Comments about Sony SA-NS500 HomeShare Wireless Portable Speaker:
This was a little difficult to set up with my WiFi, but this only needs to be done once.
I love being able to send music (or radio) from my iPhone or iPad to this speaker - and it is so easy, even the volume can be controlled from the iPhone.
I don't know if it's HiFi, but it sounds great.
Thanks to its built in battery I can pick it up by the integrated grab handle and put it in any room I happen to be in.
There is a trade off between size and sound quality. It is probably just a little too big to put on a shelf and I tend to put it on the floor - which is fine. There is a smaller version available, but I expect the bass is not so good.
Overall, very well done Sony.
