Customer Ratings & Reviews

This speaker can be used for music from your phone, MP3 player, do karaoke with it or even use as a guitar amp!! You can even charge your phone with it! This speaker is a little over 2 feet high and about one foot in width and weighs in at around 37 pounds. It can be used either by plugging it in or charging it and taking it with you anywhere. It isn’t water proof, but is splash resistant. No big deal if you get caught in the rain. The control panel is on the top where you can turn it off/on, Bluetooth your device, turn the volume up and down, fast forward and turn the Mega Bass on/off. The back has a plug for your audio devices, a mic input (you can use for karaoke) with volume control, a guitar input with volume, two USB ports, and the power input. It also has three buttons for turning the light feature off/on, party connect (use this with other compatible Sony speakers) and a battery care button with a voice that tells you know how much battery life you have. You don’t have to look at a gauge to figure out much life is left in the battery. This is a multi-directional speaker. It doesn’t matter if you are in front of it or behind it, you will hear clear sounding music. I have had this speaker in the house with the windows open, the volume about half way and could hear it crystal clear about 20 feet from the house. If you turn on the Mega Bass, you can feel the walls of the house shake. I prefer the Mega Bass on and if in the house a bit lower volume. The sound is amazing. If you don’t like a lot of bass, just hit the button to turn it off. There are two ways to connect your phone or music device to this speaker. You can either Bluetooth it (need to be within 10 feet of it for this to work) or you can use an audio cable and plug it into the back. The battery life on this speaker lasts about 25 hours. if you do not use the light feature. With a quick charge you can get approximately 3 hours. I have other Sony compatible portable speakers and with the app you can synch them and have speakers spread throughout your house! The Fiestable app controls the party features. I downloaded this app to control them, but you must have the Sony app to be able to do this. There are so many things you can do with this speaker that you can’t do with other speakers. It would be nice if they designed wheels on the back to move the speaker around to make it more portable. It is big, but VERY sturdy. Once in place there won’t be any accidents knocking it over, unless you are a gorilla. It may seem a little pricey, but this speaker is well worth it.

This Sony SRS-XP700 Portable Bluetooth Speaker has blown me away. Even from the moment I hit the power button, and the warm, deep welcome tone sounded, I sensed this speaker was going to be good. Linking to my phone couldn't have been easier, press the bluetooth button on top for 5 or so seconds and then look for it in the bluetooth setting on your phone. Fired up a recent favorite of mine 'Hurt - by One Desire'. The bass was instantly punchy, you could feel it in your chest and your furniture! I was not expecting so much bass from a completely wireless bluetooth speaker. And it is constant bass, it doesn't fade as you turn it up. There appears to be some kind of witchcraft going on inside this speaker! The set up consists of front and rear tweeters for room filling, omnidirectional sound, and x-balanced main speaker units combined with Sony's infamous 'MEGA BASS™' system providing a pounding soundtrack. This speaker handles all genres of music thrown at it with ease. The x-balanced speakers are a unique Sony development that enable to keep the bass punch at higher volumes, without sacrificing clarity. I have a very open living room with 22ft ceilings, and this speaker absolutely fills the space with a hall like sound, at only half volume. And the beauty is, that being omnidirectional, the sound is everywhere, you can walk around the house and while you know where the speaker is, it is not 'obvious'. There is just sound in the room. The speaker does come with a power cord, so you can run it plugged in, but if you want to take it away from the electrical grid, the internal battery lasts for around 25 hours, without compromising the sound quality or that incredible bass. And if you need to 'top it off', a quick 10 minute charge gives you an additional 3 hours of playback time. Great charging technology included in this astounding speaker. There is a button in the center on the back that when pressed gives you a voice prompt of the battery life. Along the handle and the base are discrete LED lights that dance and flash along with the music, but they are also completely controllable using the Sony 'Fiestable' app which is a downloadable companion. Install the app and then you can go in and change all sorts of settings on the speaker for full LED control. You an also sync to your phone to use it as an additional light source. You can turn the LEDs off with a button on the back, or using the app. And talking of apps, download the Sony Music Center app for complete control of the speaker. You can adjust many settings from the app, including the MEGABASS, Live and Custom equalizer to tune the speaker to your liking control over Bass, Mids and Treble exactly as you want it. You can also see a complete and accurate battery life indicator here. On the back under the IPX4 rated cover, there are controls for gain and volume to use this speaker as a karaoke speaker or as a guitar amp, to make this speaker a complete all rounder. Imagine that - hook up your guitar and just take it wherever you want for a full days worth of sound. There are two USB ports under that cover as well, so you can bring your own flash drive with music on it, OR you can create a wired connection to your phone, which not only gives you audio clarity, but also charges your phone from the internal battery. This speaker is so versatile! On the top are some simple buttons to play/pause, connect to bluetooth, turn on/ff and control the MEGABASS. These are rubberized to maintain its water resistance. This speaker is NOT waterproof, but water resistant so it can be used near a pool without fear of it being splashed, or having drinks spilled on it. But it cannot be submersed in a pool for example. And also on top is a long slot, which is designed as an iPad/iPhone stand for when you want to have full control using the apps, or if you want to use the speaker in Karaoke mode. A useful addition to the top of the speaker. Inside the speaker is a motion sensor, and it has rubber feet on the base, but also along one side. When you change the orientation of the speaker, the speaker adapts and switches the orientation of the tweeter output to maintain it's phenomenal sound. There is a slight pause in the music as the sensor adjusts (half a second) so that you know the sound orientation has changed. You can pair this speaker to another one, and assign it a left and right channel, to give full stereo sound, OR just use them both as a 'party chain' to fill an even larger space with sound and light. As far as portability, yes, it is completely wireless, but with it's internal battery and unique speakers system, this speaker is not light at a little over 37lbs including the battery. You will be using both carry handles as you move it around. But all in all, I think that is a small price to pay for the incredible sound and stamina that this speaker has. The Summary: This is absolutely, the BEST wireless, bluetooth, portable speaker I have ever used. I've been blown away by it from day one, the sound is incredible, clear, strong and very bass heavy, which I personally love, it's so versatile and acts as a 'complete system'. Highly recommended!

So this thing is great!! I didn't know what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised. First thing I should mention is the weight. Weight = Heavy!!!! Be very aware of this. You have to put some respect on your body to move it. But you can in fact move it, obviously. It has a bar on top and a bar on the bottom (if standing vertically). Because of this, it would have been helpful to have two bars on top (opposite) each other so that I can lift it easier in the vertical position. But it does have a bar on the bottom, so you can lift it horizontally using both bars. By the way, you can sit it horizontally as well, and it will adjust the sound. Setup was super easy. Turn it on first (power button on top). Push/hold down the bluetooth button on top and then go to your device and search for the bluetooth, and then connect. This will make the bluetooth button show a solid blue light. Up top, beside power and bluetooth, you also have play/pause (this button also does skip back/fwd), volume down, volume up and Mega Bass. Those top buttons are actually greyish white in color. They really should have done the same thing for the buttons on the back. I really don't know why they kept the buttons on the back the same color as the unit. It is so hard to see/read which button is which. My goodness. That is actually very annoying (my teeny Sony bluetooth player does the same annoying thing). Continuing with the back... you will see the following buttons: Party Connect (to connect to other compatible Sony bluetooth players to hear music from all connected to the "Party," Battery (to let you know battery level), and Light (to turn the lights in front on/off). Yes you get a light show in the top and bottom of the front of the unit that tries to light up to the beat(s) of the song... it tries. Also on the back in an enclosed panel that includes two USB ports, AC port for the power cord, Audio In port, Mic port (along with a volume knob) for karaoke, and Mic1/Guitar port (along with a volume knob) for connecting a guitar or other mic. So much you can do with this! The sound quality is GREAT! The sound is full and produces good bass! This is an amazing unit. Really. I fully recommend. Peace.

I got an excellent item, perfect for my needs, sounds great

Crisp and clear sound. Speaker is loud however there's still not enough bass, even with rhe mega bass on. Good product though.

This is my second XP700. Now I have a pair and they sound great! I have considered upgrading to the 900 but there is considerable size difference. While the XP700 is large it is still manageable and easy to move around. I recently used both speakers on a Mardi Gras float and the sound was loud, the bass was driving, and I ran both speakers (paired in the Sony Music app) at about 95% volume for almost two hours and still had about 80% battery remaining. Zero distortion and no clipping. I also used both speakers at a chili cook-off back in November and the weather turned and a light rain ended all of the music from all booths as well as the public address system since all were exposed to the elements and most required electricity. Our booth kept on rocking so we turned it up so everyone could enjoy some music. If I were sure my wife wouldn't kill me I'd consider adding two more speakers but... These do not have the low end power of a large electric powered JBL Party Box and the highs are not as crisp as I would prefer but it's exactly what I was looking for...portable and battery powered. I highly recommend going to a store to check out all of the available options.

I bought this speaker and thought its going to be better because it s a Sony, the sound is somewhat good but really expected more volume and clarity. If you try to hook a wireless mic to it you are done because the feedback is horrible.

You can buy the crap on wish or dome other site for under a $100. But the sound does not compare. Instead of spending a thousand dollars to retrofit my semi to have decent sound, I bought this. The cheap speakers will distort if you turn them up all the way, but sony's technology make sure the sound is always crisp and clear. Whether i'm gaming on my m s I laptop or watching a movie on my z.Fold 4. I am able to Bluetooth the sound from all devices to my Sony XP-700. Also the same app that controls my Sony WF1000XM3 Earbuds controls the Sony XP-700. With the app I can turn it on and off. The speaker can sit powered off but on standby. Or you can choose for it to turn off after a few minutes ftom Bluetooth disconnect. When on battery mode....not plugged in....the sound output drops a very small amount. It's only noticeable if you're right there as it happens. I was lucky, I found mine on bestbuy.com on sale for $438.00 after tax. I picked it up in store. I like my new dog. I love spending time with the wife.........sorry got distracted. If you have a device that can put out decent sound other than the phone, or computer, you're looking this up on when you watch the video, you can hear the sound coming through. Volume on video was at 80% well gosh darn....will only let me upload pictures. https://youtu.be/qPAe7EX0Kac?feature=shared here is a link of vieo from my youtube channel.

Sony XP700: The KING of all parties! I've been using the Sony XP700 Portable Bluetooth Party Speaker, and it's an absolute beast! The sound is powerful, crystal clear, and the bass is insane, especially with the Mega Bass feature. I use it for gatherings, BBQs, and even by the pool, thanks to its water resistance (IPX4). :) PROS: Massive, immersive sound with deep bass. LED lights that create a party atmosphere. Up to 25 hours of battery life wow. Stable Bluetooth connection, USB port, and AUX input. Can be used vertically or horizontally. Perfect for indoor and outdoor use. Instant pairing and amazing quality! No doubt, Sony nailed it with this speaker. I 100% recommend it—it’s the life of every party.

This is review of Sony SRS-XP700 Just WOW as first impression for its powerful sound. With its easy to grab and go to make big wave perfect to enjoy with group of friends at backyard or else. I couldn’t have the volume all the way up for long as it can be heard across entire block of neighbor. On setting aspect is straight forward, enable bluetooth on the device and the speaker, then download Sony Music Center and Fiestable, select the music and play with the lights as bump the sound. The Mega Boost does its job enabling amplification if I understand correctly, and can tell the difference with and without it, the deep but still sharp of the full sound of each instrument and voice makes great for the moment. Then the Music Center has its own benefit is song management integrated with device default player iTunes I my case. I find it useful as from the same app can control songs to play and control the speaker. And good thing of Fiestable its ability for DJ Control and make effect. It has other feature like Voice Control, Party Light, Party Playlist, Motion Control, Karaoke, Illumination. But find more interesting the make of effect on the sound via Dj Control. And it is remarkable the duration of the battery. Didn’t play continuous 25 hours, but having played several hours across multiple days of week, still remains 70% of single charge. On the note of curious feature of the application, despite it doesn’t connect via WiFi for music control and connectivity with speaker, it still require to enable Local Network and Cellular Data. Not sure this is for the requirement for Add App Maps and how it benefit, but find bit odd it is there. What I feel non convenient are: 1. Have to rely on additional two applications 2. Can’t turn on/off from the application 3. Can’t enable Mega Bass from the application, or at least I couldn’t find the option. 4. The light effect is single one for both top and bottom. Wish I can have control to have for top and bottom. But aside of short list of inconvenience, find it really good to have for the good quality of sound at big to be with friends enjoying bbq. I can’t imagine the level of experience would be by adding compatible speakers for Party mode.

Before deciding to buy this Sony XP700 I had watched a bunch of reviews that compared it with the JBL Partybox 310 and 710 models. The majority of the reviews recommended the JBL models over the Sony XP700 so I went to Bestbuy with every intention of purchasing one of the JBL models recommended. When I arrived at Bestbuy I say demo models of both the JBL and Sony on display. My instincts told me to test out the demo models to hear how right the reviews were that I had watched online. Today, I am truly grateful to Best buy for having those demo units in the store because I got to try out bothe the JBL 310/710 and Sony XP700 and based on what I heard and felt I had no choice but to buy the Sony XP700. Yes the JBL models had a better light features but I was so impressed with the sound clarity and deep rich bass from the Sony XP700 that it was a "No trainer" for me to get the Sony XP700. It's been a month now sine I been enjoying all my genres of music on the amazing speaker from Sony and I have totally enjoyed it every day. My advice to anyone wanting to buy a good quality Bluetooth speaker: go over to Bestbuy and have them demo the ones you like but be sure to also listen to the Sony XP700.

I love this !! This is very easy to use and it will literally rattle your windows if you want it to or give you just a really great sound if that’s what you want also. It charges and the battery Life is great. Easy to pair with your Bluetooth. Very pleased.!!!

I saw this speaker while roaming through BestBuy and heard music coming from one of three speakers which where all the Sony XP series. the sound quality was very nice, but I was thinking what I would need it gigantic speaker for. Two Christmas parties this with my wife being the life of the party I knew that this would make the perfect gift for her. I search online looking for a good quality karaoke machine but then realized that "party speaker" was what I needed to search for. Review of the speaker. Like I said earlier the sound quality is amazing, I can connect via Bluetooth and there is even a Sony app that allows you to download your music library. I had to purchase microphones to use for karaoke. this machine is light and easy to move around unlike the xp900. This speaker is also very loud with nice base. the only downside would be that you can't put this on a pole tripod.

Absolutely! Here's the updated review: Pros * Powerful, room-filling sound: The XP700 delivers big audio ideal for parties and gatherings. * Long battery life: Enjoy up to 25 hours of music on a single charge. * Water-resistant design: IPX4 rating means it can handle splashes and spills. Cons: * Heavy and bulky: Not the most portable speaker for frequent travel. * Pricey: It's an investment compared to smaller, more budget-friendly Bluetooth speakers. * Some sound distortion at max volume: Audio quality can suffer slightly when pushed to its limits. Review The Sony XP700 is a party powerhouse! If you're looking for a speaker that can fill a room with loud, punchy sound (especially booming bass) and keep the music going all night, this is a great option. However, high frequencies aren't the most distinctive, and it's both large and on the expensive side, so it may not be the best choice for everyone.

Fantastic!!! Great Battery Life, Great Base, Great Lights. Yes it’s A Little HeavyBut you get a ready to go party in one box.. I want to buy another, this thing will link up with another identical model. Oh !!! The Blue Tooth is Great too!!!

We went back and forth on brands and models. We ultimately decided on this one and we couldnt be happier. Its got crisp sound and is loud. The bass boost feature is nice and we enjoy that its easily connected to bluetooth and the battery life is long!!! Highly recommend!

Defective product, it had several scratches and a piece is missing!! Not it’s a excellent condition

Pretty dope does exactly what I wanted. It's loud has good sound quality and the battery lasts a long time

Initially was looking for the JBL and with it sold out at the time, I opted to give this new SRSXP700 a shot. So happy I did. I LOVE this speaker! Saving my money to pick up a second one! Cons: - It's a bit heavy to carry around. 37 lbs is not that heavy but I take this thing all over my house and yard so it gets heavy moving it up and down stairs a lot. Pros: - The sound quality is great. Solid bass. Oh ya it's loud. Crisp and full. - The battery feels like it lasts forever. Used it for a party (5+hours) then used it off and on for the next 2 weeks before I charged it again. - Lights are ok, if you're into lights. - Solid and stable like I don't see this thing getting knocked over. - Bluetooth connection is easy and feels strong. Have yet to have any connectivity issues. Highly recommend this speaker to anyone who wants to jam out in the yard, in the garage, by the pool, in the kitchen....

I’ve been using this speaker for a few weeks now, and I’m blown away by its performance. The sound quality is crystal clear with deep bass and no distortion, even at high volumes. It’s perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. The sleek design with LED lights adds a modern touch, making it a centerpiece during gatherings. Battery life is impressive—I’ve used it for over 10 hours on a single charge without any issues. The Bluetooth connectivity is seamless and has a good range. The only downside is that the device could be a bit lighter for portability, but it’s not a dealbreaker. Overall, it’s worth every penny, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality speaker.
