Dimensions and weight of the Sony SRS-X99
The fact that this Sony SRS-X99 offers a great sound does not imply that the “wrapper” has to be large. In this case, bet on a rectangular model that measures 43 x 13.3 x 12.5 centimeters and weighs about 4.7 kilos. Therefore, we could not consider it as one of the most portable equipment on the market.

On an aesthetic level, we must recognize that this Sony speaker has been created to impress.

A USB-A input that is perfect for connecting and charging MP3 players, flash drives, iPhone and iPads. The second USB port is type B, and is used to connect it to a PC. We also see an antenna that when deployed improves wireless connectivity.

But the strong point of the Sony SRS-X99 is its wide range of wireless connections. With the LDAC codec you will be able to enjoy a high quality wireless transmission via Bluetooth. You also have the possibility to connect your device through a single touch through NFC technology. To play music from your PC you have the DLNA standard and if you have an Apple smartphone or tablet you can use AirPlay.

Exceptional audio
Focusing on sound quality, we have to say that this wireless speaker offers a power of up to 154 W in a 2.1 channel system, with four super tweeters, two speakers for medium frequencies and a subwoofer. There is no doubt that this device has been developed to deliver exceptional audio. Its seven speakers, each accompanied by their respective amplifier, manage to create a frequency range of 45 Hz to 40 kHz. In practice, the above translates into a precise high-resolution sound, from the lowest bass to the sharpest harmonics.
