Big in size, Not in sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought 2 of these for my pool party as they are branded as the best outdoor Bluetooth speakers. The speakers produce good bass no doubt but lacks in loudness, I was disappointed because I literally had two of these around at 90% volume among 20 people but I decided to keep them rather then returning it because of the battery life, that’s the second best thing, that it has amazing battery life once it’s fully charged.

Good but not ideal sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely! Here's the updated review: Pros * Powerful, room-filling sound: The XP700 delivers big audio ideal for parties and gatherings. * Long battery life: Enjoy up to 25 hours of music on a single charge. * Water-resistant design: IPX4 rating means it can handle splashes and spills. Cons: * Heavy and bulky: Not the most portable speaker for frequent travel. * Pricey: It's an investment compared to smaller, more budget-friendly Bluetooth speakers. * Some sound distortion at max volume: Audio quality can suffer slightly when pushed to its limits. Review The Sony XP700 is a party powerhouse! If you're looking for a speaker that can fill a room with loud, punchy sound (especially booming bass) and keep the music going all night, this is a great option. However, high frequencies aren't the most distinctive, and it's both large and on the expensive side, so it may not be the best choice for everyone.

Super nice speaker
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pretty nice speaker. It’s smaller than the 700 version but it still packs of punch. I’m absolutely thrilled with the base button as I can alter how much base there is if I’m watching TV compared to when I am listening to music.
