Customer Ratings & Reviews

We like this speaker so much that we had to buy another one. It's really easy to set up and the app makes it a lot of fun. The sound effects and the ability to sync up with the lights can really take your party to the next level.

I bought this for my husband for his birthday. He loves it and my son does as well. I must admit I’m in love with it too! It’s easy to pair with your phone. It’s loud and clear! The best purchase ever!! I would highly recommend.

I gave it a 4 star because I thought it would be louder dont get me wrong it is loud and sounds very good batt. life works good even thought I have not fully tested it to the limit yet. I got mine black fri. sales and it was worth the deal.

It’s a nice speaker. Holds a good charge. If you’re looking for a larger Bluetooth speaker this ones good. I use it in my house while playing board games as background music. I like the portability of this speaker.

This is absolutely perfect for our at home dance parties. The lights are a big hit, and I like how it goes with the music. The sound is loud and clear. I cant wait to use it in the backyard this summer!

When have you ever bought anything Sony that wasn’t great? I never have any trouble with their products. This range of speakers are outstanding, cool, and can take a little punishment if they have to. Best boom for the buck you can find.

We love our Sony High Power Bluetooth speaker! I got it for my husband for Father's Day and we have been using it all the time. The sound is clear and the lights are like having your own dance party. Highly recommend this speaker!

This has got to be one of my best speaker purchases. I am just so thrilled with owning this speaker. The volume output, the easy to carry, bluetooth pairing, just everything about this speaker is A-OK.

The carrying handle makes it easy to take the speaker from place to place. Great sound.

Great price on this speaker. A little bigger than previous speaker but not super heavy

Sony always makes a great product. Love the sound and bass that this produces. The light show is fun at night or if you dont want it you can turn it off. Best thing is you can use it anywhere for 14 hrs without having to recharge it. Great set up.

We purchased these to use outdoors. The bluetooth connection worked well with our phones and the sound was generally good. Sound improves greatly with two speakers. Relatively lightweight and portable.

Audio quality is nice, especially with the option to turn off the extra bass. However, the lights do get a little annoying after a while but can be turned off manually. Overall, easy set-up and nice audio, but a little too expensive for the quality.

Going to be great for our frisbee shows. The dogs are rocking to the music.

Sounds real good and the sound is amazing.. I am content with the speaker

Bought 2 of these speakers about 2 years ago, sounds great, battery last a good 8-12 hours on high volume. Had to get a 3rd for my son's bbq party and paired easily with the others. Great speaker by Sony.

We use this at our camper at the beach. It is awesome. Really puts out some very clear sound. We haven't even turned it all the way up yet. The lights are a cool touch.

Down load the amplifier ap and the speaker will rock your house love it.

This speaker works great, it’s loud enough to hear over heavy machinery.

Just call it a party in a box. That's the best way to describe the Sony GBK-XB60. They call it a home audio system but that's a bit too mundane. It's actually a hefty black speaker cabinet with party lights built in and an interesting collection of features that allow you to take it to where ever you want to party, and then amaze your friends with a few interesting tricks it has up its sleeve. First off, this thing is BIG and quite heavy. Almost 2-feet tall and nearly 18 pounds. So it's not one of those cute little bluetooth speakers that you drop on a tabletop next to your laptop. This thing is clearly clearly designed for people who want to fill a room with sound, something it can do quite well. The sound IS big, if not the cleanest thing you have ever heard coming from a bluetooth speaker system. Four speakers in the cabinet provide a pretty decent blend of highs and lows. And if you turn on the EXTRA BASS feature, you get a pretty good tump out of it too. Just be aware the sound quality drops off pretty dramatically if you crank it up extra loud. You can do that with the speaker plugged in to a power outlet or running off of the built in batteries. Even at high volumes, Sony says it will last 3.5 hours, which is pretty good. Five hours if you are willing to settle for a little less, enabling the "stamina" feature. And an amazing 14 hours at what some might call normal listening levels. Pretty darn good. Recharging takes four hours. Like most bluetooth speakers, you can run this off your laptop, tablet or smartphone. Pairing is especially fast if you have a phone with NFC built in. Just lay the phone over the N emblem and pair using the NFC phone menu. Sound quality is pretty good for bluetooth, but much better if you have something you can plug in via the USB port on the back. If it's just a USB flash drive, however, you have no control over the song mix, or even the ability to skip songs, unless you also download the Sony Music Center app. Then you can actually see what's playing and skip songs. The same app also works in conjunction with another oddly named app called "Fiestable," which allows you to control the light show colors and pattern, to some degree. Even stranger are some "DJ" options that allow you add stange sound effects, drum beats and do other odd things just by waving your smart phone one way or the other. Crazy. Speaking of lights, yep, those are built in and are what help this to add some flash to your next party. Strobes at the top and bottom and an oval ring of light cricling the speakers that can be any color, or multiple colors at the same time. You dont have a lot of control over it though, beyond choosing between a frenetic RAVE setup for high energy music or more placid color shifts for more mellow tunes. The strobe lights flash in time to the music while the color lights sort of just do their own thing. But its still a pretty cool show. You can turn them off (or run them without an music at all). But that's half the fun so why would you? Oh, I forgot to mention there is the cabability to hook this up with other speakers, either using dual RCA jack cables or wirelessly. The wireless option, however, requires another Sony device that supports the companuy's "party chain" setup. That could get expensive. And as if that is not enough, you can plug in a microphone and turn the thing into a PA system. Or even do hands free phone calls via bluetooth. It's an odd collection of functions but one suspects most people who buy this just want the party in a box. And even if you only use if for that, you probably are getting your money's worth. It may not be cheap but it can be a lot of fun.
