Not suited for traveling [Posted on 2004-05-22] I really had high hopes for these speakers. I have ALWAYS loved Sony gear and always found it performed to its name. I compared these speakers against other battery powered units, and found the specs on the box were all almost the same for 4xAA speakers. These things were the biggest dissapointment. Battery life seemed to be about 6 hours, compared to 30+ hours my friend got with his 4xAA speakers. If I tried to use it in a room with a fan or air conditioner running, it couldnt be heard over the noise of the unit. If I tried to use it outside, simple noises like cars driving by or people talking drowned it out. It was as if I plugged in headphones and turned it up as high as I could in hopes it could be heard. I have switched to my friends brand, which I wont mention here. I dont want it to appear I am trying to plug another brand- I really do just hate these speakers.
Great for the Frequent Traveller [Posted on 2005-01-06] I am a corporate trainer, and I use these little speakers for audio during some of my PowerPoint presentations. They have also kept me company in lonely hotel rooms while travelling to remote places. I think they are great. They take very little space, but have a remarkably good sound.
Very workable! [Posted on 2005-08-02] Found the sound to be very acceptable. I previously bought Sony's SRS-A27 portable speakers. Here is the comparison:
The Sony A27's are possibly louder than the T55's but sound like desktop computer speakers. Buy the T55 if you want local sound such as a hotel room music fix, or fishing boat or poolside tunes. The bass is stronger than the A27's and thus very listenable. The fold up size lets you throw the CD walkman and speaker unit into pockets of most backpacks or travel bags. Rechargeable batteries are a must it appears (I haven't tested the duration at this point).
Awesome little speakers! [Posted on 2005-08-29] I admit, I was skeptical that these little speakers would sound good, but boy was I proven wrong! Sound is round, full and deep. I even compared the sound to my expensive Sony under-cabinet stereo/cd player I have in my kitchen...put on the same radio station and these little speakers sounded better! true, you won't get the power of a higher watt system, but I guarantee you'll be amazed that such sound can be packed into such a small package. This will be PERFECT for taking on my vacation, so I can get sensational sound from my Walkman without having to wear a headset and without having to drag along a big, bulky boom box!
Sony folding speakers excellent purchase for travel [Posted on 2007-03-26] This is the second set of these Sony speakers I have bought. I use them constantly and just wanted some as back up. Great purchase!
