    Great large Bluetooth speaker

    I have been looking at getting a large Bluetooth speaker for some months now. I was originally was looking at JBL, but have not seen one in stock for a couple months now. I started looking online, but really hard to get an idea for size, sound, look, ease of use, etc. I went into my local Best Buy just to browse and found this product. Really surprised of how good it sounds. Have tried different genres of music and have been happy with how each plays from this speaker. I primarily use this around the house for outside activities. Have used already for a couple parties, and have had many compliments. Another plus is the 28 hr battery life on a full charge. I have used this for a period of twelve hours in a day and never had to worry about the battery. Have not put the battery life through a full test yet. Overall I am happy with the product. The only dislikes I would have is if you have a big interest in the party lighting on this speaker it is not as much as some other large speakers that are on the market. It was not a deciding factor to myself and honestly I don’t use. I do wish that these larger speakers would come with some wheels to make it more maneuverable. You may want to create some type of cart for it to move as it can be quite heavy and awkward sometimes. This can just depend on how often you are moving it from place to place. I am happy with the purchase and would suggest it to someone looking for a large Bluetooth speaker.

      We are sorry to hear that you are having trouble pairing your two SRS-XP700 speakers, Jrcmr. We understand how frustrating this can be, and this is not the experience we want you to have. The SRS-XP700 features a "Party Connect" function that allows you to connect up to 100 compatible speakers, so we are confident we can get yours working together.

      To get started, here are a few steps that often resolve pairing issues:

      Ensure Both Speakers Are Updated: Please make sure that both of your speakers have the latest firmware version. You can check for updates using the Sony | Music Center app.

      Use the PARTY CONNECT Button: On each speaker, there is a PARTY CONNECT button. Press this button on both speakers to initiate the connection. The indicators on the speakers will flash as they search for each other.

      Keep the Speakers Close: For the initial pairing, it is best to place the two speakers within 1 meter (about 3.2 feet) of each other.

      Try the Sony | Music Center App: The app provides a guided process for pairing speakers using the "Party Connect" function, which can make the process simpler.

      If you continue to have trouble, we would be more than happy to provide further assistance. You can find detailed instructions in the speaker's Help Guide (https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xp500/v1/en/search/search.html?search=party), or you can contact our support team directly ( https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=car ). They can walk you through the troubleshooting steps and get your speakers paired and ready to go.

      Thank you again for choosing Sony, and we appreciate your patience as we help you resolve this.

      Best regards,

      Gus

    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....

    Works great for music and shows. Does do stereo in both vertical and horizontal. Supports UpTo 2 microphones. It does do aux in as well. Do know though that aux as a source and using a mic does cause interference and for it to pick up radio station. Happened once and it was odd. On another note if the aux in is not the same device that is connected by Bluetooth, almost anything you do on the BT device will take over audio from the aux device. Set it to vibrate or silent to stop this. Back to good stuff, batter last pretty good. No discernable distortion even at high volume, at least songs I listen to anyway.

    Solid Speaker for Large Gatherings

    Bought this speaker for group events at home and for my daughter's birthday party. The speaker is plenty loud both in- and outdoors. The longevity of the battery is great and has not died during any extended uses relying on it. The bass hits well and pairs well with the other tones. The only thing to keep in mind is the majority of the speaker is plastic material so it scratches/scuffs pretty easily. If I really had a need, I would purchase an identical speaker to pair with the one I purchased.

    To start, this thing is HUGE for a battery operated blue tooth speaker. It is the size of a cooler, and with the top and bottom handles it carries like a cooler too. So, it's perfectly portable, but not easily carried very far at all. Otherwise, the sound is great. It's no Bose, but it's close; very big sounding. The lights are not very bright, so easily washed out by any other light source. I love the mic input and guitar input options; in fact, this has become my favorite guitar amp, over my actual guitar amps!
