Sony Ericsson announced today the launch of its MS500 outdoor Bluetooth speaker, which has been designed to offer users both exceptional sound quality and a cool design that would be able to impress. The new MS500 speaker is announced to come in two color schemes, namely orange and black, as well as white and pink.

According to the company, the new speaker is meant to be a great accessory for users no matter the music style they enjoy. The device is so small that it fits in the palm of the hand, while also being light enough to allow users to carry it with them wherever and whenever they want. The new MS500 speaker has been designed for use in the outdoor environment, so it features a durable splash-proof shell, as well as a handy strap that allows users attach it to a bag, or carry it hanging from the wrist.

The Bluetooth technology enables people to use their mobile phone as a remote controller for the speaker, allowing them to change tracks and increase or decrease the volume of the device while eliminating the need to move around to do so. The speaker can be connected to any handset within a 10-meter range so that favorite songs are played loud and clear. The Outdoor Wireless Speaker MS500, says the company, provides compatibility with most Bluetooth phones from Sony Ericsson and can also be used with handsets from other brands.

“If I had to describe the MS500 speaker in three words, I would use the following; fun, compact and freedom. The word freedom has various meanings, as it refers to the speaker’s lightweight, small, splash proof shell, which enables you to take it with you everywhere and anywhere. No cables allow freedom of movement and a handy strap enables you to hang it from the wrist or attach it to clothing, so you have the ability to stylishly accessorise your life with music,” stated Leonardo Salzedo, the designer of the MS500 Wireless Outdoor Speaker.
