Product Reviews

Farewell, RA3000, I loved the idea of you! Yes, mine is bricked. Bought about 1.5 years ago, first used 6 months ago. I was excited by all the ways it could connect and the smart features. However, it was not user-friendly, in that I could only switch from network to bluetooth twice, though I tried 50+ times. I was perpetually stuck in network mode. Sometimes I was unable to turn off my Spotify that was playing. I could shut my computer down, but it would just keep going and there was no way to stop it. Only once was I able to use the top controls for volume etc. The thing simply ignored my many requests. Finally, after a network reconfiguration, the speaker would never work again. It powers on, blinks the green power light 5x, and shuts down. Sony told me it would need to go to a service place because the speaker is out of warranty, and said that was the only place that could work on it. I am in California, the recommended company is in New York. That company said I can send it to them, then they’d give an estimate of cost to repair the speaker. Given what their minimum fees and the cost for me to send it across the country, it did not make sense financially. Last, about the sound quality, it ranged from decent to excellent. The immersive audio stuff was interesting but can only be used on certain songs on Amazon only – not my preferred music app. See the pic, my two speakers - the RA300 which I am attempting to repair myself, and a JBL Clip3. Inside the tub and on a wood floor, the JBL is quite good, certainly doing more than the Sony, and at least it obeys my commands.. RIP, Sony SRS-RA3000.

Love the design and size. Easy to setup. Good sound quality.

It seemed to me to be complicated to commission. My problem was my phone not set up correctly and getting other blue tooth equipment recognized, particularly devices remote to the speaker ,such as routers. Another oddity of the device is all the control buttons are on various sides and underneath making it necessary to turn it around often. It connects easily with other Sony equipment such as my turntable which is where it comes into it's own with wonderful sound .

The Sony SRS-RA3000 speaker provide a rich and fulfilling sound to my Sony TV and my Desktop PC. It has a 3.5 mm audio input jack which makes it convenient and effective, rather than using its wireless features. Not everyone want to connect a bulky Soundbar via a HDMI cable which takes up space and length.

Big disadvantage is absence of AirPlay! Sound not so good as I expected!

Really love this speaker - definitelty fills the room - could be a bit deeper base but i love

I bought this during the black Friday/cyber Monday sale, and for the price I bought it at, it's amazing value! You can stream music, connect it to your Google devices and Google home app, connect Bluetooth, and also through an audio in. The clarity of the speaker is really good and very loud. There's none to very little distortion at full volume, and everything about the speaker feels premium. The touch controls are super sensitive, and you can play around with the settings through the music center app as well. It looks very classy in its dual color scheme, and goes with pretty much any setting in the house.

Bought this to replace my old Onyx 5. Somehow the sound quality is totally bad. Not something I expect from this price.

This audio device plays wonderful music from all kinds of sound sources. The reproduced sound spectrum consists of crisp and clear highs and lows.

Good value speaker - good sound for a large gym area

The speaker design is nice but the speaker is very high pitched and if you try to turn it up to loud it’s screeching at you. It’s ok for low volume and the 360 sound is nice but needs more base in it.

The sound quality of ra3000 is great. Bluetooth connection was good. Pairinf with tv it give surround sound quality. Clear and good bass.

Music has never sounded so good. It is so convenient and easy to use. No need to buy hi-fi components. Regret not buying the RA5000 instead.

I purchased this system and is more than happy with its performance. I also purchased 3 of the other model 5000.

I bought the black Srs Ra 3000 and it sits on the floor in the corner of the room and it fills the room with my classical music when I relax and it has a lovely rich tone and is crisp and clear. I am delighted with it. The design will fit nicely in with any decor anywhere in the house.

Purchased after Christmas after research for compatibility with Sony Turntable. Excellent product, looks stylish, great sound quality and connectivity to iPhone or turntable. Would recommend!

I like it for it to be portable and can put in any part of my house and also i bought it for is 360 functionality.If it is possible, sony should allows dolby atmos enable in a future firmware upgrade so it will be compatible to hear from apple music platform since i am using it alot.

I bought this last month as a Christmas present for myself and I am so happy with it.

I just set this up and it sounds great. I bought to improve the sound of my Echo Show and other Alexa devices when listening to music. I linked to my Wi-Fi and then linked to all my amazon devices.

Has led to many happy days. Very easy to setup, only downside to setup was connecting to alexa. Also works well for rhythm games via bluetooth connection, as was my hopes with the speaker

Taken from argos.co.uk

i like the overall design of the speaker but however the output of sound unable to give the punch, the balance of the sound (low mid high frequency) is little bit off.

Brought this and very happy with it. Love the features and the high quality sound.The speaker is easy to use.

Was a bit disappointed on the features of this speaker.

Happy with excellent performance, but it connect with bluetooth and wifi function make me confuse. If it can add a display to view song will be better. Because of more function may cost.
