Good sounding/looking speaker, with good reviews; http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-SRSBTM8B-CEK-Portable-Wireless-…
Ive heard one in store and it blows away alot of the similarly priced models.
BONUS - Micro speaker is nice, rechargeable battery. ($79.98 value :p)
Both Speakers NFC/Bluetooth.
Previously $109 @ DSE, https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/123086
Which I thought was good value, but I think $88 is a 'Deal'.
Great find, just bought one.
looks like a handbag
How does this compare to the TDK A73?
Another 5% off at Officeworks then I presume?
Will officeworks give SRS-BTV5B too ? The SRS-BTV5B sold almost $80 at DS.
thanks for the post, to think i was kicking myself for not buying the Sony Micro Speaker SRS-BTV5B at the airport duty free a few weeks ago for $70 lolz, glad that happened, just ordered one.
I've ordered also. After hearing that little one (BTV5) recently and being amazed at the sound it produces for its size, I have to go for this deal! Thanks OP.
sorry but I'm wondering why you think there is a bonus micro speaker??? It doesn't mention it anywhere on the page besides being in the first photo. I think it is only in the photo for scale comparison. I could be severely mistaken if I missed something but I'm gladly to be proven wrong so I can order one :)
Yeah, the web price doesnt really reveal that much about the bonus except for the 'advertised' banner - but its listed in the catalogue/ on the last page.

thanks for clearing that up!
thanks for the links guys, but of course I'm downvoted for a legit question. probably by the same people who would rage if they happen to not receive the micro speaker on delivery.
I got this priced match at castle hill jbhifi with no problem at all.
Before going to castle hill I was at black town jb and I showed them the catalogue and they said they can't do it for $88 because it was below cost and $120 is the best they could do it for without the bonus speaker.
Never ever going to go to black town jbhifi ever.
ordered and used $40 gift card from the gaming promo mess - $50 incl del. thanks esse …
I got one of these with my Xperia Z; the sound on it is insanely loud; they're a great buy, NFC works great.
What's the bass/kick like on this thing?
Just ordered this. Called up the good guys afterwards and they were going to just send out the main speaker. Until I asked them about the catalog offer, they then said I was eligible for it and added it to the order.
Call up and check so you don't get a disappointing delivery.
Thanks. Called the 1300 no. and verified that the item will be delivered with my main item. No one was picking the store phone no which will be delivering it to me.
Cheers for the heads up.
Sent email to ask and they were apologetic they missed sending it in the initial package.
good price and got one just now. thanks
Thanks OP. Got one.
As usual I don't know if I need one.
Same boat buddy :).
It might come in handy in the BBQ area or something…..
yea true.
I'd be keen to buy the micro speaker if anyone is looking to offload one. I'm located in Brisbane CBD.
it got quite a bad review though.
Must resist…. :(
"one of us, one of us, one of us……."
For those who have ordered this, you might want to follow up your order with an email. I did because in the confirmation and shipping emails I got it wasn't clear that there was a bonus item to be included. Sure enough I just got a call from the store who dispatched my order saying that they weren't aware of that either. They are now sending the SRS-BTV5B in a seperate package and were apologetic.
edit: beaten by adgum I see :)
I just called the South Nowra store and they told me that the bonus speaker is for IN-Store purchases only.
She was going to check with the manager again and call me back.
Considering the ONLINE catalogue shows the bonus speaker, I'll be pissed if they don't want to play ball.
It's actually a SONY promotion…

So it should be applicable everywhere!
Tell them you purchased from the online catalogue. I called the store and they have confirmed the promotional item with it. Call the 1300 number and verify else cancel the order.
They called me back and said as a 'Good will gesture', they will send it out.
What a load of bollocks.
Ha, yeah they'd get more goodwill if they didn't say that!
If any one want to on-sell the smaller speaker, I will be happy to get that. PM me please. I am in Sydney.
I recently bought one. Its very crisp and works well. If you want deep bass, go elsewhere (pretty obvious though). The little ball speaker is surprisingly good also. I paid $95 and thought it was a good deal, $88 just sweetens it.
Works perfectly with my Nexus 4 phone.

You guys got me worried.
I ordered online at 12:25 am, and received the order confirmation with the picture of the 2 speakers next to each other, though the description is mentioning the big one only. But the two subsequent emails from them confirming the order and delivery had only the picture of the big one.
I juST rang them, waited for half an hour before hearing a real human voice, and the guy checked, yet not able to confirm anything, then told me to call them back if I receive the package without the bonus speaker, that they will arrange to have one ready for me to pick up at a store.
Seems like link isn't working anymore…but you can still add to cart from the online catalogue which clearly shows the offer :P
Might be out of stock.
JB Hifi Modbury priced matched for me last night. :)
Did they include the mini speaker?
Yes, 'handbag' speaker + microspeaker $88.
Dick smith wouldnt price match bc they said it was below cost… Big w did though.
Can confirm it comes with the bonus mini speaker in SA. Arrived this morning.
Rang my store to check and they said mine was not shipped with the speaker. Initially they said they couldn't do anything and claimed the promotion was in store only. I persisted and he rang me back after calling their head office. They are now sending the mini speaker separately.
I'd say it's 50/50 whether you get it in an online order or not….
I'm in NSW but my order was sent to WA for some reason. Called the store, he didn't know about the promotion but said he would "get it sorted for me." I'll wait and see what arrives.
Same thing happened to me. I'm from NSW but mine went through the Joonalup store and I called to ask about the speaker and he said he would sort it out for me. But the handbag speaker arrived this morning with no mini speaker…Will be calling them.
My order allocated to the Campbelltown store arrived today with the bonus mini speaker included. Mind you, I called the customer service line the day before to confirm and they were very helpful and confirmed it was to be shipped with the bonus speaker. Hope everyone's orders were just as seamless.
price matched at Harvey Norman. Thanks for post!
Received order today from the Oxley store. Mini speaker was not included. Called them - they said they would call me back later. They returned my call roughly two hours later, confirming I should have received the mini speaker, and that it would be dispatched. I asked if it could be delivered to my Brisbane address, they confirmed modification of address.
Received a call roughly half an hour later, the worker said they passed by my BNE address on their way home and asked if it was ok if they delivered it for me… of course I said yes. :P
I got BOTH speakers delivered yesterday. Happy about that.
Must say, I like them. A good buy. Thanks OP. :)
Mine arrived today from Albury though I am in Vic. Only the main speaker. Rang and was told the they will speak to the store manager on Fri. I am mad now. I did call their 1300 on 19/12 and was told to call them back if I dont get the bonus one.
Mine arrived this morning, we were heading to a relatives house for a swim today- we were all pretty pleased with the performance of both speakers. Not bad at all for something of its size and portability.
Nice find. I bought one of these recently for a similar price without the bonus speaker.
The main speaker has pretty good sound for it's size.
