Best backyard/party speaker
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is just what we needed. A speaker thats loud with exceptional bass.. Love to BBQ and play some music. Battery is great, and long lasting. Sounds way better when its plugged in though, but i don’t mind. We also ordered some wireless pair of mics to karaoke. Everyone that visits now say they will purchase one as well. Great buy and would recommend.

Loud and Bigger than Expected
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The speaker works perfectly. It is as big as I expected, so I won't be carrying it around too much. It is definitely loud. We have it in our race shop which is 2400 sq ft., and you can hear it over the cars. The only problem...is it came dented. I know it wasn't Best Buy's fault, but the box looked like somebody punched in the side which in turn dented the metal mesh around the speakers. I called Best Buy and they offered to give me a new one, but I didn't want to wait the week or 2 to get it. Instead they offered to take 10% off the price, which I agreed to. Overall, I am very satisfied with the product. Very easy to hook up. There are multiple devices in the shop and it's easy to switch from one to the other.

Awesome sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wanted a bluetooth speaker. JBL was a consideration but JBL has not updated the displays at Best Buy in a very long time. (JBL's fault not Best Buy.) Could not even listen to current models, and the ones older models did not sound remotely close to the sound quality of the Sony. Then it was down to this one or a smaller one. while the smaller one was cheaper, much more portable, and great sound, the bass response on this one and amazing sound won out.

The best option!
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony XP700: The KING of all parties! I've been using the Sony XP700 Portable Bluetooth Party Speaker, and it's an absolute beast! The sound is powerful, crystal clear, and the bass is insane, especially with the Mega Bass feature. I use it for gatherings, BBQs, and even by the pool, thanks to its water resistance (IPX4). :) PROS: Massive, immersive sound with deep bass. LED lights that create a party atmosphere. Up to 25 hours of battery life wow. Stable Bluetooth connection, USB port, and AUX input. Can be used vertically or horizontally. Perfect for indoor and outdoor use. Instant pairing and amazing quality! No doubt, Sony nailed it with this speaker. I 100% recommend it—it’s the life of every party.
