Sony SRS-ZR5 review

(Rating Hidden)

Sony SRS-ZR5

The wireless Sony SRS-ZR5 is capable of impressive audio performance for its size—and can pair with another speaker for stereo separation.

Good sound but lacking easy group / ungroup functi

Not very user friendly

The speakers are fine. The multi room option is difficult to set up and use so I've given up. If you use them as rear surround sound rear speakers and then want to use the for multiroom it takes far to long to set up. Why can you only set up multiroom...
