While you can get even cheaper Bluetooth models, the SRS-X11 is one of the better-sounding micro wireless speakers and offers 12 hours of battery life. Put your speaker on a soft, dry cloth with the logo facing down to drain any water collected inside the speaker. Select Custom mode to set sound effects for the top, front, left, right, and bottom panels of your speaker. When pairing with two or more BLUETOOTH devices, perform the following pairing procedure for each device. The speaker has dual passive radiators that help produce enough bass to keep the speaker from sounding too thin. Sarah Tew/CNET

There isn't much else included in the box, save for a microUSB cable for charging. But for the low price, I don't really expect, nor do I need, much else to begin listening. Performance Note: Connect your second speaker within a minute. After a minute or more, the Wireless Party Chain setting is canceled. Clean foreign substances as soon as possible. Otherwise, it may cause the water-repellent fabric part to become discolored or deteriorate and lead to speaker malfunction. Follow this maintenance procedure to clean salt, sand, and other foreign substances from the water-repellent surface of your speaker:

On your speaker, press and hold the Pairing/Power icon button until the Bluetooth icon blinking indicator flashes rapidly.

When you turn on the speaker, the speaker tries to make a BLUETOOTH connection with the last connected BLUETOOTH device. If the device is nearby and its BLUETOOTH function is on, the BLUETOOTH connection is established automatically and the (BLUETOOTH) indicator stays lit. When you want to connect another BLUETOOTH device, terminate the current BLUETOOTH connection by operating the currently connected BLUETOOTH device. I don't talk about the bottoms of speakers often, as there's usually nothing to see. But on the SRS-X11, Sony cleverly put the status indicators to face downward, which reflects nicely if you're resting the speaker on a reflective surface. The speaker is not resistant to water pressure. Don't perform this step using high water pressure, such as in a shower. You'll hear a beep, and the Bluetooth icon indicator flashes and the WPC indicator lights up, and the Bluetooth icon indicator turns off.

The pairing mode of the speaker ends after 5 minutes. If pairing mode ends, you must start pairing operations for the speaker over from the beginning.The Power icon indicator flashes may also indicate that the built-in battery level is low. The number of flashes may differ.

When pairing with a BLUETOOTH device that cannot display a list of detected devices or that has no display, you may be able to pair the device by setting both the speaker and the BLUETOOTH device to pairing mode. At this time, if a passkey is set besides “0000” on the BLUETOOTH device, pairing cannot be done with the speaker. To use the speaker add function, pair with the speaker where the (BLUETOOTH) indicator flashes in white. As I said, there are a lot tiny Bluetooth speakers out there. I like the JBL Clip Plus , Logitech X100 and Sol Republic Punk , to name a couple. From a sound standpoint, this little Sony competes well with those models and delivers better battery life -- a full 12 hours at moderate volume levels.If you're keen to make a sleek and stylish new addition to your living room, consider some hi-tech Sonos speakers. These operate over Wi-Fi rather than Bluetooth, so whether you're getting on with the housework or you've got a party in full-swing, you can be reassured that you'll experience no interruptions or delays while you're enjoying your music. The Sonos range features various models, but spectacular audio quality is a given; these clever devices are also able to analyse your surroundings and adjust the sound accordingly. The last two ports are ones that you'll find in pretty much every Bluetooth speaker out there. You have the 3.5 input for wired listening and a microUSB port for charging the device. The SRS-X11 prides itself in being able to hang out anywhere, so long as there's somewhere to hook it. It can also provide a pleasant experience in terms of its sound performance, battery life, call quality and overall ease of use.
