Sony SRS-T80

Stylish on-the-go speakers with added oomph

Travel speakers are never going to make you believe that Norman Cook is playing in your fleapit hotel room in Ibiza, but that doesn't stop manufacturers from making bold claims about their sound quality. Sony describes the output from these ones as "rich", which is a bit rich in itself if you ask us. In truth, they sound tinny, just like any other set of travel speakers we've ever heard. Nevertheless, the unit is reasonably small and does look stylish. It also has a built-in amp so you can crank things up reasonably loud, but the stand on the rear is a bit flimsy. Overall, though, the T80 puts in a respectable performance.
