UPD, sony review H.Ear go under photos!

A sticker appeared on the top side - the Hi Res Audio, as well as the new EXTRA BASS button, which, believe, you need to click, and never disable.

Sonya column Mast Hav!

So, this device has been from the moment of announcement for a year, and in the Internet there are no words. There are only sofa theories and comparison with old good 3.

Therefore, you will have to do everything yourself.

SCONY SPECIFICATIONS SONY H.EAR GO

Column in the form of a bar, most of all resembling a "miracle is full" for the fireplace :)
Dimensions 204x62x60 mm, which is two centimeters longer than the previous model, and is identical in height and depth.
The increase in dimensions slightly affected the capacity:
2x12 W, and was 2x10 W
By the way, it is 20 percent, and not "only" four watts.

Inputs - linear (MINI JACK connector)
Bluetooth Interfaces, Wi-Fi, NFC

Yes, Sony introduced in his mini column a multi-meter system!

The stated battery life of 12 hours.

Connector for charging micro USB. - perfect solution! Minus one charger In a suitcase when traveling on vacation.

Weight 790 grams against 730 grams in the previous model.
Physically, the difference is not palpable, as well as the increased size. The rounded SRS-HG1 Boca is forced to think that the column is less than it actually.

This time, the front mesh is removable, with the help of the lever at the bottom of the column, it is disconnected and easily inserted back, as it holds on magnets.

Sound impressions

The column inherited the character traits of X-33, in particular the bellows. The first impression is a gundosite column. But this impression is wrong. This occurs due to the uneven balance of low and high frequencies at different levels of volume. Approximately from the middle of the power, the bellows disappears and Sony gives a juicy clear sound.
Basa is a gigantic step forward, now everything fell into place, any music sounds elegant.
Here you and the classic, and rock and even Vysotsky, any genre is just Wah! The same case, when you want to listen again all the most favorite compositions and add new ones to the phonet to enjoy the fresh sound.
And why? Is 4 watt played such a role?
Not. The column appeared articulation, all the tools began to work out clearly, the sound no longer turns into a porridge, and the bunch of a bunch of a bunch so that it came after all this happy day, when you don't see where the sound is played, in life you can not guess that he It comes from such a tiny column.

Gorgeous! For its size, now it is solid five points. I am extremely critical to Sony, but in this case I remove the hat, the guys worked well!

Sony H.Ear Go Srs-Hg1 is exactly what you wish from portable column. Sound, autonomy, wifi, design, versatility, bass - Maybe I missed something? Unlikely.

Autonomy 10 hours stable on not the most quiet volume. At least plus 2-3 hours compared to the previous model you will get iron.

Sony H.Ear GO demonstrates with all its kind of excitement. Whether the case is heard - in standby mode, the red LED is constantly lit! Outrageous wastefulness of electricity. But it looks great.
The LED glows a day at least. Then goes out. The battery does notably not discharge.

I would very much like to compare this column with opponents, but I will not. Every my own, and let Sony be in the face of this particular model by my personal favorite in choosing a small portable acoustics.
