Excellent For All Day Music
We’ve been using this for several months and it’s my favorite indoor speaker. I’ve always used an Amazon Alexa or the portable speakers from Sonos or JBL to listen to music in the house and this is a huge upgrade. I didn’t know what I was missing!Sound quality is great. I have it linked up to my Alexa and can stream directly with my voice, or I can switch it to Bluetooth mode with the press of a button to stream from my phone. It provides excellent ambient music at levels but can really get cranking when you want to pump it up. It features a “surround” mode that is supposed to make it more immersive however k find it sounds better with that option turned off . I’ve always wanted to get a full surround system set up, but my wife hasn’t approved that for our living room, so this is a great alternative.It also looks great, with a beautiful design. There are some quirks and connection issues with the app, but if you want a single speaker to fill your room with music, you can’t go wrong with this one. You can also hook it up to your tv if you have a Bluetooth enabled steaming device (like fire tv) or a Bluetooth dongle, and it is an upgrade over my Sony sound bar. Simply put, I love this speaker and am considering adding another one to a different room.

Fine
When it first arrived I honestly was unsure if I would keep it. The sound didn’t sound quite right to my liking but after playing with the app that connects to this speaker it became a much better listening experience. Don’t use the EQ settings that the app has pre-saved! Choose the custom one and tweak it to your liking and it will be a better listening experience! I also have the Sony WH-1000XM3 with a custom EQ and I used the same EQ settings on this speaker which made it sound clearer with slightly more bass.The Sony 360 Reality/Immersive Audio Enhancement button experience was not all that. I tried Amazon Music Unlimited with Sony 360 Audio Reality and although you can hear the artists voice better, the songs sounds flat and much more quiet. I don’t think it’s worth it at this time but I do see it getting better in the future. Just stick with stereo once you tweak the custom EQ to your liking. The only time I use the Immersive Audio Enhancement button is at night when I’m watching Golden Girls for my nightly routine so it’s not too loud for my partner and it’s easier to hear their voices.This speaker is not bad at all. I actually want another one but only at the right price. I don’t think $400 for this speaker is worth it at all! I got it when it was on sale at $200 which is a much better price point for this speaker.

Great speaker for the price.
This speaker is amazing. Perfect for my room. The ambient room-filling sound is awesome. Everything sounds so clear and life like.I plan on buying a second, maybe a third just to get the full effect of the room filling sound.Its an awesome speaker for the price.

Terrible
The sound quality doesn’t sound as good as the JBL extreme 3, in fact I can’t even tell the difference between 3-D off and on.3-d seems extremely exaggerated honestly a good equalizer could achieve the same quality that this speaker tries to put out, it doesn’t really seem to have much of a advantage over just about anything that I could think of, on top of that it doesn’t even really seem to be portable, I couldn’t get it to turn on without it being plugged in even after charging it.I tried setting it in the middle of the room to see if I can get it to sound as 3-D as possible and honestly I could tell where it was coming from the whole time.doesn’t really seem to project or adapt to its environment at all. at this price tag you could have a really really good sound bar, you could have A really nice pair of bookshelf speakers or just about anything at this entry level you could have a some thing better honestlyI’d stay clear of this this thing it seems to be kind of silly

Definitely not worth $400, but a great value at $100
I bought this for $100 renewed from Amazon. I also have a Homepod and a Google Home Max. This Sony doesn't sound as good as those two speakers and doesn't have a built-in voice assistant, so I don't know what Sony is thinking by pricing these at $400. However, compared to the $100 Nest Audio, Homepod Mini, and the Echo, this Sony sounds significantly better. I'd say the sound is in the $150-$200 range. So the RA3000 is a good deal if you can get it for $150 or less.I couldn't test or use the RA-3000's headline feature - 360 Reality Audio since you need to Tidal or Amazon Music for it to work, and I use Apple Music. I was able to use the other audio trickery algorithm - Immersive Audio Enhancement which makes the sound field noticeably wider and more spacious. I like it and have it activated, although others won't like it and will leave it off.Overall, I'm happy with the RA3000 at the price point I paid for it. I gave it two stars for value because the normal selling price is $400.

Loud! Full Bass!
*It's to be noted that I returned this speaker but only due to the fact that it was too much for the room I had in it. The room size was 14x15 and the speaker filled it with ease. I was able to acquire a smaller speaker with enough volume to fill the room and also the other speaker matched our color scheme a little better. If I had a garage or building to put this in I would have totally kept it.Great speaker with all around full sound. Lows, Mids, Highs were all near perfect on this speaker. I could feel the beat in my chest on the other side of the room (size of room stated above).

Great speaker but pricy
This product sounds great. But you can have near three nest audio speakers for the same price with approx. the same sound quality.I appreciate the product but the price appears high compare to competitors.Note: Add your TV soundbar&subwoofer with your chromecast Google TV in a speakers group make an incredible ambiophony experience.

Worked for a year, but is slowly disassembling itself.
I bought this speaker as a "like-new" refurb from amazon (~$300) to emit bass-heavy whitenoise while I sleep, about a year ago. Speaker is fine, sound quality is pretty good, bass is a bit light for my taste, but a custom equalizer in the sony music app helps, features are good, though the chromecast can be resistant to a connection sometimes (connects after 3 or so attempts) After a few months the plastic framing began to rattle (loudly) when the speaker was above 50% volume. More recently, it has begun to emit a whining high-pitch sound as though one of its internal components is loose, when the speaker is played above 30% volume after around 20 minutes.It still sounds fine for normal music, maybe in the garage, but for its purchased purpose it has actually become a hindrance rather than a sleep-aid. Regrets.

A very good speaker
This is an excellent Bluetooth speaker from Sony the music is very clear I play my I tunes music from my Sony NW-505 Walkman and I can adjust the sound to suit my preference.I am surprised how such a small speaker can fill the room with sound I am very pleased with it's performance.

Not that impressive
Having other Sony 360 Reality Audio products (Wh & WF-1000 headphones and earphones), this was my least favorite. Sound wasn't tight, and had come connectivity issues. Had to send it back.

stopped wifi connection with amazon music
This speaker worked for a few weeks with a wifi connection with amazon music. Yesterday, amazon music could not identify it as a wifi device. I reset the speaker, unplugged it and plugged back in, disconnected and reconnected to wifi, but still amazon music could not identify it as a wifi device. Bluetooth still works.360 sound is interesting, but now really wow, and for some recordings it just adds distortion/reverberation. Sound quality is OK but not audiophile, and I don't know how it compares with other standalone wifi speakers like sonos and amazon echo.For the price and the sony brand, this problem should not have occurred. I think its a software issue with sony or amazon music, but regardless, it doesn't connect by wifi with amazon music anymore.If you have amazon music, dont buy it. for other music streaming services, good luck. I returned it.
