Sony SRS-XV500 Portable Bluetooth Karaoke Party Speaker & Karaoke Machine, 25-Hour Battery, Splash Resistant, Ambient Lights

I recently picked up this speaker for our school events, and it has completely transformed the way we handle sound! We were fed up with unreliable tech that often delivered disappointing audio quality, so I decided to invest in this gem. Let me tell you, it truly exceeded my expectations!From the moment I paired it with my phone, I was blown away by how powerful and clear the sound was. We took it to a barbecue in the park with over 200 kids, and the sound carried all the way to the parking lot! It ran for three hours without a hitch and still had plenty of battery leftover. If you’re planning a big event, I definitely recommend creating an awesome playlist and connecting your device—it really amps up the atmosphere. I’m even thinking about getting a compatible microphone to take things to the next level.Just a heads up: the speaker is on the bulky side, so you might want to have a wagon or another convenient way to transport it. Overall, while it may be a bit of an investment, trust me—it’s worth every penny!

This bad boy here is a must have. The sound quality is 💯. The battery is 💯. The price and amazon payment option was 💯. The fact that it holds the same battery percentage when not in use is 💯. So I don't have to keep charging it. Just get the speaker. Oh and it is on the heavier side but I don't mind because everything else is 💯.

I placed this Sony boombox at the end on our 70 feet long front porch and we all can enjoy a crisp clear cutting edge sound. The Bluetooth feature in connection with the two Sony apps for sound and Lightshow work like a breeze. I am a musician and this Sony boom box is one of the few which plays my recordings in an almost audiophile quality. My BOSE Soundsystem looks pretty poor here in comparison. I left the EQ Settings like they are. Not necessary to involve Mega Bass so far. Loudness can be fine tuned either via my iPad or via the Sony app. The Lightshow feature is a fancy add on, might make sense for any party crowd. The haptic and material building quality are top notch. It is heavy, yes, which to me is simply a sign of high quality. A remote control becomes obsolete because of the Sony apps. Out from a distance of over 50 feet I am able to tweak the settings, fantastic! I play all kind of synths, from entire string orchestra emulations to Hammond B3, flutes, drum kits, guitars and the like. This Sony boombox gives the most detailed referential soundscape, very close to my Edifier and Yamaha high end studio monitors. My neighbors are positively overwhelmed when listening to my tracks through this Sony SRS-XP 700. No complaints at all. My reputation as a neighborhood studio musician has skyrocketed from Zero to 100 within half an hour. There are numerous serious reviews by pros one can read before buying this boom box. Whatever this term “boom box” means anyway. To me this is an audiophile system of its own. I will also use it for all our party events, indoor and outdoors. I guess that due to its unique speaker configuration, it creates spacious soundscapes like when they are meant to be with a touch of reverberation effect whenever applied to in my recordings. Sony did an outstanding job here, undoubtedly they did.

First of all this is Sara's husband leaving his first and only product review. My wife doesn't care about speakers because she's a woman, but I do. And I will tell you, this is the greatest speaker I've ever owned. Just buy it and thank me later. I told my buddies do yourself a favor and treat yourself for Christmas, you've earned it. I bought this to replace my 7 year old Sony speaker and thought it was the same one. It definitely is not. I tested this bad boy out and I can hear it down the block, my neighbors will probably start sending me thank you letters for playing Shoot to Thrill to get them amped up for the day. The sound quality is perfect, the bass is like a full body experience. Having a bad day? Then take a shower with your speaker and get all those negative emotions out. Having a good day? Make it even better. Just buy the speaker boys. And no I'm not paid by Sony to say this, but I probably should be.
