| The SRS-A27 desktop speakers will morph your personal CD player or radio into a substantial sound system. They will accomplish this morphing with minimal cost. These speakers are Sony's basic, yet highly sensitive speaker. With their compact size and shape, these speakers are perfect for a dorm room or office. The two watts of power, along with the 57 mm driver units provide quality sound with a wide frequency. To enhance the bass sound, Sony has installed a built-in Mega Bass sound; this boosts the sound quality, especially at low frequencies. With magnetic shielding, you can be confident that the speakers will not harm the quality of other near-by components, like a TV or computer monitor. You have two options for powering these speakers. Choose either an optional AC adaptor or four AA batteries (not included.) The speakers will play up to thirty hours with Sony alkaline batteries. There is a single, mini-jack input located on one of the speakers. The on/off switch and volume control are also located at the front of one of the speakers, making adjustments easy to accomplish. The two speaker cords are one meter long. Take your Walkman, Discman or computer to a new level with these active, bass-heavy speakers. What's in the Box

 So much better than the other reviews say |

Before buying these speakers, I purchased the Sony passive speakers for $6.00. Those were absolutely terrible. After the wire snapped, I decided to pay a little more for these...best decision I've made in a while. They are much louder than you would believe, and have surprisingly good quality.
However, I bought these for a very unique reason. I put these speakers in my backpack to play during and after school, and things like that, and these are perfect for that.
I would highly recommend these speakers, hands down. |

| I use these at work and they are handy, and don't sound bad at all. They are almost indestructible as far as dropping them, I have many times, and they keep working. Amazing! |

I had a pair of Sony speakers that had no power source (no batteries or AC adaptor)...and they worked fine for what they were. however, I wanted something that could be low with no batteries, but if I wanted to hear them outside with people talking etc, I wanted to be able to power them up and actually hear the music from my IPOD as opposed to it being barely audible.
I searched everywhere for something small, that worked with batteries, worked with AC adaptor, and also worked alone with no power. These were the only pair that I could find at the time and they perform excellently.
Whenever I use them people are amazed at what kind of volume is able to be produced by these little things.
They should definitely be a part of anybody's IPOD kit...highly recommended. |
Simple and decent

| When I was looking for a pair of powered portable speakers, I looked at this pair from Sony, as well as a couple selections at Radio Shack, all for the same price of $19.99. Compared to the Radio Shack speakers, the Sony has these pros and cons: Pros:
- lightweight
- better build quality (all are made in China)
- accommodates easier-to-find AA batteries vs. size C for RS
- slightly better sound with more clarity Cons:
- no bass or treble controls as on the RS speakers
- not as loud as the RS speakers, but the latter gets distorted so bad so the maximum volume is meaningless In the end I chose the Sony speakers for better sound and build quality as well as a longer warranty. I use them with my RCA Lyra MP3 Jukebox and also my Panasonic SL-SV550 CD/MP3/Radio player. Pretty happy so far. |
Good product for what it is supposed to do

I had Sony speakers before, but they did not have the option of adding batteries or plugging it in...so the output was minimal. I decided that I needed speakers with more power. I looked everywhere and bought these...they seemed to be one of only a handful of speakers that would let me use either batteries or plug into an outlet (adapter not included). They were fantastic. I have read other reviews about the noise not being that good, but I have no complaints. They are not "tingy" and get very loud for such a small speaker.
My only issue is that the pair I had, the speaker not connected to my IPOD (you connect one line into the IPOD, and the line from the other speaker plugs into the first speaker, the one plugged into the IPOD) would cut in and out.
I opened up the speaker and saw that the connection came off, so I soldered it back on, but it just did not perform the way it did at first for over 2 years. I am not sure if I was too rough with them, or if it was a product flaw. This is my 2nd pair...I will give them another shot, so they were at least good enough for me to give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe I just threw them around too much. If the same issue happens again, I know it is a Sony issue as opposed to my fault.
