    I do not use this speaker as a "party speaker" and it is never in the rain. I do have it plugged into my computer in a large classroom and it delivers excellent sound. The blue tooth function is also great - I can play anything from my phone. We do plan on using it for a large outdoor gathering (400 people) for announcements and mood music, and it will meet our needs.

    My son is 23 but this speaker is portable and is good for anyone and for any age. Sony has always brought quality products and in the music industry has a good name. Not heavy and made of good materials that will resist some humidity and impacts, sound quality is the best of similar products I had the opportunity to compare.

    I have been using Sony speakers for years now, and let me tell you that they just keep getting better! Very loud and very deep bass. Hits all the mids and highs perfectly. Only I would add is a roller wheel system on it because it is kinda heavy. Don't waste your time and money on JBL, these are just as loud and usually cheaper as well

    Bout this 8 months ago and it’s still going strong. Batterie life will surprise you! Used this for a large friend gathering and i never saw full volume on it. It’s so much louder than you expect. The color shifting LEDs is a plus. There’s some apps you can download to change the LED settings too.

    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
