Great Product

By slick1

from SA, TX

Comments about Sony Black HomeShare Portable Speaker:

I purchased two of these units a few months ago. Set up was a bit different than I have had to do for other products connecting to my wireless network. The only issues I have had was that I had one unit that would drop the signal after a few minutes. However, moving the location of my wireless router solved the issue. I also am an all Mac, iphone, iPad user. I have no issues with Airplay from any of these devices. I also recently installed an Apple Time capsule with the built-in wireless router and the set up went well and have had no further connection issues.

Great design/sound, POOR AirPlay performance

By lukemac77

from Philadelphia, PA

Comments about Sony Black HomeShare Portable Speaker:

I was eagerly awaiting the release of this speaker because I liked the design and the possibility of using it as an AirPlay device. The speaker looks great and is nice and compact. It definitely fills the room with nice quality sound, but does not get very loud (which is sometimes useful, i.e. party). When placed on the floor, the bass is actually pretty good! HOWEVER, and this is a big however, unless you actually have something physically plugged into it via a stereo cable, this speaker is useless! It is constantly dropping the sound and/or disconnecting from the network. AirPlay works for 5-15 minutes and then drops out. There is a known issues with iPhone 4S and AirPlay sound dropping, however, a similar issues occurs when streaming directly from a computer with iTunes, albeit after about 30 minutes. Hence, this speaker cannot be recommended as a wireless/AirPlay device. I do like the way it looks and sounds, but unless Sony fixes the firmware, I have no choice but to return it.

Beautiful but full of bugs

By BBOO

from San Diego, CA

Comments about Sony Black HomeShare Portable Speaker:

Have been trying to set this up with Mac for hours now -- unable too. The speaker will work for a couple of minutes, bring my entire network down, and then stop working. Tried setting it up via Windows Machine with the same result. Beautiful design, great sound (when it works), and excellent features (when they work) but the firmware is BUGGY. Fees rushed -- Sony: Please push a firmware update soon or this bad boy is going back to your store
