    Its just ok. I was skeptical mainly because the specs do not mention watts. Whenever it is not listed, its usually because the speaker is weak. Without listing the watts, you are left to read reviews of how loud it is, but everyones version of loud is different. It suits my individual needs. I would recommend for a small gathering, especially where music is not the main focus. One speaker works great for a bbq/cookout. My kids use it while playing basketball and football outside. For a party, i would recommend at least 2 speakers paired together in order to have a good time. Overall, this speaker didn't hit me as its advertised, but its still ok. I wouldn't return.

    Sony XB72 is Vision of How Music Will be Played

    The future is here with portable/home audio. The Sony GTK-XB72 high power home system with Bluetooth Tech is that future, right now. The Sony XB72 is a mighty sounding speaker system with various ways to connect to your smartphone, CPU, USB, 3.5mm jack, wireless TV, RCAs and just about anything with Bluetooth/NFC (Near Field Communication). A couple of Sony smartphone apps help to control the sound and lighting. The Sony XB72 can also be connected wirelessly with other XB72 models for an even more impressive house filling sound. Well, that is the short of it, now I will get more in depth with the details that makes this Sony XB72 so special. • Once I unboxed the Sony XB72, which only took a couple of minutes, I hooked it to my Bluetooth on my CPU. It literally took 10 seconds for the Sony XB72 to play music once the two were paired. A voice comes from the speaker and lets you know you are connected, them paired. This is one of the coolest features. The Sony XB72 has Bluetooth connections that allow you to pair with smartphones, tablets and music streaming like Spotify. I have my Sony XB72 hooked up with my Bluetooth on my CPU and smartphone. I play the music from the CPU and smartphone with no wires and brilliant sound. • The sound is clear and precise from the speakers inside the unit. The speakers are 2”x 3 tweeters and 6 3/8”x 2 woofers and really provide soaring highs and punchy, tight sounding bass. Talk about bass! When the Extra Bass button is pushed, the sound goes deep and is omni directional. It instantly fills the area with amazing sound. When the Extra Bass is off, the Sony XB72 still sounds great, but you will miss the extra bass!! • There is a LIVE button on the top of the unit. It puts out a live sound that covers more area with music and a wider gamat of space. I personally didn’t care for the LIVE sound. To my ears it made the music sound hollow. • Use the Sony Music Center app to adjust the EQ and other options that you can use to make the sound better based on what device the music comes from. The EQ is a 4 band plus bass band to help set the music to your liking. I really like the sound without any adjustments on the EQ, so I left that option alone. • Do you karaoke? There is a mic plug in where sing through the speakers of the XB72 till your heart’s content. This is always a great option for parties. • The lights on the unit are very vibrant. They appear in different colors that sync in time with the music. There’s also 2 strobe lights along with the others lights that really get your attention in a cool display of color. The lights are a nice feature for a party or just hanging out with friends. You can hook up the lights on your smartphone with the fiestable app. Colors appear on your smartphone that correspond to the Sony XB72. It is a unique feature, but watch your battery life on the colors, it drains the battery. • Plug your favorite USB with songs to play them on the Sony XB72. You can also plug in your smartphone or tablet as another option to play music on the Sony XB72. And you can charge your smartphone or USB device directly connected the Sony sound system. • You can hook up to 50 compatible Sony speakers to get some wild and amazing sound! No cable or wires, it is done with a touch of a button to sync the speakers. If you use just 2 units you can actually make the stereo sound. One unit is the right and the other unit is the left. A cool reason to get another one of the XB72. • There is also a radio antenna. Just pull it up from the back and listen in to your favorite station. I don’t listen to the radio hardly ever, but it is nice to use if that is your thing. • You can also stand up the Sony unit or lay it on its side. The XB72 knows how it is arranged and can adapt the music to fit the setting. When standing up, the unit actually has tilt upward. It will not lay flat against a wall, but with the tilt the music isn’t eaten up by the floor/carpet. This Sony XB72 is the first music unit to address this problem by providing an angle. • There is even more ways to enjoy the music coming out of the XB72. The DJ mode lets you modify the music with a Flanger, WAH and Pan. The Flanger sounds like the “roar of a plane.” The WAH sound is that of the frequency going up and down. The last type of DJ sound you can hear is the Pan. The Pan represents music that sweeps across the unit. These setting are really cool. They add a different distinctive sound that is at the very least interesting. I can’t say if I have a favorite, but you might when listening to the DJ mode! • Want to answer your phone on the XB72? You sure can through Bluetooth and a built in mic. This way you don’t have to on your phone, you can just answer it conveniently through the unit. The overall weight of the unit is about 27 lbs, but the XB72 has two handles that make carrying it pretty easy. It is about 26” tall, 14” wide and 15” deep. If you are short on space you can stand it up or lay it down according to your preference. The Sony XB72 is a great way to party with music. It has numerous ways to connect, change or edit the sound. The 2 apps make it fun as well. To be honest I am not sure of the wattage, but I can tell you it can easily fill house with music and your party goers a lot of enjoyment. The Sony XB72 is the future of boom boxes and micro systems a like. The Sony XB72 combines them all in a neat carrying unit with music synced lights and sound that will blow you away!

    I bought this to provide some background music for my wedding, and have continued using it on a regular basis. Easy to use, and excellent sound quality. I would recommend this to anyone that enjoys sitting on the porch listening to music.

    I love the speaker and the App. The speaker has a tweeter a midrange and a subwoofer. I believe it’s a perfect house the only thing I wish it was cordless. The app has many DJ type features when your playing your music that you can change a variety sounds to mixes and fades.

    I am defiantly digging this speaker! Only have three issues, 1. Price 2. Wired & 3. Bass And all three of these things, in my eyes aren't deal breakers but considering it's wired, the price point could have been lower. And the bass could have been better. The live setting is pretty dang cool!

    It bought this speaker for my workouts, chores and playing my drums along with. The sound is very smooth and great bass but it could’ve been a little louder you know, just Incase. The total Watt power is like 450, they don’t specify but that’s just my best guess Incase you’re wondering.

    Awesome speaker. I used this outside for my varsity soccer team so they could listen to music during warmups. The sound carried very well. Bluetooth setup is very simple. I’m actually looking to purchase another to chain them together.

    This is a great product. I orchard one without the box or manual so the only downside to it is it is not one of the battery operated models like i thought it was. I also could not get the chain link operation to work with my other model.

    I have owned this product for about 4 weeks, The sound is good quality in my opinion, what ever it's worth. I don't like the lights blinking all the time, whenever I use it while watching TV, the lights are still blinking, wish I could turn them off.
