bluetooth.

    If you buy two of these speakers, they can be combined into a pair, and the indicator will display which column is which.


    Working hours

    The stated operating time is 12 hours in music playback mode, charging takes about three hours (from USB).

    Music

    Very good sound quality for a speaker of this size, high volume level, emotions are perfectly conveyed - I won’t find fault with detail, as always when it comes to an ultraportable device. Believe me, I would gladly take the X11 with me on a trip. Small, loud, inexpensive. What else is needed.


    conclusions

    In retail, the speaker costs about 3,990 rubles, it appeared just in time, the holiday season is starting, people are frantically shopping, and believe me, if you are traveling for a couple of weeks or a month, you will probably need the speaker. On the beach in the evening or during the day, listen to music, watch a movie in a room with normal sound - imagine other scenarios for yourself.

    In the case of the X11, I liked the design, the sound quality, it has a speakerphone, and it has a long battery life. Cool thing for your money, check it out.
