SeekerSony SRS-RA5000
The Sony SRS-RA5000 is alright for music. With its room correction feature turned on, it has a relatively well-balanced sound profile, making it suitable for listening to a wide variety of music genres. Its well-balanced mid-range ensures vocals and lead instruments sound present in the mix. However, it struggles to reproduce low-bass, so you can't feel the deep thump and rumble typically present in bass-heavy music. That said, there's a graphic EQ and presets you can use to tweak its sound to your liking.

The Sony SRS-RA5000 is one of the first 360 Reality Audio speakers on the market, bringing spatial audio to a compact Bluetooth speaker form factor. The speaker can turn your living room into a concert fairground – replete with boomy bass and echo-y vocals – but lacks clarity and tonal balance offered by other high-end Wi-Fi speakers.
