...and that's how they get you. The Sony brand adapter is listed at $39.
I had Sony speakers before, but they did not have the option of adding batteries or plugging it in...so the output was minimal. I decided that I needed speakers with more power.
Initially I bought these speakers because they looked really nice, were made by Sony and were cheap. I guess none of that made any sense when I initally used them for music.
Before buying these speakers, I purchased the Sony passive speakers for $6.00. Those were absolutely terrible.
These speakers have been trying my patience from the start. Direct mode (no power source) is useless unless the speakers are next to your head. The moment I added a power source (either with batteries or the Sony AC-E90HG adapter), the buzzing noise was present and would not stop.
These speakers are ok, they do not go up that loud and they do not sound that great!!! I would not get them i would spent a little bit more money and get something better.
How good can a $20 pair of speakers sound? For critical or primary listening applications, it's not a question worth asking.
If you set your expectations low enough, you just might be satisfied. Sony SRS-A27 speakers aren't worth $14.99 let alone $19.99. With only 1w per Speaker, don't expect to much.
When I was looking for a pair of powered portable speakers, I looked at this pair from Sony, as well as a couple selections at Radio Shack, all for the same price of $19.99. Compared to the Radio Shack speakers, the Sony has these pros and cons:Pros:
Pros:
For under $20 these speakers do their job. They get loud, and that's probably their best quality. They are pretty clear, but there is no bass.
