I have had many Bluetooth speakers over the years and always on the lookout for new/better technology so I decided to give this one a go. For starters, setup is simple and Bluetooth connects quickly. Mine came about 2/3’s pre-charged and was fully charged within an hour or so. The manual says you can get 25 hours of battery life which is very impressive for a speaker of this size, its almost 3 feet tall. If it runs out of battery it has USB-C quick charging which gives you 3 hours of playback after just 10 minutes of charging, pretty impressive. Not only is it big/tall but also a bit heavy, about 25 pounds so its not the most mobile of speakers. Handles on both sides make it easier to transport with a buddy. But all this is water under the bridge. If you’re looking for a great Bluetooth speaker, once you turn it on it is stunning! The sound is simply amazing. Mids/highs are great but its strongpoint is pumping out the base. In ‘normal’ mode the base is strong but push the Mega Base button and it really thumps. And it gets LOUD! Three-quarter volume is about all my house (and wife) can handle, and its without distortion. And then there are the lights on top and bottom of the speaker, really cool as they sync with the music and change colors. Once you download the Sony Music Center app you can click on “Fiestable” and it gives you a bunch of options to customize the lights. There’s also a Karaoke button, voice control, and other options that I haven’t had time to play with yet but look forward to doing so. And speaking of Karaoke, it was an added surprise for me that there are inputs for both a microphone and a guitar. I had no idea, and I play guitar so double-bonus for me! I plugged my Strat into it and it gives a nice clean sound. It also has separate volume controls to increase/decrease volume for the guitar and microphone. I tried adding a distortion pedal from my guitar and plugging into the speaker and it totally worked, so got a new amp with an awesome light show and I can play along with songs, sweet! Overall, the best Bluetooth speaker I’ve ever seen by far. My son wants to take it to college with him in the Fall, I’m sure he and his frat brothers would put it to good use and it would kick their parties up a couple notches. But I love this thing and can’t see parting with it. Sorry son :)

The SRS-XP700 Portable Wireless Speaker is a beast of a speaker that delivers on the promise of big, hi-def sound on a speaker that’s designed not to be in the background of a party but to take center stage. At nearly 40 lbs and over 2 ft tall when standing up vertically, it’s practically at the margins of what one would consider a “portable Bluetooth speaker,” but packed inside are a pair of Sony's unique X-Balanced woofers which have a square-shaped diaphragm, three front tweeters, a rear tweeter, and 25-hour runtime battery. It can also run off main power if it is plugged in and charging, and just a 10-minute charge can provide up to 3 hours of playback, though a full charge takes approximately 3 hours. The housing is made of a durable, chunky plastic and sports two handles on either side of the speaker grill for carrying and lifting the unit. It can also be placed horizontally on its side, although there are only rubber feet on the bottom and right-hand side of the speaker for laying flat. Hidden behind each handle are multi-color LED lights that flash and change to the beat of the music, so you can add a light show to liven up your party. If you want to disable the lights, there is an on/off toggle button on the back of the speaker. The controls on top of the speaker include a power button, Bluetooth pairing button, play/pause, volume control, and ‘Mega Bass’ for adding bass boost. The Play/Pause button also does double duty to skip tracks: double-press for forward and triple-press for back. On the back of the speaker, along with the LED light toggle button, are a battery indicator button, which if pressed, the speaker will announce the current remaining battery life in 20% increments, and a “Party Connect” button that allows you to pair and sync other Sony speakers (up to 100!) so that they will all play the same audio and display the same light show simultaneously. Just below those buttons, behind a removable door panel you’ll find two USB ports, the power port for charging, AUX-in port, two ¼” mic input jacks with individual analog volume control knobs; the ¼” jack on the right can be used with an electric guitar by pressing the ‘guitar’ toggle button. In addition to charging your mobile devices, the left USB port can be used as an input source, and you can play audio files stored on the connected device, like a USB drive. The gasket-lined door panel is tethered with two rubber retractable straps, so you can’t misplace it; when it’s closed, the unit remains IPX4 water resistant, and you don’t have to worry if the speakers get splashed with water or rush to cover it if it starts raining. Pairing to the speaker is straightforward. Just press the Bluetooth button to enter pairing mode, then select the SRS-XP700 from your device’s Bluetooth menu. Note that for Apple iOS devices, the speaker is only compatible with iOS 10.0 or later. However, the speaker can be paired with up to 2 devices simultaneously (and remember up to 8) but only plays from one at a time. Since the connection is Bluetooth 5.0 there’s virtually no delay between your phone and the speaker, so if you want to watch a movie on your phone but listen to the audio on the XP700, the video and audio are perfectly synced with no noticeable lag. Interestingly enough, you can also prioritize whether or not the Bluetooth sound quality or connection stability is more important to you and switch between “Priority on sound quality” and “Priority on sound connection” modes. On top of the speaker is a 9” long, ½” wide, 5/8” deep groove where you can seat a mobile device like a phone/tablet (without a case) for use as a stand, which works great if you’re streaming from a tablet and want to have lyrics up on the screen for karaoke. Note though that the top of the speaker is tilted back at an angle and not level, so you can’t really place things on top of it and expect them to not slide off. As for the audio quality, it is clean and crystal clear even when turned up to max volume with little to no distortion on most tracks. If you have large rooms, open spaces, or are outdoors, the speaker can provide plenty of sound to blanket a large area, but also sounds great at medium to low volume. Toggling on ‘Mega Bass’ mode adds an extra dimension to the lower bass registers with more deep vibrations and low rumbles coming through, though this will consume more battery life faster. You can also press and hold the ‘Mega Bass’ button to swap to ‘Stamina’ mode which disables features like the lights and ‘Mega Bass’ in order to preserve battery life while not impacting the overall sound quality. If you download and use the Sony | Music Center and Fiestable apps on a mobile device you can also use additional features like adjusting the equalizer and volume settings, add sound effects, enable ‘Stereo Pair’ mode where you can link the XP700 with a second unit or XP500 and have each speaker play left and right channels separately for better directional 3D sound reproduction, and manually choose the input mode. I didn’t play around a lot with the DJ or motion control functions in the app, but there are also a few “party” functions that let others interact with the speaker from their mobile phones from syncing their screens to display the same colors as the light show to submitting tracks to a “host” shared playlist which play in the order that they are added. Overall, this speaker offers a great mix of features for both folks who value quality sound from their Bluetooth speakers and those who wish their speakers could do "more" than just play background music at a party. Its dual mic and instrument input options make this speaker a versatile all-in-one choice as a PA system for solo/duet performances or MC’ing at events, and the ample battery life, fast-charging, and portability factor mean that it can travel, when necessary.

I’ve used a variety of Sony speakers over the years. They have consistently been reliable accessories for me to connect to for music entertainment. So, when I saw this larger variation available, I decided to add it to our collection. It seemed to be the perfect companion for our newly remodeled patio. After investing quite a bit of money into getting our patio set up for entertaining guests and lounging around in the evening, we wanted to make sure we had a speaker for music to match. The speaker is quite easy to get started with. When you first turn it on, it enters Bluetooth mode (indicated by the flashing Bluetooth logo) and you can select it from your Bluetooth menu on your phone, tablet, or other device you are connecting from. Within a few seconds of getting the speaker out of its box, we were playing tunes thru it. There was a decent amount of battery life already on the speaker out of the box and after playing it for several hours, it still had about 50% left. I have yet to test the full 25-hour battery life it boasts, but I haven’t had any issues with the speaker being powered when I need it. I love that you have additional options for connecting to the speaker aside from wirelessly. Users have the option of plugging USB memory sticks for flash drives into the rear USB port to play digital files, too. This port can also be used to charge your phone (or other device) from the speaker while you are streaming audio from it. In addition to that, the speaker can be used as an amp or PA, too. There are mic/guitar dual inputs in the rear port. The XP700 is quite a hefty party companion. It weighs in at 25 pounds, which is ‘portable’ in a certain sense, but it’s not easy to move large distances without some help. There are also several aspects of the speaker that can be controlled via app. The lighting can be customized, users can connect up to 100 wireless speakers with Party Connect, and the Sony Music Center app helps you to organize your music. It’s a pretty cool set-up for controlling the entertainment. While we have taken a lot of care to make sure the speaker is moved into our garage after get-togethers, I’m glad it’s water-resistant. It can withstand light rain and spills from guests - if it happens. We do try very hard to keep the speaker located in an area where guests aren’t gathering though. The sound quality is amazing and the volume is outstanding. We had it turned up a couple of times to unbearable volumes and the entire neighborhood could hear it. The bass is well-balanced and everything we played sounded great coming out of it. Several people at our cookouts over the past couple of weeks have commented how nice it was to have music during the events - that everyone could hear. The lights on the speaker are a nice touch, but at times, they seemed underwhelming. I do, however, think this is a great option for anyone who entertains and even for churches, schools, or businesses that host events.

Ive Had this one for over a year now/ great purchase

Worth every penny! Sony is alway dependable when it comes to entertainment. Happy for this purchase!
