          I thought that anyone who had Bluetooth should go to a dentist. :noidea:

            @pete - I don't have one, but have seen one in action, and the Sony unit does not disappoint. Whilst things have moved on since I was a dealer, I am firmly of the belief that the one thing that Sony has retained is their design integrity, and they habitually over-engineer the majority of their stuff (in comparison to other brands); Nothing wrong with JBL, Bose, Panasonic, Samsung or even LG at a push.

            Consider the likes of the JBL Charge+ or Cambridge G5 or Mission Aero - - all very respectable brands that really know their speakers from their onions. :dbgrtmb:

                One tip with Sony gear @pete - run it in! They tend to use very high quality capacitors, which have the absolute best in life expectancy; the slight downside is that they tend to need a good few days (solid) of use before they 'bed in' :dbgrtmb:

                  Well I went out a done it.
                  I bought the Sony SRS-XB20

                  Gotta say I'm impressed with the sound, but then I am a bit deaf.
                  Sounds good and clear to me though and volume pretty impressive for such a small thing.

                  Having a few connection problems at the moment though.
                  My laptop seemed to forget it when I turned it off, and had to go through the whole process of reconnection when I turned it it.

                  Hope to get that sorted.

                  My lap top also forgets my printer.

                  I must have the most absent minded lap top that was ever made.

                  Add to that my internet connection keeps going up the chute and I'm doing well.:biggrin:

                    Sounds like you have some driver issues there @pete - what version of Windows are you using?

                    Sony stuff generally always sounds impressive for its size and price. :blue thumb:

                          Hmmmm.... Windows isn't the best when it comes to Bluetooth, but that would suggest that it has installed OK.

                          Stick with it a bit, and if it doesn't settle after a restart, we can dig a bit further.

                                these are a bit childish perhaps for your needs, Pete, but as for functionality they work great (the water inside moves with the music) BoomBeatz Bluetooth Water Speakers
