Nice speaker not easily portable
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My intention was a loud bluetooth speaker that was portable. Yeah that last word ruined it. About as portable as a grand piano. However while I did like it and the sound. I was in way over my head. Returned product.

Pairing
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought 2 and I can’t get them to pair, What do I do!
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are having trouble pairing your two SRS-XP700 speakers, Jrcmr. We understand how frustrating this can be, and this is not the experience we want you to have. The SRS-XP700 features a "Party Connect" function that allows you to connect up to 100 compatible speakers, so we are confident we can get yours working together.
To get started, here are a few steps that often resolve pairing issues:
Ensure Both Speakers Are Updated: Please make sure that both of your speakers have the latest firmware version. You can check for updates using the Sony | Music Center app.
Use the PARTY CONNECT Button: On each speaker, there is a PARTY CONNECT button. Press this button on both speakers to initiate the connection. The indicators on the speakers will flash as they search for each other.
Keep the Speakers Close: For the initial pairing, it is best to place the two speakers within 1 meter (about 3.2 feet) of each other.
Try the Sony | Music Center App: The app provides a guided process for pairing speakers using the "Party Connect" function, which can make the process simpler.
If you continue to have trouble, we would be more than happy to provide further assistance. You can find detailed instructions in the speaker's Help Guide (https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xp500/v1/en/search/search.html?search=party), or you can contact our support team directly ( https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=car ). They can walk you through the troubleshooting steps and get your speakers paired and ready to go.
Thank you again for choosing Sony, and we appreciate your patience as we help you resolve this.
Best regards,
Gus
