Sony Ericsson MS430 Brings Travel-Friendly Speakers to Audiophiles

— October 21, 2011 — Tech
Since most people like to travel with their MP3 players, why not share the music with others with the Sony Ericsson MS430?

The Sony Ericsson MS430 is a portable speaker formed in the shape of a cylinder. It's a simple plug and play device that's cordless and easily slips into the pocket. The MS430 is constructed from aluminum that gives it a slick smooth finish while making it durable at the same time. Because of its shape, this will prop up your device at an appropriate angle so that you can change songs without having to pick it up all the time. Since this is a portable speaker, don't expect it to fill the room with sound; however, it'll do just fine if you want to share music with a friend.
