Customers are saying

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.

    Solid speaker, spotty connections/app

    Sound quality is incredible! I’ve used it inside where it fills up my house completely, and outside where I still haven't had to max out the volume. When it synchronizes with the other Sony speakers, it becomes very jumpy and the song stops and starts quite frequently. The apps Sony makes you have to connect it doesn’t seem to work too well either. Overall, the speaker itself is great if you’re connected to it, but the app and connections can be spotty.

    I needed a party speaker for my backyard party and also to listen music inside home, connect with my TV. This one just fits in. I preferred this model not just for its loud sound but also the sound clarity. I compared it with similar products from other brands but found this one to be the best.

    I have really enjoyed this speaker and I have continued to use it since its purchase. It is loud and has very clear and crisp vocals but my inly gripe is its lack of that deep base rumble that I was hoping for. It does have a bass bost option but it kinda muffels the sound to give it that bass. But not that hard hitting party speaker bass I was looking for but it was on sale for a steal so I am happy.

    Big Sony fan love there Speakers and this one was very high tremble didn’t really have a lot of bass like some other speakers that I had in the past the price is definitely up there for considering how small this is so don’t get me wrong this is nice for your room to kind of chill out but definitely wouldn’t use this for a party or anything like that

      Hi MalakaiMac,

      We are truly heartened to learn that you have been a long-time fan of our speakers and that you are finding your new XV800 to be a great addition to your room for those more relaxed listening sessions.

      Regarding the bass response, we’d love to help you get that "party-ready" punch you were expecting. The XV800 is equipped with dual X-Balanced Speaker Units designed for deep, powerful lows, but sometimes the "MEGA BASS" mode needs to be toggled on to really feel it. You can activate this by tapping the "MEGA BASS" button on the top touch panel or by using the Sony | Music Center app. Additionally, if the high frequencies feel a bit dominant, the app allows you to customize the EQ settings to perfectly balance the treble and bass to your personal taste.

      We really appreciate you being part of the Sony family.

      Regards,
      Dominick Sony_US

    I am very pleased once again with another Sony product. This speaker sounds AMAZING! If you are looking for super crisp sound with amazing bass, this speaker is for you. I compared to the competition, and this speaker's sound quality is way better! Definitely recommend. Bluetooth range is average.

    I have bought all models so the higher you go, the louder it will be. Its a pretty good speaker. Volume goes down a little while you use the built-in battery but its loud enough for party's and it helps for the 20 hours battery life. Its worth the money
