    I’ve research a ton of different Bluetooth portable speakers that has highs, mids and lows including bass. This is the one. Clear and crisp. Highly recommend. I connect a mic to this with a Bluetooth receiver. Caution it is quite bulky and heavy but it’s worth it and manageable. Not a speaker you take to the beach but def great for a pool party and or a jamming backyard bbq.

      Hi MichaelH, You've made a great choice! We're glad you like the clear and crisp audio and overall sound quality of your Sony XP700. We appreciate your feedback about the weight of the unit. The weight is due to the all-new innovative X-Balanced Speaker Unit and the front and rear high-efficiency tweeter, it sends out rich, clear sound in all directions. We also kept the speaker IPX4 water-resistant, so you can keep on playing even if a few raindrops fall. And up to 25 hours of battery life & quick charging ability means you will rarely have to go without any music. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US

    Wish this had wheels, other than that it is great! We bought for our Mother's Day party and it has been used way more than we thought. We have used it for karaoke evenings, in back yard with the kids, and I have also taken it to my classroom and obnoxiously played music around the school haha. Sound is great, the bass is great, and it is definitely a party pleaser. It is a bit heavy so be mindful of that but once it is in your desired spot, you will not need to move it haha.

    The XP-700 sounds great, at 50% volume its as loud as 100% volume on the XG-500. The only major downside is its size which makes it difficult to move around. It would’ve been great if it had wheels. I bought it open box for $300 which was a fantastic deal for this speaker. If your looking to buy one I’d recommend waiting for it to go on sale because I feel the speaker is worth about $400 instead of the $550 retail price tag
