    Excellent speaker. We bought to use for our outdoor wedding and it has not disappointed. We were also able to get a bluetooth microphone to use with it for speeches and the ceremony. Definitely recommend. Long battery life and very good volume.

    This is my second XP700. Now I have a pair and they sound great! I have considered upgrading to the 900 but there is considerable size difference. While the XP700 is large it is still manageable and easy to move around. I recently used both speakers on a Mardi Gras float and the sound was loud, the bass was driving, and I ran both speakers (paired in the Sony Music app) at about 95% volume for almost two hours and still had about 80% battery remaining. Zero distortion and no clipping. I also used both speakers at a chili cook-off back in November and the weather turned and a light rain ended all of the music from all booths as well as the public address system since all were exposed to the elements and most required electricity. Our booth kept on rocking so we turned it up so everyone could enjoy some music. If I were sure my wife wouldn't kill me I'd consider adding two more speakers but... These do not have the low end power of a large electric powered JBL Party Box and the highs are not as crisp as I would prefer but it's exactly what I was looking for...portable and battery powered. I highly recommend going to a store to check out all of the available options.

    It's very loud. Easy to connect. Sony has it's own app. It's cool that you can connect multiple spreakers. The only thing with that, it's a little bit hard because if you forget to press on party connect button that speaker takes over instead which you have to restart. Another thing when you're trying to connect all speakers have to be one arm length.

    This speaker is more than loud enough with great bass and aesthetics. We used this speaker indoors the majority of the time and we never had to push the volume past halfway. I would recommend it for parties or get togethers. The sound is crystal clear and the bass isn’t overpowering. Definitely would recommend.

    One of the best sounding portable speakers I've heard. Deep bass, perfect for EDM. The fact you can daisy chain this speaker is awesome as well. If you pair this with another speaker like it you can easily fill a large sized room at party level sound!

    I’ve owned many Sony speakers, this is the best hands down! Has about a 20 hour battery life, if placed close to a wall/corner it will bump. Took it camping and placed on top of my toolbox, it kept us going all day! 100% recommend - buy it used and test it out!

      Hi AngelR,
      Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the SRS-XP700! We are very glad to hear that it's reliable, your go-to speaker for events and that the compatibility with other Sony speakers is coming in handy.

      We also appreciate your honest note about the bass performance at maximum volume. To enhance the low end, you can try toggling the MEGA BASS feature directly on the speaker or through the Sony | Music Center app, which is specifically designed to boost the bass response and make it punchier for party life.

      Thank you for choosing Sony!
      Best regards,

    The speaker sounds amazing, the extra bass boost (which can be toggled on or off) really resonates throughout the area, and the colors are really cool at night - you can also edit a lot of the settings with the Sony Music Center app. Works as intended, precisely what I wanted and more.
