Sony's SRS-BTM30 Bluetooth speaker now FCC approved

Remember all those stereo Bluetooth devices Sony unloaded a few months back? Yeah, those. Well, if you're the type who thinks that streaming music over Bluetooth is a good time then you'll be more than stoked to find the FCC seal of approval now affixed to Sony's 6-watt, SRS-BTM30 Bluetooth speakers. These speakers support the A2DP profile of course and will pump audio for 15-hours off 3x AA alkalines according to the user manual posted on the FCC site. And yeah, you can control the volume wirelessly as well just as long as your audio source supports the AVRCP profile. But you already knew that, right? Otherwise, go ahead and anchor yourself to the AC wall jack and the line-out from your fave audio device, the BTM30 likes it both ways. Already loosed in Japan so with any luck, they'll be showing up Stateside on the quick for right around $100.

The first set of speakers looks very nice.

just bought one here in HK. Going back to get my money back tomorrow.

The sound keeps pausing every 5 seconds and the quality gives a weird vinyl slow-down/speed-up sensation when you play music. Also, there's a loud digital noise when the volume is up and nothing is being played. I've tested it with my mobile as well, just to double check the problem is not my Vaio.

I hope it's a defective unit... Otherwise, Sony is losing me as a loyal consumer.

BAD!

Ridiculous! Sony's website suggests it should be used inside a cave or some sort of nuclear shelter.
You can not have a WLAN nor other bluetooth devices in the same place of this faulty hardware. So you must choose between using the net, having a BT cel phone or listening to music with these speakers. Even if your neighbour decides to heat up some popcorn, you won't be able to use it.
