A kid from 80s would know how big a player Sony was in the multimedia market. Who could forget how its Walkaman and boomboxes changed the way we listen to the music. In the recent ears, portable speakers were changed by smartphones and boomnoxes by wireless speakers.

Sony is a house hold name; they manufacture everything under the sun from audio systems to TV's to gaming consoles. Today we have for review a really tiny Sony Bluetooth speaker, the SRS-X11. Perfect for those who want to play background music from their phone or laptop.

Bluetooth speakers come in all sizes, but the new SRS-X11 from Sony is still a bit special in terms of compactness. It is cube-shaped and

Light and small

No deep bass to speak of

Pros: Look, size, quality. Cons: Not loud enough. Other thoughts:

At $70 (UK£54, AU$99), Sony's SRS-X11 is at the higher end of the micro wireless speaker market, which is rather crowded these days.

While you can get even cheaper Bluetooth models, the SRS-X11 is one of the better-sounding micro wireless speakers and offers 12 hours of battery life.

The Sony SRS-X11 is a very compact, attractively designed Bluetooth speaker that plays pretty loud and sounds pretty decent for its tiny size. It has an integrated speakerphone, can be paired wirelessly with another X11, and offers 12 hours of battery life.

Should cost about one-third less.

I bought this a month ago for my niece and she has found it really useful since. She's travelling, so having a small speaker to play her music from has proved ideal

Portable Bluetooth speakers come in all shapes and sizes now, but few are quite as travel-friendly as Sony's SRS-X11. The SRS-X11 is a tiny 2-inch cube that can be tossed in a bag or carried by the included strap. For $69.99, however, the speaker is overpriced for what it delivers—an average audio experience with a limited control panel. For those willing to spend the money, it's possible to pair two SRS-X11s with a single sound source and assign one speaker the left audio channel and the other the right. While this allows for a wide stereo effect, that's a $140 investment that could be spent on a far more powerful-sounding stereo Bluetooth speaker. If portability is your highest priority, the SRS-X11 is perhaps worth your attention, but keep in mind there's no shortage of inexpensive, small Bluetooth speakers out there. DesignMeasuring approximately 2.4 inches on all sides and weighing 7.6 ounces, the cubic SRS-X11 ($69.99 at Adorama)  is offered in black, blue, pink, red, or wh...

The Sony SRS-X11 is a miniature portable Bluetooth speaker that would get a higher rating if it were priced lower.
