I have had this for a while and it has been a wonderful investment. Supports Google cast and Apple Play meaning you can cast from iOS and Android devices. The sound stage is wide, crisp and without unnecessary bass that distorts vocals (you can always get the bass adjusting through the app). I have streamed everything from 320kbps mp3 to FLAC to DSDs... it handles it with aplomb. When alone, I often plugin my external DAC (Chord Mojo) and wire it up to listen to good source music (DSDs and FLAC) and it is simply stunning. It auto updates the firmware automatically which takes the update chore away from me. Our big living room would not be the same without it. Highly recommended.

I bought this a couple of weeks ago, for my office space. I went way over my budget for it, so was crossing my fingers that it would meet expectations - and it has done! A really excellent bit of kit. I have cabled it to my network and now stream Hi Fi quality online music through it - this box makes the premium worthwhile! An excellent range of sound - rewards the effort put in by the makers of the music with appreciation on the part of the listener.

Why does such a big speaker not have an HDMI port while its lower models do!?

I’ve had this speaker for a few months, and have not been disappointed in any way! The battery life is phenomenal and the sound quality is honestly the best I’ve heard from a wireless speaker. It’s big but not so big that it’s inconvenient to carry around. It’s kind of expensive for sure, but it pays off! This speaker is super durable and has not shown any signs of breaking or slowing down. It’s loud enough to be heard in pretty much any environment. I would recommend to any of my friends or family!

I researched all bluetooth / wifi speakers before I purchased this. For my situation I felt this was the best product. It has excellent sound, great bass and really fills the room. Not to mention Sony is a company that is know to produce top of the line products at great prices. Very good value product. I read some reviews about people not happy with the bass response. Bass response is very good, but as an alternative solution you could purchase the Sony SA-CS9, which is a 10" 115W powered subwoofer. It's not wireless, but you could purchase a Google Chromecast Audio device and hook it up to the RCA plugs on the subwoofer. Sony Songpal app is compatible with Google Chromecast, so you could stream audio to both devices and I guarantee your ears will ring with the subs frequency response of 28–200 Hz. While the frequency response of the SRS-X99 is only 45–40,000, 20 being the lowest frequency the human ear can detect, it is still very good considering the size and purpose of this speaker system. The overall form factor is much smaller than I anticipated. I ran some subwoofer bass tests on youtube and am blown away by the volume and frequency response of this compact system. Product was shipped with the wrong power cord and the installation documentation is not in English. Now days most electronic products are designed for international use since it's cheaper than having multiple models for different markets. More specifically, most products have automatic power switching between 110v and 220v, so you don't need a converter, just an outlet adapter. While the product was shipped with a cord for 220v use, when I read the label on the bottom of the speaker it indicates it only operates at 220v. So I called Sony support and when they looked up the serial number, they indicated the label on the device was wrong. I borrowed a power cord from someone, and voila, the device powered up with no problem. I requested a credit from sell so I can purchase the correct cord. Connecting via Bluetooth was very easy, but to connect speaker to your wireless router with an iOS device is proving to be a little more difficult since they aren't NFC compliant. This is regarding the step in the instructions where you tap your phone to the "N" on the top of the speaker. This will transfer wireless router SSID and PW to the speaker automatically. However, without an NFC compliant wireless device, you will need to connect to the speaker with a computer via network cable to manually enter your wireless router SSID and password.

I listened to various small units but this larger model packs a bigger punch - though positioning close to a wall is needed to bring out the solid bass. The X99 delivers a clean, crisp sound. Easy to use with the SongPal app.

I already owned an SRS-X77 Sony speaker (which I also highly recommend), and was looking for another wireless Sony speaker to place in my lounge. I finally convinced myself to buy the SRS-X99, and I am so glad I did. I work from home and like to listen to music while working, and now have the same music playing from my PC, X77, X99, and my Sony AV receiver throughout the house via Airplay. Using the SongPal app, I grouped the X77 and X99 together to allow me to use Spotify (via wifi) simultaneously through both speakers at the same time. The sound quality of the speaker itself is superb - crystal clear without an over powering bass note. The build quality is also superb, the speaker has a reassuring heft to it along with a sturdy casing. The user buttons light up when your hand is close to the top surface, you don't need to touch it to activate the lights - a nice touch by Sony. Setting up the speaker was straightforward. I used the SongPal app and followed the setup instructions to add the speaker to my wifi network, it was very simple. I ran a test of music via Bluetooth versus wifi and wifi wins easily, so if you do buy a wireless speaker, make sure to get one that can be accessed via your wifi network for better sound reproduction. I haven't tested the USB A & B connectivity or HiRes playback, I'm sure other reviews will have some feedback for those subjects. Overall, highly recommended by me. I fully expect to be enjoying music via this speaker for a long long time.

Beautiful quality. Fantastic Sound!! Lovely design!! Sound much better than Sonos and most other streaming speakers. Not very straightforward to set up each time!! Bluetooth and Wi-fi have a tendency to drop out!!

I bought this along with another x99 and an x77 to provide music in our living areas. First of all the multi room system is fantastic and easy to use. Having tried all the multi room speakers in the shop we decided that the x99 had the best mix of sound and aesthetics. The sound is fantastic with a deep bass and consistent sound even at high volumes. The speaker looks great also especially with the front cover off so that you can see the speakers pounding when you pump the volume up. Altogether a great product whether using the multi room or connecting to a single speaker via Nfc. Highly recommended.

I needed to de-clutter my work room at home but still wanted a high quality source of music. This speaker seemed to fit the job, being much smaller than my current "second system" stacked on top of a cupboard. I had planned to use it in conjunction with my recently-purchased NW-ZX100 High Res Walkman via a Bluetooth connection. Upon receipt of the speaker, l was struck by its physical weight. It feels like a serious piece of kit. Once plugged in, l made the Bluetooth connection to my Walkman in seconds and off l went. It was so easy to set up. I left the speaker playing music for an hour or two before l started listening seriously. (All hi-fi needs a warm-up period) I was impressed immediately with its detailed and punchy sound. Having lived with the speaker now for a couple of weeks l can only say that l am very content. All my High Res Audio files sound amazing - rich, full of life and very tuneful. Perhaps even more impressive is the way it handles CD-quality files. It can upscale the sound and the results are rather good. The old adage applies, "garbage in, garbage out", but, given the best recordings, this speaker can deliver the goods. It can go really loud - too loud for my work space - but does not distort in any way. Treble highs really sparkle while bass remains taut and musical. I am yet to use the USB-B socket but all other links, wireless or otherwise, are working perfectly. This is a great product.

I brought this speaker 1st then the Sony HT-NT3 and was planning to buy additional speaker for other room's. Both the Speakers have impressive sound and could not be happier with the sound or the Bluetooth conectivity, but the moment I tried to connect to Wi-Fi the hole experience changed would not accept Wi-Fi code. Managed to connect via IPad but the Songpal app has been a complete nightmare and very glitchy and music play back stops frequently. If you want a multy room system DO NOT BUY, as individual units they are very good. Overall very disappointed, I have wasted far too much of my life trying to get this to work properly. It should not take an hour to get both speakers playing the same music. These are not cheap and expected better for the cost and from SONY. May only req a better app to control devices ???. and woul like to hear from SONY

Very u.

It could have used an optical input and an audio output for wireless earphones. Unless of course there is some configuration of adaptors currently unknown to me that will satisfy this?

This is a premium product - it's sleek and black and stylish and powerful and it sounds absolutely brilliant !! It is a substantial piece of equipment, heavy and has the excellent build quality you expect from Sony. Best of all, it has fantastic sound quality - the bass is deep, the treble clear and the voices have a quality rarely heard, it all fits together perfectly - I have been listening to all sorts of music covering many genres (and years) in my substantial collection and am hearing things that I have never noticed before - although to be fair you get out what you put in so all of my collection is now in lossless Flac. I confess to having a lot of Sony products but they all work seamlessly together from the Media Go software on pc, through the SongPal app on Experia SP to the X99, all are easy to set up and work perfectly - even with each component in different rooms. Having added extra SD card storage to the NWZ A15 it is easy to connect via NFC and the Bluetooth sound is fantastic even if controlled from a distance. I can't comment on other connections as do not have any Apple products or like using Google. Set up from the box was easy, updating the internal software a doddle and connections to home broadband straightforward - and everything is still working without any dropout after a couple of weeks - it is very easy to use. I already have an X77 and the multi room set up is straightforward and works so can use both while inside and out - if only weather allowed! Just one small issue, using the Experia mobile Songpal app through pc does sap the mobile battery over a longish period (few hours in the evening) but guess that is to be expected and it can be charged from another room. Overall, to me, the X99 is a fantastic product, it looks good and sounds simply brilliant. Fantastic!!!
