Customer Ratings & Reviews

The lights and sound are amazing. We even hooked this up to our tv so that we could have karaoke nights. We love this speaker. Great for the family room, Bluetooth compatible, fun lights and wonderful for entertaining.

Wao this is an excellent Party Speaker. It very Loud. Its sounds travel up to 300 meters or more. Very very loud. But the only problem is the the Bluetooth doesn't work with my Samsung galaxy s21 ultra phone and it doesn't work with my Samsung galaxy tablet S7+. I used my second phone, Nubia X to play U-tube music on it and its Loud. Sincerely speaking, It's Louder than JBL

My wife likes to set up and host special occasions for people we know “holidays, birthdays, weddings, etc.”, and wanted a decent sound system to take with her because everyone she’s helped never had a large enough sound system for their event. Unpacking and first thoughts: Didn’t know how big the MHC-V71 was actually going to be but once it was delivered we knew right away it was going to be big due to the weight and size of the box, “my wife could fit in it :) “. The speaker itself was well packaged inside and covered with a foam wrap protecting it. With it was a manual, remote control, FM radio antenna and some batteries for the remote. Our first impression was “wow look at the size of this”, it’s huge, and not your old style boom box by any means. The control panel itself is heavily populated by controls with a small display that shows settings. The center of the control panel has a motion control area and was covered by a sticker showing what the different setting do. We removed that sticker as it was just paper but it was stuck down so well we weren’t sure if it was meant to be left, it’s gone now anyway. There are built in casters at the back of the unit and hand holds on the sides and back making this pretty easy to move. Without casters it would be a chore moving it around so we’re glad Sony thought of adding those. Trying out: Set up was really simple, just plug it in and turn it on. It started out in demo mode and we played around with that for a while getting use to the controls. The party lighting will be perfect for the events she helps host and they always have karaoke events at these, seeing this is a built in option made it even better. Features: This system has Bluetooth built in, so we downloaded the Sony music center app off the Google Play store, and this makes using the speaker a lot easier as there are a few functions not available on the remote that the app supports. This new speaker system is loaded with features, it has a built in disk player that accepts both CDs and CDRs for playing music. There’s also a USB port for playing music off a thumb drive. I put some albums on a 32gb drive and tried it out. The system found all the files, but its a little clumsy figuring folders and titles with the built in display, using the Android app made this a lot simpler. There are jacks on the back for standard RCA inputs and a built in FM tuner that worked really well as long as the included antenna was attached. There are also two microphone Jacks on top of the unit, one of those can be used to attach a guitar and use it as a guitar amp “we won’t be tying that out ourselves”. The dual microphone jacks will come in handy as most of the events she helps host them have karaoke and they like using two microphones if available. The party lighting is pretty novel, there are light emitting units at all four corners giving a complete surround effect and the lights flash along with the music pretty accurately. When we saw the advertisements for the speaker we thought that rainbow lighting was just for the advertisement. It actually looks like that in person. There’s also some lighting in the bass and mid-range speakers as well. This can be shut completely off or customized a little with the Sony app so that either all the lighting is on, only the speaker lighting or nothing at all. One thing that I was surprised to see is you can put a music CD in the player and have the system transfer the music from that to a thumb drive. This makes it very easy to back up your CDs to a thumb drive. Sound Quality: We’ve sampled music from various artists from heavy metal to easy listening and the sound quality greatly depends on what sound setting you pick from the pre selects with the “Sound Field” button. We were able to adjust everything to our liking and achieve excellent sound quality, there are quite a few options to choose from so it will take a while to remember what each one does. Volume wise this can get really loud, actually very LOUD it will easily go past 100db, and will fill the small event halls they usually use without a problem. I also have a Bluetooth transmitter hooked to my projector and the sound during movies was clear, vivid, with plenty of bass. During action scenes you really have to be careful what you have the volume set at as it can really shake things around especially with Mega Bass enabled. I never had to set the volume past 20 during movies, and it does go up to 50 on the scale. She’ll be using it around 40 for the events she’s hosting so there’s still plenty of room to go higher if needed. If you are looking for an all-around sound system that can be used for home theater, karaoke or looking at hosting events and you need a simple to use all in one system this may be what you are looking for. The sound quality is excellent and there more than plenty of bass and volume. There are so many features included with this system it should meet and exceed most everyone’s needs.

Sony MHC-V71 High Power Home Audio System - “Thunder . . . and lightning?” At least that’s the explanation I’m going to offer if the neighbors call with questions. This is very serious sound production. Good Grief. I wondered before I plugged anything in if the sound would be loud enough to fill a small club or dance party. Now I’m wondering if this beast would shake apart a stone wall. More practically, I could see these SONY systems showing up in Fraternities/Sororities, large house parties, or as sound reinforcement for a small club music venue or performer. These SONY MHC-V71 systems are easily linked via hard wire or Bluetooth. And SONY added wheels for easy relocation. PERFORMANCE / SUMMARY: You are going to see the word “loud” a lot. The SONY does NOT need to be played loud to sound good, but it’s so tempting and it’s sure to be used where its capability will be tested. I’m expecting to loan it out, often. The Sony V71 is capable of huge volumes, serious bass, high clarity sound . . . and the light show is club-quality colorful and spectacular. I’m not sure why more of the bright and attractive light show wasn’t directed upwards, rather than towards the floor. But, you can completely control it with an App or choose to turn it off. All types of music sound great, and this would make an ideal sound system to accompany an outdoors movie projection night (party lights off, of course). There are a lot (13) of preset EQs, including a custom one controlled by the SOUND FIELD button. I’m working my way through a number of the inputs, and music from my CDs (MP3 and Audio), iPhone, tablet and direct wired have all worked fine. You can play selections in order or SHUFFLE music files on the USB or DISCs. I’d suggest setting up a pre-organized show, but it’s pretty easy to manage various media inputs with some experience. Using the Apps, described below, resulted in some unexpected interruptions in my music when I switched between the Apps or modified some feature or another. This is probably more about my lack of experience, or it may suggest thinking ahead before making some types of changes. Still discovering. I exceeded 105 db (live rock band levels) at 1 meter (large indoor room). I wasn’t willing to keep cranking the volume from up close. That large, nearly 12” woofer and the 2 pairs of midranges and tweeters are designed to broadly distribute sound around the listening space. SETUP / INPUTS: *** There is SO much going on here. The instruction manual doesn’t even cover all that is available behind these controls. I’m giving an abbreviated overview, and it’s already too long. I’ll focus on the top panel of the SONY Audio System, while the remote and the SONY Apps add two more entirely different approaches to using the SONY MHC-V71 . The good news is that most of these features are intuitive to use . . . and you’re unlikely to break anything by just winging it. *** The viewing display is easily read from above, even in a darkened room, because the controls are all backlit. It appears to be water-proof, with the inputs protected by a tight rubber cover. There are quite a few controls. Many of the most used are repeated on the remote and are also available using a phone/tablet App. The SONY Music Center App controls most sound, media, and content functions. There is another, FIESTABLE App that works with the Music Center App for DJ effects, light, Gesture control and Karaoke control. On the MHCV71 panel there is a MEGA BASS button for added bass, a FIESTA button to bring out a special echo effect. There is the large gesture control. You have control over the light show using the PARTY LIGHT button on the top panel and also the Fiestable App which has an infinite variety of adjustments. The full list of INPUTS includes: pairing a Bluetooth device such as your phone or tablet which has your music library (up to 3 simultaneously); the built-in FM radio; <c> a USB device with compatible files; <d> a MICROPHONE connected to one of two inputs for Karaoke play; <e> a guitar (using one of MIC inputs); <f> the built-in CD player (audio Cd or CD-R/CD-RW or MP3 files); <g> using the AUDIO inputs L/R from another source (TV/or another V71. (Which also allows chaining together any number of these. FINAL THOUGHTS: The SONY MHCV71 is really big. It is capable of LOUD, clean sound for a broad range of venues or settings where portable music reinforcement is desired, and it is expandable for more flexibility. I’m not sure what else is out there that can do what this SONY can do, and all in one package. You’ve got to see this in action. And, you’re going to want to add a microphone (or 2). Great fun.

This machine is awesome worth every penny! The sound is amazing ! Singing Karoke is great! The light show is awesome! Glad I bought it!

i love this thing great sound , cool lights , you can even plug in your guitar and mic into also has cd player and dj features and wireless controls are cool too

I love my speaker. I love that I can Bluetooth on it. Definitely love that it has a CD player. Sound is amazing

Love it the sound, features like cd, usb, Bluetooth in one unit..

This is one AMAZING speaker! I fell in love with it during a recent Best Buy visit. I like my music with a good amount of bass and this does not disappoint in that department. The sound is crisp and the features are great. This speaker is worth every penny!

Some very cool components and features. Sound is fantastic! Mega bass really thumps. Some of the features are presented as really amazing, but are only ok. Overall, this does what I wanted. The light feature is really cool and circular around the unit. Wish it project out further, vs being the center. The only real issue I have with this system is the wheels. 1, it’s great that it has wheels. They are helpful as the unit is heavy. 2 the wheels are not all terrain. Works fine on concrete, but are so small you really have to tilt the unit a lot. Overall, I’m pleased.

My entire family loves this new sound system. It gets used a lot by my teens to host group events from church and school. The system is big, and unpacking requires following the box instruction to avoid any accident. It came well packaged and in include a few accessories (FM radio antenna, remote control with its batteries). The system does not include a microphone. My first use of the system was with my smartphone connected via Bluetooth. I listened to a ton of music, and I enjoyed the sound quality. With the Mega Blass enabled the sound system produces heavy bass that would be very useful for group listening. My teens enjoy using the lights and the Karaoke option. They have so much fun using the Gesture Controls while they sing. The system has two 3.5mm microphone jacks, one of these jacks is also a guitar amp (haven't tried it). My son and I have lots of fun playing the Taiko game. The game is simple, while the system plays a piece of music you tap the top panel according to the lighting guide pattern that appears on the surrounding of the gesture control sensor. The system scores based on the correct taps. So far, my son has the top score. The Taiko mode can be used to play different types of drums while listening to music. The system plays audio CD, CD-R/RW, MP3 files on disk. It also plays some types of audio files on a USB device. For larger or multi-rooms events, the system has on the rear panel terminals to connect it to other speakers. The bottom wheels make for easy transport over smooth hard surfaces. Overall, my family and I are satisfied with this home audio system. The sound quality is good, and the max volume is loud enough for most home events. This device will provide hours of entertainment.

This is a very loud, clear sound speaker. I conected to the tv and was a great sound especialy for the football game. It has a lot things you can do and play. The lights are very nice and people always ask for the speaker.

All around it connects easy with my devices very clean sound

This speaker is very powerful, and you can connect it with many Bluetooth devices

Was pleasantly surprised How loud This Speaker Was - It’s Cool You Can Use It Outside As Well

Spending a few bucks on something like this is not ordinary for my family. However, we do entertain more than we used to and a DJ is just impractical for us. This met our needs and then some for a large party. We really enjoy the rich sound for our genres of music. Bass doesn’t blow you away but the clarity at high volume is amazing.

I have the the 21 and I must say this has really blown my mind this is one of my best purchases I love everything about it it was everything I expected can't wait to shop again

First let’s start with the excellent packaging. I really felt like the product was and will be protected from any potential damage during shipping. The speaker is built of high quality and is huge. The wheels are convenient, however, you should not roll the speaker with the power cable connected as it can be damaged. I personally think the lights is one of the best features of the speaker as they created a cool club like environment. The lights also react to the pace and beat of the music where they blink faster depending on the genre you are playing. The bluetooth worked with no issues. There is actually a voice that verbally notifies you once connected to a bluetooth device. I played a bit with the Taiko mode but I honestly don’t think I will be using this feature much, but a nice addon to have as it can be use while playing music. The inputs are great, however, I wish they had an XLR cable input as this speaker could be used to DJ a small party. I’ve read other reviews rating the sound quality cheap and at first, I did agree with them but after playing with the settings I determined that the sound quality is not so bad. I connected a Pioneer DDJ-SX DJ controller and adjusting the highs, mids and bass really brought out the potential sound quality of this speaker. I know not every typical potential buyer has this capability but for an honest review of the totality the sound gets a pass from me. I’m glad that the top is splash proof as I can see someone at a party possibly dropping liquid on it. The multiple CD format player is a good feature, however, I no longer use CD’s and only listen to music in a digital format. The speaker also comes with built-in radio tuner in case you just want to listen to radio station. This thing is loaded with features not only to DJ but it can be use for Karaoke and you can also connect musical instruments. I’ll see myself hosting more house party without the need of DJ rental. Overall, Sony’s speaker is great for a party or event indoors or outdoors. If you take it outdoors, I would recommend an extension as the power cable is not very long.

I love this speaker, the sounds lights the look can’t wait to have guests over

Very pretty light sound amazing I can use all my cds loving my new sound sistem.
