Customers highly value the XV800 X-Series Bluetooth Portable Party Speaker for its exceptional sound quality and long battery life. Many appreciate the thumping bass and powerful volume it delivers, along with its portability and reliable Bluetooth connectivity. While some find it a bit heavy and consider the wheels not very useful, the speaker's overall performance and features, such as the fun lights and water resistance, make it a popular choice.

For outdoor parties this thing is a blast
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Summer is here, and the time is right … for dancing on the street! Thanks to this Bluetooth speaker your pool/block/bbq party will be rocking with tunes. With a 20+ hour battery and lighting effects the omnidirectional sound produced by this is enough to shake the rafters wherever you happen to set it up. For Bluetooth pairing upon first connection you are prompted to install the Sony Music Center App to pair properly which makes it slightly less convenient for guests and other family members to hook up to the device quickly. A second app named Fiestable is also recommended for installation. While the Sony Music Center app is simple and clean to use allowing you to select different sources, tune the audio and adjust various sound settings, the Fiestable app seems more of a gimmick than something I’d ever use. The theory with the Fiestable app is that you and your circle of friends have all installed Fiestable, you’re all on the same wireless network, and you are ok streaming non-hi-res audio to this speaker. If you meet all these requirements it means friends can submit songs to play and they play in the order submitted. I just don’t see many people interested in having to install an app to submit music. I know my use case for this device is at a neighborhood pool where there is no wifi, my backyard, where my guests connect to my GUEST wifi, not my main wifi, or in my driveway where the requirements are the same. I just don’t see any value in this app. There’s a USB-A port on the back of the unit which can charge your phone while connected, but the port does not let you playback audio from the connected device. The USB-A port’s intended use is transferring music to a USB-key and then allowing the unit to play whatever is on the USB-key. I’ve seen similar devices that have a built-in charging stand or a dedicated slot to place your phone in the device so you can keep your phone charged and playing tunes at the same time. There’s another gimmick with this unit that Sony is calling “TV Sound Booster.” Using an optical cable you can plug this device to your TV and “enhance” the sound of whatever you are playing. This feature does not take the place of having a soundbar, nor does it turn off your existing TV speakers. The feature requires using the TV speakers and the Sony Speaker. Worse, it’s using an optical cable which means you lose all support for any surround sound audio formats including Dolby Atmos. After experimenting with a number of different audio and video formats and streaming sources the TV Sound Booster enhancement boils down to mostly background audio effects and a slightly better range of bass tones. For the most part you are still relying on your TV speakers which to me is a terrible idea. If you need to boost the sound from your TV, buy a proper sound bar or invest in a proper surround sound setup. I’m excited for a summer of much better sounding music at the pool thanks to these speakers.

Great sound system
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Typical Sony excellence in sound. We have been using this unit for background music during breaks as well as a sound system for Speaker events. It works well in a mid-size venue. A great feature is the multiple audio sources.
