Product Gallery
Product Overview
Sony SRS-RA3000 is a premium wireless speaker that projects a large, room-filling sound stage, thanks not only to its array of three drivers but also to Sony's unique audio processing technologies.
Hi-Res Audio certified, the SRS-RA3000 features 360 Reality Audio and Immersive Audio Enhancement, which are Sony's proprietary algorithms that improves audio reproduction with a single wireless speaker.
As a premium model, the SRS-RA3000 supports not only Bluetooth but also WiFi connectivity. It can be added to a speaker group via Google Home or Amazon Alexa. Via Bluetooth, owners can also connect it to their smart TVs.
The SRS-RA3000 is also humidity resistant, making it suitable for humid environments such as in the kitchen or the bathroom.
Alongside the SRS-RA3000, Sony also launched the larger SRS-RA5000 with seven speakers at CES 2021.

Reviewer score 48%The Sony SRS-RA3000 has a fantastic soundstage that can be perceived as wide and spacious. It has a balanced mid-range that ensures vocals and lead instruments sound present in the mix. However, it lacks a thumpy and rumbling low-bass and the slight underemphasis in the treble range can make higher-pitched voices sound dull.
