You love your current speakers. But there’s a world of wireless music they just can’t access. Until now. Transform your stereo or home theater system by adding the SoundTouch® Wireless Link adapter and stream music from your home Wi-Fi® or favorite Bluetooth® devices. Setup is simple. Use the SoundTouch® app to control your music easily through your phone or tablet. You can even play music all throughout your home by expanding with other SoundTouch® speakers. They all work together to play the same music in every room, or different music in different rooms.

Great for integrating to your old stereo system

The SoundTouch Wireless Link Adapter is a wonder little adapter to add SoundTouch capabilities to your old media systems. I love my SoundTouch SA-5 amp, my two SoundTouch 10 and SoundTouch 20 for the rest of my house but I like the way I have my family room's surround sound systems is set up with my Onkyo Receiver and Bose Ceiling/Wall Speakers. But yet I was missing the SoundTouch system integration in that room. SoundTouch Wireless Link Adapter solves integration problem for me. I hooked up the Link Adapter to my receiver's CD in via the fiber optical port. Now I can have SoundTouch system throughout my house. The sound coming from my system sound just as good if not better than my old CD player ( I actually removed it after installing the Link Adapter ). The installation of the SoundTouch Wireless Link Adapter is just as easy as adding Bose SoundTouch 10 or 20. Now I can control every speaker in my house through the SoundTouch App. This Christmas I will be able to play Christmas all through the house.

My wife was looking for a bluetooth speaker with speakerphone capabilities for her craft room. My wife always says Bose are the best. I talked her into listening to other bluetooth speaker before buying. The BestBuy employee was there to demonstrate the various speakers using his iPhone. The Bose, Beats, JBL and the other speakers were good, but the clarity of Sony surprised us. We could hear instruments and voices more clearly than others. Sure a lot of other bluetooth speakers have bigger bass sound, but they are not as clear as this Sony SRSX55.
We placed in the Sony SRSX55 in her craft room. It sound wonderful.
I also found out that you can pair another Sony SRSX55 with ours to get 2 channel stereo sound. Now for the other features, the NFC ability had our Sony paired to her iPhone 6 in less than 10 seconds. The speakerphone was clear on both ends of the conversation.
We love this speaker. I want one for my garage, hint hint to the wife. WARNING, don't listen to the demo modes that are proved by the speaker's manufactures. Bose and Beat sounded the best with their demos but when we used my wife's and the BestBuy employee iPhones, they sounded muffed and a little flat compared to their demos. Use your bluetooth or 3.5mm hook up to hear how your device will sound on the speakers. Plus Sony demo audio needs to be up dated. They won't sell speakers with that demo. Thank God for the BestBuy employee recommending to use bluetooth or 3.5mm plug.

My family is very impress with the picture quality, I am impress by what all I get for a reasonable price. The sale price was $1299, then add the Best Buy Mastercard discount and my reward points. We paid about $300 less than the competition. Now for the Television, it's loaded with a lot of extras like WiFi and 720 Clear Action for no motion blur. Plus the picture quality was just as good if not better than Comparable Samsungs, LGs or Sonys 4K Televisions. My wife was hesitant about getting a new television since our old one was only 6 years old. She now very impressed with the picture quality, especially after watching her favorite movies (Beautiful Creatures and Twilight)

We love the Onkyo's AV receivers
on March 8, 2015

I was given an Onkyo TX-NR 616 three years ago for my birthday. Family loved it because the multi room/multi zones. It was very dependable and produced great sound especially in Dolby Surround Sound. I wanted a new receiver with the Dolby Atmos, HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 because we are upgrading our TV to 4K this year.
Now that we upgraded to the TX-NR 636, the movies sound even better, we don't need adapters for the bluetooth or WiFi, the television interface is cleaner and clearer than the old GUI. The wife loves she can play her music anywhere in house. We can have our phones more than the 33 feet away from the receiver and still be connected by Bluetooth. We usually lose the connection in the front yard or garage. One surprise for us was the picture quality improved. I thought I was crazy but the wife and kids noticed it too.
Nice upgrade for Onkyo Lovers

Just what I needed to expand my S-Air system
on October 5, 2011
Posted by: Merv61
from Sacramento, CA
It was just what I needed to expand my S-Air system into my kitchen. It paired with my Sony soundbar with no problems, so I can listen to my music. My Altus speakers are over 60 feet away from my music source with no interuptions or distortion. Only complaint is the sound could be a little bit better especially the bass.
What's great about it: It expands my Sony S-Air system to anywhere in the house.
What's not so great: Sound quality could be a little bit better especially better bass

What is the battery life.
How long will it play on a single charge?
I plugged it in when we first got our Sony SRSX55. Two hours later it was fully charged. I did not stay there watching when it was fully charged, but two hours is pretty good.
