Sony Ericsson's MS500 Bluetooth Outdoor Wireless Speaker

This item is for those annoying species of people who just can’t keep their music to themselves and have to blast off their music on others in public. Why should you limit you music to the confines of your headphones, when there are plenty of audible units willing to house it for you? The Sony Ericsson MS500 speaker is designed for the outdoor environment; The MS500 speaker is designed for mobility with a durable splash-proof shell, wrist-strap, and hook allowing it to be tethered to any messenger bag . The Sony Ericsson MS500 measures 113 x 83 x45 mm and runs for up to 5hrs on two AA batteries; it uses the Bluetooth A2DP profile for stereo streaming from a cellphone or PMP, and the AVRCP for remote control. It comes in a combo of orange and black or chic white and pink, the speaker has an output of 2W. According to the press release, Sony Ericsson's MS500 Outdoor Wireless Speaker "gives you the festival experience wherever you are or want to go". But this trendy little speaker isn't limited to festival related audio - you may want the clubbing experience, or the tranquil experience or even the moshing experience. The MS500 can handle it - it's been designed to satisfy your inner audiophile. You can even use your phone as a remote when streaming your music via Bluetooth. Previous portable speakers from the Sony Ericsson family have been decent pieces of audio kit, so it's presumable the MS500 will be no different. However, being small enough to fit in the palm of your hand and pumping out a mere 2W, of course means it won't be able to match the sound system you have at home, complete with subwoofer (if you want that kind of portable sound you'd better invest in a trolley).There's no denying that this is an eye-catching object, with those slightly retro looks, miniscule proportions and a hook that can attach to your clothing bag or person. Available in trendy orange and black or chic white and pink the MS500 speaker is the ultimate accessory for any dedicated pop rocker or dancing queen - small enough to fit into the palm of a hand and so light it can be taken anywhere and everywhere.
The MS500 speaker is designed for the outdoor environment with a durable splash proof shell and a handy strap which makes it perfect for attaching to a bag, or hanging from the wrist. This makes it an ideal outdoor accessory for everyday use and ensures your music will still be heard loud and proud.
The Bluetooth™ technology enables your phone to be used as a remote control to change tracks and increase volume, allowing you to just sit back and relax with music without the need to move. Simply connect the speaker to any mobile handset within a 10 metre range and in just seconds hear your favourite songs blast out, with clear treble and rich bass.
The Outdoor Wireless Speaker MS500 is compatible with most Bluetooth™ phones from Sony Ericsson and other brands.
The designer of the MS500 Wireless Outdoor Speaker, Leonardo Salzedo comments: “If I had to describe the MS500 speaker in three words, I would use the following; fun, compact and freedom. The word freedom has various meanings, as it refers to the speaker’s lightweight, small, splash proof shell, which enables you to take it with you everywhere and anywhere. No cables allow freedom of movement and a handy strap enables you to hang it from the wrist or attach it to clothing, so you have the ability to stylishly accessorise your life with music.
