    Good party speaker. Nice low end that is even tighter when plugged into AC outlet. Battery life is good. Inputs on the rear are useful but there is a little latency on the inputs so this speaker not a good choice as a monitor speaker. It’s heavy and it tends to swing toward your legs when lifting it from the front so guard your shins and your back when handling this speaker.

      Hi ActiveListener,
      Thank you for your time writing this review. It's wonderful to hear you like the solid sound and good battery life of your XP700 speaker. Please note: Due to the characteristic of BLUETOOTH wireless technology, the sound played on the speaker is slightly delayed from the sound played on the BLUETOOTH device while listening to music. We appreciate and value your feedback as we always strive to provide the best experience possible. Thanks again for purchasing Sony! - Kris Sony_US

    I was able to get a satisfactory condition open-box version of this. It was like new and a very reasonable price. I use this speaker to out shine my neighbors when I’m barbecuing. Bass is good. Sound is crisp. It is heavy, I know it’s portable but it’s very heavy. It hasn’t left the house but I’m glad it could if need be. I want to buy another to sync together and really make the neighbors mad.

    Been reading reviews on this speaker for awhile and finally decided to get one. Actually ended up buying two. The party pair feature works well most of the time to link both speakers together. The sony app is also easy to use and can split the sound bet left/right for true stereo. These are heavy. But ultimately the convenience of having the portability to move outdoors, awesome bass, and its long battery capacity outweighs the heft. I cant wait for my first outdoor summer bbq to out these to good use. My neighbors will be sure to notice lol
