Customer Ratings & Reviews

This thing is way nicer than what I needed! I quickly needed something for a 50th birthday party and this one was on sale with pretty good reviews. I should have paid attention to the measurements as it is larger than expected but man can this thing kick out some sound. It started to get quiet after a couple hours but once we plugged it in, it was like night and day! I was blown away with how well it filled the party hall with sound. The mega bass is a nice feature but I do think the sound quality is better when that setting is turned off. The other two nice features are the easy carry handles and the fun lights on it.

We've owned Sony party speakers for years and this one does not disappoint. We use our speaker both inside and outside and their is not a lot of difference in the sound quality. Being able to turn off the lights at night is a bonus, too. I considered by the large speaker which has just more tweeters. I'm glad i didn't. This one has great sound and is still portable enough to throw in the car for vacation trips and have plenty of listening time. We've had this speaker for about a month, and would definitely purchase again.

You can buy the crap on wish or dome other site for under a $100. But the sound does not compare. Instead of spending a thousand dollars to retrofit my semi to have decent sound, I bought this. The cheap speakers will distort if you turn them up all the way, but sony's technology make sure the sound is always crisp and clear. Whether i'm gaming on my m s I laptop or watching a movie on my z.Fold 4. I am able to Bluetooth the sound from all devices to my Sony XP-700. Also the same app that controls my Sony WF1000XM3 Earbuds controls the Sony XP-700. With the app I can turn it on and off. The speaker can sit powered off but on standby. Or you can choose for it to turn off after a few minutes ftom Bluetooth disconnect. When on battery mode....not plugged in....the sound output drops a very small amount. It's only noticeable if you're right there as it happens. I was lucky, I found mine on bestbuy.com on sale for $438.00 after tax. I picked it up in store. I like my new dog. I love spending time with the wife.........sorry got distracted. If you have a device that can put out decent sound other than the phone, or computer, you're looking this up on when you watch the video, you can hear the sound coming through. Volume on video was at 80% well gosh darn....will only let me upload pictures. https://youtu.be/qPAe7EX0Kac?feature=shared here is a link of vieo from my youtube channel.

This speaker can be very loud with very very deep base. Sound quality is always excellent with Sony. Played it loud for 3 hours unplugged and did not drain battery. The best outdoor wireless speaker I’ve ever purchased.

Sounds great. Connects great, lights are fun! Outside suggestion to put near a wall if possible to let sounds bounce off wall, out in open although still loud and sound great, not as loud as inside! Definitely recommend!

This thing blew my expectations away!!! Massive amounts of bass!!! Using in a new construction 2400sqft house and the walls literally vibrate at half volume!!! Absolute powerhouse, I got it on sale priced the same as the Bose, there's just no comparison if your looking for bass and crystal clear vocals! Plus charges my phone via USB, lasts about 16 hours with the mega bass option on, lights off ... If you don't mind something heavy were you can drop it anywhere and not have to worry about someone grabbing it or leaving it anywhere! Hard to miss! A+ for Sony!

Got this last year after doing much research. Sound is incredible battery life is also very good . It is a little heavier then i would like but the sound is awesome. I live on a lake and when we are swimming in the summer i have this jamming on our dock probably to the dismay of our neighborhood. Would definitely recommend to anyone look a buying a quality outdoor speaker. Definitely worth the price tag . Just buy and enjoy.

I love my speaker its loud and has great sound easy to pair with bluetooth no problems and battery lasts a long time.

Great sound. Powerful bass and maybe a little too much. Running it in battery save mode helps a bit with this. A little heavy but battery lasts a few hours

I brought it as a birthday present for my sister. She loved it. It is very loud. You can host a party with the speaker. Definitely a great buy. Stays charged for long. Great for cookouts and outdoor functions. Definitely recommend for someone who likes to play music. As a matter of fact I so get one for myself.

I bought this years ago and I always take it with me when I go camping, get togethers and even just to listen to music outside my home. People always compliment it and I’ve had a couple of friends buy it for themselves. Overall very happy with the purchase.

Looking for an outdoor wireless speaker with solid battery life and excellent sound output look no further than the Sony XP700. With an IPX4 rating, the rain does not mean the party has to stop. With onboard ambient lighting to set the party lighting. It’s so massive it has 2 handles to give you a nice workout from carrying it around. With x2 X-Balanced speakers, x3 tweeters in the front, and x1 tweeter in the rear the SRS XP700 is able to provide a venue with filling sound. The rear tweeter allows it to provide an omnidirectional sound with a nice deep punchy bass provided by turning on Mega Bass. It’s a loud clear sound that goes well with every style of music you listen to. This type of sound is expected from an X-Series speaker, and Sony does not disappoint. There’s also a Live Sound option that is supposed to mimic an outdoor event. Overall, there’s plenty of options to adjust the sound to your liking. One of the extra features I like was being able to get 3hrs of playback with just 10mins of charging. Charging is done via a power cable. The good thing about this is no additional brick to carry around. I would have liked to have had the option to charge via USB C. Now, some of the I/O options you get are x2 USB A ports that can be used to charge your phone or plugged in a storage device like a USB memory stick to playback your music files. There’s also an aux input for wired connection for much better sound quality, and what’s a party without some Karaoke? Well the SRS XP700 has you covered with a mic input and guitar input. Whether you want to sing to your favorite song during playback or playback your guitar solo you can do both with the SRS XP700. There's also a knob for each one to adjust the sensitivity. Overall, Sony does a lot of good things with this speaker to justify the high price. It’s a solidly built speaker with IPX4 water resistance protection from spills and splashes from a light rainstorm. The sound quality is not only top-notch but can get very loud no matter where you sit. It does this while it still manages to provide a solid battery life. If you're someone that throws a lot of parties or just likes to be able to jam out loud to their favorite songs. Take a hard look at the SRS XP700. “Reviewers in this invitation-only program are provided products for the purpose of writing honest, unbiased reviews.

I love this party boombox. Not too big and not too small. I use this as my theatre speaker when we watch movies in our back yard using my outdoor projector. Connects easily with Bluetooth. You will love the movies with great sound and big screen in the back yard wall. My grand kids enjoyed karaoke a lot. For family fun and with friends enjoyment, this is the best boombox since no worries if you don’t have power outlet !!

Love this speaker and has made so many night parties a blast. We often pla party games with friends and stick this thing in the corner playing music and man does it fill the entire house with music. The bass options are very nice as well. Extra points for the option to turn the lights off, they can be distracting at times. The battery life is amazing on this thing as well on the very few occasions we've taken it to the beach.

This speaker can be used for music from your phone, MP3 player, do karaoke with it or even use as a guitar amp!! You can even charge your phone with it! This speaker is a little over 2 feet high and about one foot in width and weighs in at around 37 pounds. It can be used either by plugging it in or charging it and taking it with you anywhere. It isn’t water proof, but is splash resistant. No big deal if you get caught in the rain. The control panel is on the top where you can turn it off/on, Bluetooth your device, turn the volume up and down, fast forward and turn the Mega Bass on/off. The back has a plug for your audio devices, a mic input (you can use for karaoke) with volume control, a guitar input with volume, two USB ports, and the power input. It also has three buttons for turning the light feature off/on, party connect (use this with other compatible Sony speakers) and a battery care button with a voice that tells you know how much battery life you have. You don’t have to look at a gauge to figure out much life is left in the battery. This is a multi-directional speaker. It doesn’t matter if you are in front of it or behind it, you will hear clear sounding music. I have had this speaker in the house with the windows open, the volume about half way and could hear it crystal clear about 20 feet from the house. If you turn on the Mega Bass, you can feel the walls of the house shake. I prefer the Mega Bass on and if in the house a bit lower volume. The sound is amazing. If you don’t like a lot of bass, just hit the button to turn it off. There are two ways to connect your phone or music device to this speaker. You can either Bluetooth it (need to be within 10 feet of it for this to work) or you can use an audio cable and plug it into the back. The battery life on this speaker lasts about 25 hours. if you do not use the light feature. With a quick charge you can get approximately 3 hours. I have other Sony compatible portable speakers and with the app you can synch them and have speakers spread throughout your house! The Fiestable app controls the party features. I downloaded this app to control them, but you must have the Sony app to be able to do this. There are so many things you can do with this speaker that you can’t do with other speakers. It would be nice if they designed wheels on the back to move the speaker around to make it more portable. It is big, but VERY sturdy. Once in place there won’t be any accidents knocking it over, unless you are a gorilla. It may seem a little pricey, but this speaker is well worth it.

I was looking for a speaker to use while we were camping. I bought this and couldn’t be happier. The sound is great. Plenty of bass and high end. I’m using it all the time even at home. There are 2 USB ports to charge your phone or other battery operated devices. I have used it all day and haven’t run out of battery yet. I just plug it in overnight and it’s ready to go all day the next day again.

This Sony SRS-XP700 Portable Bluetooth Speaker has blown me away. Even from the moment I hit the power button, and the warm, deep welcome tone sounded, I sensed this speaker was going to be good. Linking to my phone couldn't have been easier, press the bluetooth button on top for 5 or so seconds and then look for it in the bluetooth setting on your phone. Fired up a recent favorite of mine 'Hurt - by One Desire'. The bass was instantly punchy, you could feel it in your chest and your furniture! I was not expecting so much bass from a completely wireless bluetooth speaker. And it is constant bass, it doesn't fade as you turn it up. There appears to be some kind of witchcraft going on inside this speaker! The set up consists of front and rear tweeters for room filling, omnidirectional sound, and x-balanced main speaker units combined with Sony's infamous 'MEGA BASS™' system providing a pounding soundtrack. This speaker handles all genres of music thrown at it with ease. The x-balanced speakers are a unique Sony development that enable to keep the bass punch at higher volumes, without sacrificing clarity. I have a very open living room with 22ft ceilings, and this speaker absolutely fills the space with a hall like sound, at only half volume. And the beauty is, that being omnidirectional, the sound is everywhere, you can walk around the house and while you know where the speaker is, it is not 'obvious'. There is just sound in the room. The speaker does come with a power cord, so you can run it plugged in, but if you want to take it away from the electrical grid, the internal battery lasts for around 25 hours, without compromising the sound quality or that incredible bass. And if you need to 'top it off', a quick 10 minute charge gives you an additional 3 hours of playback time. Great charging technology included in this astounding speaker. There is a button in the center on the back that when pressed gives you a voice prompt of the battery life. Along the handle and the base are discrete LED lights that dance and flash along with the music, but they are also completely controllable using the Sony 'Fiestable' app which is a downloadable companion. Install the app and then you can go in and change all sorts of settings on the speaker for full LED control. You an also sync to your phone to use it as an additional light source. You can turn the LEDs off with a button on the back, or using the app. And talking of apps, download the Sony Music Center app for complete control of the speaker. You can adjust many settings from the app, including the MEGABASS, Live and Custom equalizer to tune the speaker to your liking control over Bass, Mids and Treble exactly as you want it. You can also see a complete and accurate battery life indicator here. On the back under the IPX4 rated cover, there are controls for gain and volume to use this speaker as a karaoke speaker or as a guitar amp, to make this speaker a complete all rounder. Imagine that - hook up your guitar and just take it wherever you want for a full days worth of sound. There are two USB ports under that cover as well, so you can bring your own flash drive with music on it, OR you can create a wired connection to your phone, which not only gives you audio clarity, but also charges your phone from the internal battery. This speaker is so versatile! On the top are some simple buttons to play/pause, connect to bluetooth, turn on/ff and control the MEGABASS. These are rubberized to maintain its water resistance. This speaker is NOT waterproof, but water resistant so it can be used near a pool without fear of it being splashed, or having drinks spilled on it. But it cannot be submersed in a pool for example. And also on top is a long slot, which is designed as an iPad/iPhone stand for when you want to have full control using the apps, or if you want to use the speaker in Karaoke mode. A useful addition to the top of the speaker. Inside the speaker is a motion sensor, and it has rubber feet on the base, but also along one side. When you change the orientation of the speaker, the speaker adapts and switches the orientation of the tweeter output to maintain it's phenomenal sound. There is a slight pause in the music as the sensor adjusts (half a second) so that you know the sound orientation has changed. You can pair this speaker to another one, and assign it a left and right channel, to give full stereo sound, OR just use them both as a 'party chain' to fill an even larger space with sound and light. As far as portability, yes, it is completely wireless, but with it's internal battery and unique speakers system, this speaker is not light at a little over 37lbs including the battery. You will be using both carry handles as you move it around. But all in all, I think that is a small price to pay for the incredible sound and stamina that this speaker has. The Summary: This is absolutely, the BEST wireless, bluetooth, portable speaker I have ever used. I've been blown away by it from day one, the sound is incredible, clear, strong and very bass heavy, which I personally love, it's so versatile and acts as a 'complete system'. Highly recommended!

This speaker has been exactly what we were missing at parties. We enjoy how portable it is and apprecuate the sound qualty. The lights are a nice touch. If the spx500 sounds this great i bet the spx700 sounds even better. We plan on buying two more of these to connect them to make sure the music can be heard everywhere. I recommend this speaker if you are looking for good sound quality without committing to a bigger purchase.
