Its portability and loud volume are also frequently praised, making it ideal for parties and outdoor use. While some find it a bit heavy, the water resistance and attractive design are generally well-received. A few users mentioned that the price point could be improved and the app requires some enhancements.

    Nice Massive Speaker

    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.

    Good speakers, very heavy, and Battery doesn’t last long when there is alot of bass in music. Connectivity to other like speakers ideal. Would have given it five stars, if the battery would last longer.

      Hi TitusH!
      It is truly wonderful to know that you find the SRS-XP700 to be a great speaker, and we certainly appreciate your honest comments regarding the weight and, specifically, the battery performance when the bass is maximized.

      To help improve your battery life while still enjoying that deep bass, we recommend switching the MEGA BASS feature off in the Sony | Music Center app, or lowering the volume slightly. This small adjustment can significantly extend your playback time.

      Thank you for choosing Sony. We appreciate your feedback!
      Best regards,
      Estefany Sony_US

    Was very unsettled about purchasing this. I thought the price was a little high. Although when i plugged it in and it easily connected to my phone i was impressed. The quality of sound is amazing. You can add the boost for bass and it sounds even better. The light could be better and brighter but over all a great pick up.
