GadgetGuy’s take
It may be a baby speaker, but apparently it does have some bass. When speakers get this small and are waterproof, it is damned near physically impossible to get any bass at all – let alone high-bass 100-200Hz. Sony EXTRA BASS has a digital signal processor (as used in all the EXTRA BASS series) to produce well, extra bass. We have yet to review this, but we have seen its effectiveness in other models.
what a shit of “review”
It is really easy to slag someone’s review. It is really intelligent to tell them what was missing or what you may want to know. And it was not a review but a product announcement placeholder until we receive the product and can do a proper review.
