- We first tried the 360RA prototype speakers back at CES 2020, but these SRS-RA5000 and SRS-RA3000 speakers really blew us away AND they're available in the market now!
Tl;dr: Sony's 360RA tech is seriously impressive and you really should pop by a store to listen to these.

always include sound comparison in your reviews
That would be nice, but can you really tell the difference anyway if you're trying to find the difference in a video? It would be better to just go to a nearby store where they have these speakers and listen to them (as she stated in the video) and that's what I do when deciding to buy audio devices.
Why ask for sound comparison!? Headphones or loud speakers cant give the true sound through youtube audio
I love the design of the RA5000. That's the one I'm going to get 😃
I have been waiting for ages for SONY to turn those prototypes into products for sale.
As always an excellent review. Thank you. I did not not know that these speakers exist until now. Question: Can these speakers be configured into stereo using 2 units ?
Thanks for watching! I pinged Sony to be doubly sure of the answer, and they informed me that while you can technically pair 2 or more Reality Audio speakers together, it won't be in stereo. Personally, I think one of the big selling points of these speakers is that there's already surround sound with just a single unit, so there's no need to spend the extra money to buy another one. Really do recommend trying these out when they come to a store near you, it's honestly mind-blowing how good they sound!
U r great. Subscribed today. Thanks for perfect explanation.
Glad it helped!
It would be nice if those speakers can convert and play audio or music at 24-bit by 192khz (studio quality).
Nice review 👍 does Sony speaker also comes with wired or Bluetooth microphone for jamming sessions?
Nope!
Very informativ review. Was not aware Sony is providing this kind of nice devices. Thanks for your presentation!
Thanks for watching! I believe the speakers aren't out yet in the states (if that's where you are), so you might need to wait a bit to take a listen to them!
Good video :) compliments!
Hey Marco, thanks for watching!
Thank you for your review, I am planning to buy the RA3000 enven though I don't use Spotify but another streaming service called Qobuz. Do you think I need any extra device, or do I only need my smartphone?
Smartphone only!
Good information
Thanks for watching!
thats sick!
I think i prefer the older SRS-X99 more directional but also more slimline, i dont know where i would put it in a room
Also i was not impressed by Sony 360 audio in the past on headphones :)
Yup, I never use 360RA on my WH-1000XM4, but these actually sound really good for some reason!
those were my favorite sony wireless speakers as well.. couldnt get anymore simplistic and japanese looking than the rectangular bento design.. plus they were tuned very well and not bass heavy like their current consumer line up
@@jub8891 nice :)
I think this file format isn't really meant for headphones. Additionally there are a lot of people which say, that it depends on the recording. Some tracks are good, some are really bad
Can you talk directly to the speaker for google assistant features?
Nope, it's controllable via Google Assistant on your phone or another speaker, but you can't speak to the speaker.
Btw ...I can believe they are selling more of the RA5000. I live in South Korea, and the RA5000 is sold out here. I was trying to buy it but so far have not been able to.
It's insane! I guess it's true that good products sell no matter what the price 😅😅
@@Audiofied that's true though. If something is genuinely good, does as it says, as well as it's well designed it will sell
Is SRS-RA3000 better that SoundLink Revolve II ???
Honestly, they're pretty different. I'd say yes, in my opinion. Sound quality and loudness is better.
Can you link these in party mode to other speakers
Last I checked, for the SRS-RA5000 you could link one more speaker to it so you have two. Not sure about the RA3000 though!
Please meke review of Sony MHC-V43D but with some test sound.
Hello! Unfortunately, I don't think that's something that we'll be reviewing, but thanks for watching!
Op review
Can these replace a home theatre setup?
Definitely not, especially if you've got a proper setup
So do you tell me that if I want to use it for google assistant domotics, I can't use it ? (for ex. "hey google turn off the lights")
Thanks for the video
Hey Denis, that's right, you can't use these for Google Assistant commands. You can, however, set them as a bedroom speaker or something and say to ANOTHER Google Assistant-enabled speaker "play some music in the bedroom", and the Sony speaker should start playing music.
@@Audiofied Ok thanks a lot.
But I need a speaker that have a lot of sound and also can be used for full google assistant commands.
Have you some ideea please ?
Thanks again
Hmmm this is pretty tough as I haven't reviewed a lot of speakers. Have you considered Sonos? There's Google Assistant on quite a few of their speakers!
@@Audiofied I think I'll give it a try to the Google Nest Audio...
Thanks a lot
@@MrDenisJoshua The Bose 300 and 500 have what you're looking for
Sony is the king!
I did listen to them recently, Even though I am a huge Sony fan, I felt these two speakers are really rubbish. Sony had put loads of efforts to design but they did not put much efforts to produce top sound quality. RA360 was good in the 5000 but lacked so much in detail sound crispiness. But the XP500 and the XP700 are top notch.
You should review the Onyx Studio 7, Great vid btw!
Thanks for watching! I'll see if I can get my hands on those 😉
Are you Comparing your Shit Studio 7 with the king
@@elwynkingofangles1056 It was just a recommendation but go awf😘
Reviewing without having it turned on... What a shame
Speaker review without soundtest? Something is not right.
It would be pointless, since the sound depends on what audio device you are using to listening the test. Plus youtube is very strict, and it would be a poor mp3 compression anyway.
In the US it cost $700 , is it worth $700 .
It's tough because it's so pricey, but if the 360 Reality Audio feature intrigues you, I'd say yes!
sorry, but I don't think so. There are many other speakers that sound better and are sometimes cheaper. I think $700 is way too expensive for this speaker.
The 3000 sounds awful or if the box. Lacks punch or clarity. Eq and any advanced audio settings only seem to be offered for 3 specifications apps. Really a bad design overall.
Ist to much... This don't have LDAC. This don't have WiFi 6.
No LDAC because it is always better via Wi-Fi. I Have an LDAC compatible speaker but I can't set it to its maximum quality due to a bad signal stability. So basically, I use SBC signal more often
Ресивер Sony 1080 🤙😎🤙
You made a video about audio speakers without playing them. Thumbs down
ok.. let me sing for you...
great design, but the sony ra3000 sounds worse than my ipad.
I don't believe you.
@@yuzhouxie9394 you don't have to, but I am just expressing my personal opinion. I ended up returning the sony ra3000 and got a Sonos 5 instead.

Your review is fake. I’m sure it’s paid, stop lying. This SPEAKER SUCKS. Every other reviews on google and youtube rated it very low and it’s not even worth the price. Look at Flossy carter’s review on this speaker.
Lol I wish I was paid for reviews, would make earning money a lot easier. If you don't see the paid promotion tag (and you'll never see it on a video titled "review"), nothing in that video is paid. With regards to your opinion, sure, audio is subjective, and everybody's entitled to their own opinion. Have you tried the speaker personally?
@@Audiofied have a look at “Flossy Carter’s review on this speaker. He’s one of the most trusted reviewer out there and he’s honest. And he rated this speaker below average. I was really interested to buy this speaker but after watching his review, I was disappointed. I expected better from sony esp. for that ridiculous price tag! You’re the only youtuber so far who highly praised the speaker lol….
@@sayemak99 I always say this, but your ears aren't the same as other people's. Reviewers can provide a baseline, but you should take a listen yourself to make the final judgement. Saying something sucks without trying it really is just jumping the gun. I definitely know who Flossy Carter is, I watch some of his stuff and some stuff I agree, some I don't. It'd be a pretty boring world if everybody thought the same.
@@Audiofied well that’s true, makes sense. But I’ve always relied and trusted flossy carter a lot so I was really confused. I think I should try this speaker demo first, but it’s not available anywhere nearby where I stay so yeah….and also this speaker doesn’t have active smart assistance like other smart speakers which is a big deal breaker haha
@@sayemak99 oh yeah, I’m pretty whatever with smart assistants so I didn’t really care, but if you’re big into using them then this speaker probably isn’t for you unless you’re okay with using another speaker or your phone for the voice commands
Trash speaker
