Music as the artist intended
Enjoy the subtlest nuances of studio-quality sound with High-Resolution Audio via Wi-Fi1. Passion for music unites every component from signal to speaker, while advanced technologies such as digital upscaling help create the ultimate listening experience.
Superior sound by design
Easily boost the quality of your music with the SRS-X88 — the compact wireless speaker designed for High-Resolution Audio listening. Enjoy your music library whether it’s on your smartphone, PC or via music service. Two super-tweeters, two mid-range drivers, a subwoofer and two passive radiators add up to rich, immersive sound.
How High-Resolution Audio works
High-Resolution Audio refers to a collection of digital processes allowing the encoding and playback of music using higher sampling rates than those used in CDs.
Engineered for exceptional sound
Two super-tweeters, two mid-range speakers and a subwoofer work together, driven by a total of five high-powered amplifiers and made of premium materials—for results that will be music to your ears.
Reach the highest highs
Originally developed by Sony for high-end systems, the 20mm soft dome type super tweeters deliver the crystalline highs of High-Resolution Audio.
Magnificent mids
Enjoy crystal clear vocals with 40mm magnetic fluid speakers, where a damperless fluid suspension keeps secondary sound pressure from developing.
Bass that makes a statement
Feel soul-shaking bass emanating from the long-stroke 69mm subwoofer, and hear your favourite tunes with newly enriched presence.
Passive radiators for deeper lows
A newly developed dual passive radiator extends and enhances the bass response of the subwoofer for deep, resonant lows.
Savour every note
Traditional amps require multiple digital to analogue conversions—each affecting quality. The S-Master amp is 100% digital for more power without distortion, improving efficiency and reducing size. Enhanced for High-Resolution Audio, the S-Master HX digital amplifier reduces noise levels for the precision needed with high frequency ranges (above 40kHz).
Restore all your compressed files
The Digital Sound Enhancement Engine HX (DSEE HX) upscales your compressed digital music files (MP3, ACC, ATRAC and WMA) and takes them closer to the quality of High-Resolution Audio. By restoring the high-range sound lost in the compression process, DSEE HX produces your digital music files in rich, natural sound, closer to the quality of the original recording.
LDAC: High quality wireless listening
LDAC is a new audio technology from Sony that allows you to enjoy high quality wireless audio via Bluetooth. With three times the data transmitted2, LDAC provides an enhanced wireless listening experience for all your music.
Listen to music in another room
Let the same great song follow you around the house with multi-room listening, controlled via the SongPal app (version 3.0). Use SongPal Link to group selected Sony sound bars and speakers together, then stream music from different music services, a smartphone, a PC, or your DLNA network in multiple rooms throughout your home.
Stream music with Google Cast
Google Cast is a new and easy way to enjoy major streaming services including Pandora, Google Play Music, Deezer, and many more on your home speakers. Simply tap the cast button in your favourite audio app on Android or iOS, and select a speaker or group of speakers to get started.
Designed for however you listen
From your personal song library to online streaming services such as Spotify®, everything sounds better when it’s played through the SRS-X88.
Unite your music
Easy streaming control with the new SongPal app
The SongPal app allows you to easily and intuitively manage your listening experience. Simply install the SongPal app on selected smartphones to take control of music playback, device settings, and more–all through one app.

Digital connectivity
Equipped with a USB port to connect your Walkman, iPhone, iPad or iPod to listen while you charge, and another USB port to enjoy High-Resolution Audio from your PC, Walkman or Xperia smartphone.
Analogue rejuvenated
The SRS-X88 is equipped with an audio input for high quality listening of analogue sources with 96kHz/24bit AD conversion.
