Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the XP500's impressive sound quality, deep bass, and long battery life as key strengths. 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.

    Sound ok, better than the XP500, XP700 has more power, we keep the XP500 for the easy size to take with us, the XP700 wish have wheels, (not fan to lift 38 pounds). Also the app is not that easy to connect in party mode, not sure if I'm not doing something right, but take some time to make them pair together.

    This speaker bangs! We bought it to use outdoors with our projector and being that it has a 25 hour battery usage time, that works through Bluetooth it is perfect. The sync process is fast and easy. Can’t wait to get another and enjoy many fall movie nights with this in the yard.

    The wife bought a cheap tailgate speaker which lasted for years and has finally broke on us. This was her Christmas gift 2022 and it is Amazballs. The only downfall of it is the sheer size, the thing is bloody massive and not really a speaker to move and take with you on the go. The sound is top notch and better than the other speakers I saw at the store of this size. Also for the price it is so worth it the sound quality truly is amazing. Worth the buy, and if you are looking for a something a bit smaller there is a smaller version available with a bit more reasonable price. These units are not where the rest of the speakers are located and you will have to look around the store to find them but so worth it, a diamond in the rough.
