Customers admire the XV900 X-Series BLUETOOTH Party Speaker's exceptional sound quality, powerful bass, and impressive battery life, frequently citing its ability to fill a room with immersive audio. Many also appreciate its portability and the inclusion of a light show, although some find the speaker's size and weight to be a drawback. The relatively high price point is another area of concern for some buyers. Despite some minor criticisms regarding the wheels and lack of water resistance, the overall reception of the speaker is overwhelmingly positive.

Not worth it for the money. Better options availab
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not that great for the size and weight of it. Loud but not much bass for having a 12 inch sub. Buy the jbl 710 and youll b amazed! No comparison. Soundboks is also amazing but best buy does not carry it. Do yourself a favor and go jbl or soundboks

The Sony XV900 far exceeded my expectations!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been wanting a speaker like this for a while and have been looking around at different models. The Sony XV900 BLUETOOTH Party Speaker from Best Buy seemed like a good choice so I got it. The speaker far exceeded my expectations! Yes, the speaker has a great sound and very cool flashing lights for a great party atmosphere. (The lights can be turned off when you don't want them.) But I was amazed at the options and how well they work. Setup was extremely easy and straightforward. To get the most mileage out of the speaker you need to download the Sony Music Center app for your phone and connect it to the speaker via Bluetooth. Once the app is connected it will immediately show you a menu of sound/music services for your phone. Mine included Amazon Music, Pandora, SoundCloud, Spotify, TuneIn Radio, and YouTube Music. You can choose any of these services to stream to the speaker, or, alternatively, choose any app on your phone and stream the sound from it to the speaker. But the Sony XV900 BLUETOOTH Party Speaker can do so much more than stream music from your phone. The back panel has 1/4" inputs for a microphone and guitar with volume controls next to the inputs. I tried them both. (Take care to plug a guitar into the jack marked for guitar.) My voice with a Shure microphone sounded rich and deep, and my electric acoustic guitar sounded great. Perfect for sing-alongs or karaoke. The back panel also contains a 1/8" input if your have a device you want to connect with this size cable. There is also an optical input if you want to boost sound from your TV or other device with optical out. An optical cable is provided. The back panel has a USB input that can be used for charging your phone or playing songs from a USB drive. I tried a USB drive containing songs in several different formats. The Sony Music Center app is crucial here, as you use it to choose songs from the USB drive. The XV900 was able to read songs in mp3, wma, and wav formats but did not recognize music encoded as mp2 (yes, there is such a thing), flv, mp4, or flac. So make sure your files are in a readable format. A possible downside is that the unit is not waterproof, so I would not set this up near a swimming pool or allow your guests to place their beverages on it. It is also pretty heavy (60 pounds), but it does have two wheels to help move it around. I really saw no significant problems with this speaker. Finally, the motto for Sony's X-series speakers is Live Life Loud, and the XV900 certainly lives up to that motto. I am an old-time rock 'n' roll musician who loves loud music. I could turn up the volume on the XV900 only about 3/4 of the way before it felt too loud. It will be plenty powerful for you parties. I give it my highest recommendation.

Sound box
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not a fan of the Sony, purchase this one first since it didn’t need to be plugged in to work. I decided to take it back and I ended up getting the JBL800 one. The JBL is the best between the two.

This is a top-tier Bluetooth speaker.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Long story short: I'm blown away. I'm an audio engineer and am particularly critical of speakers. If you're in the market for a speaker of this size/price/quality, you won't be disappointed with this. It's unapologetically large and heavy but it makes up for that in spades in audio quality, volume, and battery. It's the first Bluetooth speaker I've heard that doesn't sound like a Bluetooth speaker, if that makes sense. Long story long: The first thing you notice about this unit is the size and weight. It's in the neighborhood of 3 feet tall and 60 lbs (according to the box). Build quality is solid, top handles are solid and make moving the speaker easy. The audio quality is what really impressed me. Most Bluetooth speakers sound like Bluetooth speakers and are either overly tinny or obnoxiously bass-heavy. Sony really did a good job here. A little EQ in the app was all it needed to sound great. Having the proper hardware goes a long way. This unit has dedicated drivers for different frequency ranges and since it's so big, the woofer can be huge so you get real low-end instead of having to artificially boost it with software. I'm a firm believer that hardware should come first with software just filling the gaps. That seems like what Sony is doing with this unit and it shows. There's also dual mid-range drivers and dual tweeters. I don't know if this unit is summing all audio to mono or if it only has the low end in mono and uses the dual mid and high range speakers for stereo, but I haven't noticed any mono playback issues so I'd assume it's the latter - which is great. As far as loudness is concerned, 30% volume was loud enough for me in a medium sized room. This would be more than loud enough for an indoor party or medium to large outdoor gathering. There are also a few nifty features. Lights, a mic/guitar input, and a USB port for charging. Those are great but are more of a value add vs a selling feature. The *only* issue I've come across is with the app. I'd really like if the 3 band EQ became a 7 or 10 band EQ. The current EQ works but having more options would be nice. In general, if you're in the market for a speaker like this and are willing to spend this kind of money on it, this unit deserves your consideration.

Microphone can be only heard in one speaker.Non se
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have 4 such speakers, I can synchronize them all perfectly, but I don't understand why the connected microphone can only be heard in one speaker.

Posted .Hello Cezary,
Thank you for your feedback and we apologize if the sound of the microphone is only output to the speaker to which the microphone is connected. This is a standard feature of the speaker model and not an issue or malfunction. If you want the microphone sound to come from multiple speakers, you might need to use a different setup or equipment. We value your thoughts and will forward this to our team to help us improve our future products. With Omnidirectional party sound, feel the groove in every corner with six tweeters around the front, sides and rear for clarity. The X-Balanced Speaker design for the woofer produces deep, powerful bass, alongside dedicated midrange drivers for vocal clarity, even when you turn up the volume. Six tweeter units in the front, side and top will give clear high-frequency sound all around. With up to 25 hours of battery life the XV900 will keep the party powered all night. Thank you for choosing Sony! - Marco
