Beyond surprised
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Incredibly clear sound with a very surprising amount of bass when using the max bass feature. Very light weight and portable, but durable. I will be buying more of these speakers to accompany the two I have.

LOUD when connected to power
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.LOUD but it needs to be connected to the outlet to be at it's loudest. Great for parties. The app is not great though. I try to use the app but it takes up too much space on my phone. Not easy to use.

Underrated
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Incredible sound quality, and will be perfect for my wedding when I use it as the only soul speaker. The bass isn't as strong as most speakers, but I primarily don't use it for that. It gets incredibly loud and is overall a fantastic investment.

Great Bluetooth Speakers!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome speakers! I ended up buying a pair of these. Great for a party, outdoor cookout, music for parade float… great sound and volume for a battery powered speaker and even better if plugged into 120v ac. Totally worth it specially when purchased on sale.

So much better battery than I expected
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to share my experience with this speaker system. We lost our power form a tree falling on the lines and were without power for 2 days. While this was not a first for us, it was so much better due to the Sony XP700! Without power I was able to turn on the music and listen to my favorites for most of the time we were without power, in addition it charged our cell phones when we needed, and it went the entire 2 days playing for at least 12 hours each day and still had 40% battery when the power came back on. Now to be fair I turned off the lighting effects and we had the volume at about 20% but it was plenty and it really made a terrible situation bearable for us!
