Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great sound, lights can be on or off, and excellent portability. Battery life is great, too!

I took a chance on the open box excellent price for this speaker. It came in all original packaging with factory 1 year warranty. I wanted something portable for the beach on my truck tailgate so i went with the smaller 25 pounder. This thing is awesome!! I had a sonos move that was stolen out of my truck. This speaker blows it out of the water!! You cant put this speaker on a kitchen counter but anywhere else in the house is amazing and the bass is out of this world. A must buy!!

I almost included a picture of a toddler next to this speaker to give you an idea of the size. I'm over 6' tall and the top hits at my thigh. All that size and weight lets Sony do ridiculous things with this speaker such as: blow the doors off a party, double as a guitar amp speaker, help the aforementioned toddler conduct impromptu karaoke sessions, and basically just bring what equates to a full-on multi speaker setup installed in the ceiling of your patio but without any wiring because it's sitting on the ground. To start, the bass on this puppy pounds. Overall sound signature is clear across the range, but it definitely has the capability of overwhelming the neighbors a couple doors down (or maybe create a sudden dance party). Indoors the lower volumes provide plenty of clarity and should you kick it up to 50% volume or more, your kids will probably question why you're trying to blow out their ear drums. Personally I love the interactive lights but love the 25 hour battery life even more. I wouldn't be surprised at this price if I had to stay connected to a cord, but the fact that I get splash resistance and portability means this monster can come out on the friend's boat and easily makes him question whether he really needs to spend money on a sound system. I can see this being a great budget PA for things like band camps, cheer camp, etc... while providing double duty when you want to throw on some music during breaks. I literally can not speak highly enough of this speaker. It's not often that I'm this impressed by some piece of tech, but this reminds me of when I first listened to a reference audiophile set in a home theater setup. It's not that it specifically is audiophile quality but more so when you listen you realize that what you assumed was the best before was actually just a 7 or 8 and you have a new 10 when it comes to portable bluetooth speakers. Connectivity was easy, and the Fiestable and Music Center apps provided clean interfaces that made whatever I wanted to change intuitive. There wasn't any guessing as to how to change light colors or turn them off if you needed to go a bit more incognito. I sadly didn't have a second one to try party connect but the desire is very very strong to pick up another to do so. Considering what it would cost for worthwhile speakers for the patio ceiling between hardware, electrical, etc... this is no-brainer alternative.

I had been looking for a speaker for a while for my garage. I tested every one at my local Best Buy. The sound quality, volume for a large area, and portability was great for the money spent. The closer for me was when it was priced $100 or more cheaper than every other similar sized speaker. Then I had to buy it!

great sound. easy to use and good battery life. nice lights

WE use this for youth after school programs. This means it is on all day, every day at as loud a volume as we allow, and louder when the kids think they can sneak it. It has held up well and is very loud with no distortion. The bluetooth stays connected well to a wide range of phones and carriers.

This has good bass and perfect sound very loud and the lights are a nice touch to the party

Before deciding to buy this Sony XP700 I had watched a bunch of reviews that compared it with the JBL Partybox 310 and 710 models. The majority of the reviews recommended the JBL models over the Sony XP700 so I went to Bestbuy with every intention of purchasing one of the JBL models recommended. When I arrived at Bestbuy I say demo models of both the JBL and Sony on display. My instincts told me to test out the demo models to hear how right the reviews were that I had watched online. Today, I am truly grateful to Best buy for having those demo units in the store because I got to try out bothe the JBL 310/710 and Sony XP700 and based on what I heard and felt I had no choice but to buy the Sony XP700. Yes the JBL models had a better light features but I was so impressed with the sound clarity and deep rich bass from the Sony XP700 that it was a "No trainer" for me to get the Sony XP700. It's been a month now sine I been enjoying all my genres of music on the amazing speaker from Sony and I have totally enjoyed it every day. My advice to anyone wanting to buy a good quality Bluetooth speaker: go over to Bestbuy and have them demo the ones you like but be sure to also listen to the Sony XP700.

Great product for its price. Once paired Bluetooth automatically syncs to your device. Great bass if your into edm or rap. Crisp sound on when listening to alternative rock. Last, treble is outstanding along with instrumental sound. It also has 2 mic outlets if that’s your thing and acoustic to hook up your guitar. “Party mode” which I haven’t really looked in to but overall the sound is amazing.

The Sony XP700 absolutely blew me away. The sound is powerful, clear, and punchy, with deep bass that you can actually feel without drowning out the vocals. It gets impressively loud while staying crisp, which makes it perfect for parties, outdoor gatherings, or just filling a room with great music. Battery life is excellent, and I love how sturdy and premium it feels—built to last and easy to move around. Pairing was quick and seamless, and the lighting effects add a fun vibe. Sony really nailed it with this speaker. Couldn’t be happier with my purchase!

EXCELLENT EXCELLENT SOUND SYSTEM!!! A MUST FOR ANY OCCASSION. EVEN WHEN THE BASS IS OFF IT HAS A HEAVY SOUND, LONG BATTERY LIFE, GREAT LIGHTING SYSTEM. OVERALL POWERFUL SPEAKER AND AMAZING SOUND! A DEFINITELY RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING FOR THAT NEXT LEVEL PORTABLE SPEAKER SYSTEM.

I am a music guy, I have a Bose in my man cave/ theater room, but let me say, this Sony box is right there with my Bose system, out of respect for Bose, I won’t say better, but the bass on this system is unprecedented, with a bass boost that you don’t even need, oh, and I have this in my Bedroom, which will play through my home, and I did purchase the warranty, I want this around for a very long time, hopefully this will help you make up your mind, love you, Awesome God we serve!

Listen, if you are hosting a family bbq, wedding, graduation party, tailgate, or just want a solid outdoor battery powered speaker to pair with your projector for outdoor movie nights...this is the one. Great value for your buck, latest Bluetooth tech for minimal to no lag with videos. Gets loud, has solid bass and defined high and mids too. Don't delay, buy it.

The Sony XP700 X is a monster speaker with impressive sound. Out of the box this speaker is huge and a bit heavy (37.26 lbs.) This makes sense because of its two 6.7-inch mid-range drivers and four tweeters. One of those is backward firing for its marketed “omnidirectional” sound. Mid-range drivers are square shaped to offer a larger diaphragm surface area. Twenty-Five hours of battery life is remarkable for its size and speaker array and justifies the weight. To accommodate the weight, the speaker boasts two large handles which are comfortable and ergonomic. Entire build is made of solid plastic. Front grill is substantial metal and is not removable. Rubber feet on the speaker’s side allow it to be set horizontal as well as vertical. Nine-inch slot in the top of the speaker allows for a phone or tablet to be set there securely, cool. IPX4 water resistance means the unit is protected against splashing water but is untested against solids. Bluetooth pairing is simple and flawless. Speaker connection appeared on my phone as soon as I turned it on. Rear of the device has an IO panel with a power port, two USB ports, two ¼” jacks, and a 3.5mm jack. Both USB ports can charge devices and one can play music. One ¼” jack supports a microphone and the other supports either a mic or guitar. Guitar sounds good with the speaker but gain knob could not push the electric guitar to clip. IO panel is enclosed by a rubber seal which is water resistant. Top of the unit has power, Bluetooth, play/pause, volume, and a “mega bass boost” button. These buttons are large and offers tactile feedback. Party connect, battery, and light buttons are on the rear of the unit. Lighting is reactive to your music and is very stylish. Battery care feature prevents overcharging and prolongs battery health. Party connect allows up to 100 Sony compatible speakers to be linked together in concert to fully be immersed in Rock or Smooth Jazz. Sony Music Center app allows for extra customization of this speaker. You can choose a preset EQ or you can create your own. There is also a ClearAudio+ option which is “Sony’s recommended sound setting for music listening with one simple operation.” There are also DJ effects including isolator and flanger. There are also a myriad of power and lighting options. The app also shows the exact battery level of the device. If you are looking to “Live Life Loud” the Sony XP700 will rock your world. will rock your world.

I bought this for by the pool. Charged fast and lasted all night. It was a bit larger than I planned. The mega bass sounds amazing, bold and crisp sound. I haven't tried any of the other features yet. Well worth the money.

So this thing is great!! I didn't know what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised. First thing I should mention is the weight. Weight = Heavy!!!! Be very aware of this. You have to put some respect on your body to move it. But you can in fact move it, obviously. It has a bar on top and a bar on the bottom (if standing vertically). Because of this, it would have been helpful to have two bars on top (opposite) each other so that I can lift it easier in the vertical position. But it does have a bar on the bottom, so you can lift it horizontally using both bars. By the way, you can sit it horizontally as well, and it will adjust the sound. Setup was super easy. Turn it on first (power button on top). Push/hold down the bluetooth button on top and then go to your device and search for the bluetooth, and then connect. This will make the bluetooth button show a solid blue light. Up top, beside power and bluetooth, you also have play/pause (this button also does skip back/fwd), volume down, volume up and Mega Bass. Those top buttons are actually greyish white in color. They really should have done the same thing for the buttons on the back. I really don't know why they kept the buttons on the back the same color as the unit. It is so hard to see/read which button is which. My goodness. That is actually very annoying (my teeny Sony bluetooth player does the same annoying thing). Continuing with the back... you will see the following buttons: Party Connect (to connect to other compatible Sony bluetooth players to hear music from all connected to the "Party," Battery (to let you know battery level), and Light (to turn the lights in front on/off). Yes you get a light show in the top and bottom of the front of the unit that tries to light up to the beat(s) of the song... it tries. Also on the back in an enclosed panel that includes two USB ports, AC port for the power cord, Audio In port, Mic port (along with a volume knob) for karaoke, and Mic1/Guitar port (along with a volume knob) for connecting a guitar or other mic. So much you can do with this! The sound quality is GREAT! The sound is full and produces good bass! This is an amazing unit. Really. I fully recommend. Peace.

I been looking for a speaker like this for a while and I came across this Sony speaker and I blow my mind the sound is perfect and is portable to take anywhere and it doesn’t weigh that much I do recommend to everyone

Do yourself a favor and go compare the sound of this portable speaker with the others in the store. The others are not even close in clarity and depth of bass. For the price, volume and wuality of Sony this is an unbeatable choice.

The Sony XP500 speaker exceeded my expectations! Its powerful sound quality and impressive bass make every listening experience truly immersive. The sleek design and long battery life add to its appeal, making it a must-have for music enthusiasts on the go. Highly recommend!

This works great for what we need it for I don't recommend it to be travel speaker. It does have some weight to it and no wheels. sound is awesome and karaoke is very easy to set up. Bluetooth works great with karaoke too. love it!
