I've owned the previous version the SRS x5 which was a good speaker with the battery lasting around 8 hours, this had a fault with the audio in not working so I replaced it with the SRS x55 which is supposedly meant to have a battery life of 10 hours. Well the first one I bought lasted 5 and a half hours, so i thought, this isn't right, took it back and replaced it and found the second one to be the same, maybe it was a faulty batch I thought but I'm now on my forth replacement from 3 seperate sources of this speaker and every one has never lasted more than six hours until the battery dies and I primary listen to audio books!
I do think that this is extremely poor; to bring out an iteration of a product and advertise it as having 10 hours battery life but it only lasting 6 max - worse than the previous version!
I more surprised than anything as my experience with Sony products has previously been so good, hence why I replaced it so many times. I'm really hoping that if someone at Sony reads this they can contact me to explain why this product does not perform to supposed specifications, I use this product while working as a HGV night trunker and it is extremely annoying not only for it to run out but to also then find that the car charger I had previously bought won't fit the X55 because Sony have slightly changed the size of the female AC in socket, I mean why?
An unhappy customer.
