After IS800 Bluetooth Headset, Sony Ericson is all ready to roll out yet another interesting accessory - MS500 wireless speaker. MS500 is a 2 watt, bluetooth 2.1 wireless speaker for listening to music. This new wireless speaker is good, but like any gadget or accessory it comes with its flaws.
First let’s see some good things that the Sony Ericson MS500 wireless speaker has:
• It connects with almost all devices (except the iPhone and the ubiquitous Nokia)
• The design is pretty good.
• Sony Ericson wireless speaker is splash proof
• If you connect the speaker with any Sony Ericson walkman headset, the output voice quality is very good.
• The reception range is good. (The speakers would play good audio even when the device is in an adjacent closed room).
• The speaker’s battery life is for 5 hours, which is pretty good.
• Also, you can use rechargeable batteries in the speaker.
So those were the good features of Sony Ericson’s wireless speaker. Now read below a few flaws:
• The speaker doesn’t not work well when connected with Nokia cell phone and iPhone, which makes it not desirable for those with iPhones and Nokia cell phones. (Try using it with some Nokia phone, the voice quality is really poor).
• There is no volume control system integrated in the speaker. To set the volume you need to switch to your mobile phone.
• The quality of voice is good only for a quite place, not when you are driving your bike or so.
That was a quick review of some advantages and some disadvantages of Sony Ericson’s MS500 wireless speaker. To see what the new wireless speaker looks like, click Sony Ericson MS500 Wireless Speaker.
But the greatest hurdle, which is a very strong one, this speaker may confront with is its mismatch with the mighty iPhone. After all, one wouldn’t want a speaker, wireless though, that doesn’t go with their iPhones?
