Sony Ericsson MBR-100 reviewed by Mobile-Review

Another nice review from Mobile-Review. This time they reviewed the Sony Ericsson MBR-100 Bluetooth Music Receiver. With MBR-100 you can play music you have saved on your phone trought external speakers without any wires. You can then play it in hi-fi quality by simply plugging the receiver into your hi-fi stereo or your car stereo and streaming the music on your stereo Bluetooth-equipped phone through the speakers.

With the W950 coupling delivered no problems, nor did anything else – music was beamed properly, the sound quality, as I’d expected, was mediocre. Also I tried to get the MBR-100 in gear in car, my impressions of quality are one line above. One more thing, if someone calls you music gets paused and you should answer the call in the usual manner.

According to the manufacturer the device lasts about 12 hours in playback mode and about 300 hours in standby. In practice it put up about 5 days with occasional shut-downs for periods of inactivity at 1-2 hours of music every day. Looks good? No, it is excellent!

The MBR-100 retails for about 65 USD, I strongly recommend it to all owners of handsets equipped with A2DP-profile, mainly in order to use it together with own headphones. In the case of non-Sony Ericsson-branded devices you’d better test the coupling capability before purchase. I repeat, in spite of being incapable of talking and managing playback, you will get a long-lasting gadget for listening to favorite tunes via custom headphones, which will be both cheap and reliable.
