    I bought this speaker for my 4th of July party mostly because I didn’t have the time to set up wired outdoor speakers. All I can say is wow, this portable, albeit heavy, speaker puts out some sound! The bass is heavy and the top end is crisp. The best part about this speaker is charge life. After charging for just a few hours this bad boy will last for a literal day. I had it running from 2pm until 11pm, full blast for most of the day, with its lights on. I checked the battery level before I turned it off and it still had 50% remaining! This speaker is well worth its price.

    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

    The Sony XP500 speaker is like a mini powerhouse for music. It pumps out really strong and clear sound, perfect for parties or just chilling out. You won't have to worry about it running out of juice too quickly, and the cool lights you can play with add a fun touch. Only thing is, it's a bit bigger than some other portable speakers out there.

    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.

    Overall very good party speaker. It delivers big, punchy sound with deep bass and clear vocals, and the lighting effects make it fun for gatherings. The long battery life—often lasting well over a day with moderate use—adds to its appeal, though heavy bass and lights can shorten it a bit.

    Great speaker, compares to the JBL in the same class. I like how it’s made to stand up or lay down. It has 4 mids, but only 2 play at a time, depending on the orientation. I like how you can turn the lights on or off. I’ve been trying to let the battery die, but it hasn’t yet. I only play it for about 30 each time, and have played it about 5 or 6 times total.

    Very impressive little speaker. The bass reproduction is flawless and full. Very capable of being too loud during inside use but does very well for outside social gatherings. The controls are extremely responsive and the battery life is great. Would probably recommend going to the next size up in this same product line if you want to use for outdoors unless you are willing to purchase 2 and run in sync which would sound amazing!

    It's perfect for outdoor/indoor usage. Couldn't be happier... It's loud enough for a small outdoor party of 40 people and very loud indoors. Battery life is decent, so far it lasted me over 5 hours without lowering the sound levels due to battery life. Overall, very happy with my purchase (I believe it has been month since purchased or about to be).

    The sound quality is very good, it has a great bass. The lights makes the listening experience more fun. It's great for parties but the only thing that I didn't like is the Karaoke feature. A little adjustment to the echo, and it makes a lot. I wouldn't say this is good for karaoke but it's a good bluetooth speaker for listening to music.

    Great Bluetooth speaker. Comes with an app but it isn't needed to operate the speaker. Colored lights is cool feature as music plays. Also has two USB ports: 1 for charging your phone & playing music at the same time; and second one for only playing music from phone or flashdrive. Purchases this open box to save a few bucks, and works well. Can play music and lights for 10 to 15 hours when fully charged, but if you have colored lights on, connected to Bluetooth, and charging phone, it pulls from speaker battery. Tested it out and it lasted about 5 to 8 hours, again, this one is open box. If you buy new, it may play for 20+ hours like it says on box. Lastly, haven't used the karaoke features yet.

    As good as I've heard. Don't know how you could want or need any more than this. The sound quality is amazing, and there's an abundance of bass if you prefer. Bluetooth is flawless, 2 USB ports for connecting and charging, and several lighting variations you can control thru the app. It really is an amazing speaker. Money well spent.

I'm no audiophile but the sound is great to me and gets loud enough to rock my house. The lights add a cool effect as well. I can't imagine what multiples of these linked together would do!

    I took a chance on the open box excellent price for this speaker. It came in all original packaging with factory 1 year warranty. I wanted something portable for the beach on my truck tailgate so i went with the smaller 25 pounder. This thing is awesome!! I had a sonos move that was stolen out of my truck. This speaker blows it out of the water!! You cant put this speaker on a kitchen counter but anywhere else in the house is amazing and the bass is out of this world. A must buy!!

    I had been looking for a speaker for a while for my garage. I tested every one at my local Best Buy. The sound quality, volume for a large area, and portability was great for the money spent. The closer for me was when it was priced $100 or more cheaper than every other similar sized speaker. Then I had to buy it!
