Sony MHC-V50D Home Audio System

The Sony MHC-V50D is unlike any other typical home audio system, thanks to the plethora of features on offer, the lighting effects, the sheer size and the powerful sound. If you?re looking for something loud and party-friendly at home, the wide range of connectivity options and pure attack to the sound makes the Sony a fantastic device.

Sony MHC-V50D Home Audio System is not affordable, but it isn?t a small and inconsequential product either. It?s a fun, unique product that is great value if you need something loud and aggressive for your home, and certainly puts many other similarly-priced products to shame with its set of features and its five full-size drivers.

For pure audio connectivity, it?s possible to use either the CD drive for audio and data CDs, as well as USB, Audio-in, HDMI, FM and Bluetooth. Along with Bluetooth, there?s also NFC for quick connectivity to source devices, and you can record playback to a USB drive as well. This will come in handy if you plan to use the DJ features. More on that later.The control panel for the Sony MHC-V50D is at the top of the device, with most controls in the form of a touch-sensitive button. The power button and volume dial are the only physical controls on the panel, and a small display at the top shows you the current setting or any other relevant playback information. The controls are fairly self-explanatory, including the DJ functions which are basic but will appeal to amateur DJs who like to control things at house parties. You get options such as the flanger, isolator and scratching using the volume dial, and you can do a bit more using the Fiestable app for smartphones. It?s also possible to connect a microphone for karaoke. While a lot of these features didn?t appeal to me personally, it certainly helps to have these on board as they could come in handy to someone.

Home audio products come in all shapes and sizes, and you can get you?re a speaker that?s anything from pocketable to furniture-replacing. Of course, the bigger they come, the louder they punch, and there are definite advantages to having a good single-box home audio solution than buying individual components such as speakers, an amplifier and a media player. One such solution is the Sony MHC-V50D home audio system.

And a home audio system it is, indeed. With plenty of features, a five-driver full-range speaker set and all kinds of connectivity and source options, the Sony MHC-V50D is an impressive product on paper. We?ve reviewed it extensively, and here?s what we think about this unique product from Sony.
