GTK-PG10 can churn out up to 13 hours of playback via Bluetooth. When using it as an FM radio, you can also use the app as your tuner. You can also access services such as Google Play Music and Spotify directly from the app. It’s a cool feature and all, but so far, I only managed to get it working when I’m in the app. You can also access your entire library and play songs from the app, set the sleep timer, or even issue voice commands.įiestable, an add-on on top of the app, also lets you control playback and adjust volume using gestures. I personally just add +2 to treble, and that’s it. This can be done separately for music and video content. You can tweak the sound signature by choosing from a set of pre-defined profiles, or by adjusting an equalizer. Music Center, the companion app for this speaker, is a must-download, as it gives you access to a features and settings for customizing the device to your liking.

The speaker supports LDAC, a Bluetooth Codec for higher than usual audio quality It’s pretty common in some smartphones, such as the Huawei Nova 5T that I used for testing. You can sort of tweak the sound to your liking by selecting from a number of presets, or the custom Equalizer built into its companion app, which we’ll talk about later. Mids showcase good clarity and detail, and highs demonstrate just the right sparkle and brightness. Bass is evident, but is slightly recessed. When the equalizer is set to flat, the GTK-PG10 sounds very balanced. The good thing is it does that without any sign of distortion. It can handle up to three connections from different devices via Bluetooth.Ī word of caution, this thing goes loud, and I mean very loud. I was able to go as far as around 10 meters with a wall included before experiencing cuts in the sound. Whether via Bluetooth using a smartphone or a dedicated audio player, from a USB drive (USB port can also charge devices), or directly from the source via a cable.Īs far as consistency and stability is concerned, I have not encountered a single drop in connection ever since I started using it a few weeks back (via Bluetooth).
GTK-PG10 caters to just about any input method you want. The speaker itself bears the Sony branding, with a touch of craftsmanship. Opening the covered panel reveals a USB port, audio in port, and microphone jack, for your karaoke party. There are also buttons for adjusting the key of the track that’s currently playing, the microphone volume, echo, and for activating Mega Bass (you can press and hold this button to check remaining battery). You get dedicated controls for volume, skip and previous track, which also acts as the search buttons when the device is being used as an FM radio. Up front is a small screen for showing a limited amount of information, such as when Mega Bass is ON, or what mode the device is on. The port itself has a rubber seal to protect it from dust and splashes. Top panel is also splash proof, and has provisions for a couple of cans or glasses of drinks, the center will act as a table for your food.Īt the back of the device is a power port if you want to re-charge it, yes, this has a rechargeable battery in it, or you want to use it plugged-in. When folded, the position of the tweeters makes for a sound-quality that’s more focused on clarity as well as detail. When deployed, the tweeters are placed on the side, and the sound quality is more suitable if you need coverage for a wider area. What’s unique about this design is that the top section is actually made of two sections that fold, making it look like the speaker has wings and is ready to fly.
It’s not feathery-light, but the weight is more than manageable, especially with a handle on both sides. GTK-PG10 isn’t exactly the most compact speaker, but it should perfectly fit in your car’s boot, ready for a long travel. This isn’t just your typical boombox, it’s also a karaoke machine, a Walkman, a radio, and a lot more. Then here comes Sony with the GTK-PG10, a wireless speaker built by a brand with an outstanding portfolio for audio devices. A lot of brands have promised such, but most of them have failed.
#Sony speaker gtk portable#
A device that can deliver exceptional sound quality, and at the same time, is portable enough that it can be easily carried to anywhere.
That’s why it’s very important to have something ready to liven things up in a snap. Whether it’s a simple get together with friends, or a a product launch, having the right sound at the best quality is essential to setting and maintaining the mood. Music is an integral part of just about any event we go to.
