I bought this speaker because it was supposed to be Bluetooth compatible. I have had no luck connecting via Bluetooth to my Sony VGN-FW series laptop.
Every indication is that the speaker/laptop are paired, yet have not been able to get ANY sound from the setup. I can however get diminished sound if I hardwire the speaker to my headphone jack on the laptop.

I love the concept of this (listening to streaming news in my room while my PC is in my office) however my computer can’t decide which to use — my larger speakers connected to my computer via headphone jack or the bluetooth speaker. Now, nothing works. It’s very annoying and I cannot figure out how to make the bluetooth work. It’s receiving the signal from the PC, it’s enabled and it’s selected in the “sounds” section of control panel. Just no sound is coming from it. It works with my phone too, but the PC is far more complicated for some reason. I’ve tried another laptop to no avail..all sony products. very odd that sony has created something that does not automatically sync with a sony PC.

First, my Mac thinks that it is a headphone type device, so it cuts out the headphone jack on the Mac when this is in use. Next, there is a lot of static when it was in my bedroom about 20 ft away and going through interior walls (but the doors were open and it had a line of sight to the computer). The other thing is that the Mac wants you to choose these every time you power them on or off. They aren’t automatically detected and start playing music.
I had to run a headphone cable to these speakers and it now works the way I want. But it kind of defeats the purpose of having Bluetooth. Look for other wireless speaker options if you need it to be wireless. With the 3.5″ headphone type cable plugged in, I can turn the power on and off and they play at the same time as all of the other audio speakers I have in my house and they don’t sound too bad.

I have a Sony VGN-FW465, and a Nokia cell phone both with blue tooth capability. Havn’t tried the phone yet, but it sounds great with my laptop. I followed the directions and paired the two then set the sound default to the “Blue tooth headset” If you have audio going you must close it then reopen for it to switch to the new device. Again though once set up sounds great. Very clear and rich for a 30 watt speaker-box. My one complaint is that the the AVRCP (remote volume control) for this unit is not supported by my computer. Since it doesn’t come with a remote I have to turn it up and down with the button on top manually.
On a side note I am not sure why battery life is a measurable attribute on here. the device comes with a 12v adapter, but does not run on batteries.

I purchased this Sony Speaker for my bakery so my wife and i could listen to music linked to my cell phone. Linked to the phone the bluetooth connection is flawless and easy. Sound reproduction is very good for such small drivers. Bass is as expected not great. For the 80ish dollars I spent I was, and am very pleased.
However, when linked to my laptop for Media Player use or internet radio there is an irritating linking issue. Difficult to link occasionally this way.
For use with a phone/media device Great!!!
