Product Reviews

One of my friends brought his speaker over for a party at my house and I loved it. The sound is amazing and the lights add more ambiance. I loved it so much I bought myself one and I have yet to be disappointment. The parties at my house are now off the chain and everyone loves coming to my get togethers.

Since purchasing my Sony GTK-xb7 I have had a few issues. When I pair it to multiple devices it will play about 2 or 3 songs and kick off the pairing mode. It then wants me to keep reconnecting to what ever device I'm using. My devices are always in the same room and never more than 2 or 5 feet from the speaker. Also with volume on a low to mid volume the speakers pop and sound like static. I paid 349.00 for the unit at Best Buy and this is unacceptable.

I bought two of these speaker systems for myself as a Christmas present after doing my research into party speakers and wanting to do so for over a year. I am so glad that I finally got around to buy it. I am very weary when products come with built in light features etc. because most of the time these features make those products look cheap and ruin the overall effect. BUT NOT IN THIS CASE - it adds a great effect to the look and overall experience of the speakers, so much so that the speakers are not the same with the Party Lights feature turned off! The shades and patterns of colour and the effect of the strobe lights are phenomenal. These speakers produces mind blowing sound volume, sound effect and sound quality! One of these speaker systems are overkill in a small room as the Sub-Woofers/ Bass & Tweeters/ Treble needs a large room for the sound to come to its full effect and potential and of course to make it bearable. If you have the money I recommend buying at least two of these systems. I did buy two and actually want two more! All the features these systems offer are great: The App; Bluetooth, direct wire or USE connectivity to sound source; Party Chain (for connecting two or more speaker systems); Speaker Pairing (for wireless connectivity of two speaker systems) etc. These systems are durable and built to endure a party environment. These systems are also great for use in a large house. I have NO REGRETS!

I received my GTKXB7BC system today and ran it through its paces. It has what I would call a typical Sony sound to it but maybe a little more accurate than I was expecting. The sound is big and full even at lower volumes. Bass is strong and adjustable. The pairing was straight forward and easy. The sound options in the mobile application are easy too and work well. I was able to turn off the lights which great for me. Per the product dimensions the unit is a bit big. But I can still move it comfortably enough with the dual handles. I spent a lot of time researching an outdoor portable unit (requires ac power) and couldn't be happier with the product. By far the best product I could find in this price range. Five Stars!

I purchased for my daughters 5th grade Ugly Christmas sweater party. I was the DJ and I am all about presentation. If I don’t have great equipment then it’s a wrap! I also wanted every one of 78 5th graders to remember the party forever! Sony made the most excellent amazing high powered music box in the XB7!!! I highly recommend!!!

This is my second Sony Bluetooth Speakers - Because i just LOVE SONY :) I love how you guys made this smaller and lighter but louder. The only 2 thing i wish you guys put is wheels, easy for us small people to drag it around especially to park AND also make it RECHARGEABLE Battery 6-8 hours of use. Other than that, you guys did amazing! Keep up the great work!

crazy good sound and bass. a worthy wall shaker. impresive

I bought this yesterday and the quality is amazing it didnt even take me 1 minute to set up all i had to do was tap and connect hands down a perfect speaker

I received this as a gift and could not be happier. It has great sound and was really easy to hook up to my phone. Now I can listen to my satellite radio through my phone app and can hear it anywhere in the yard. A party favorite.

bought today ,, sound sucks ,,, no volume no bass no highs

good bass and sounds amazing. it does scratch and scuff easy thought.

I received this speaker as a gift for Christmas 2016, the manufacturer date was September 2016, from day 1 it was put on a shelf in our garage so that it wouldn't get damaged, I went to turn it on a couple days ago and it wouldn't even turn on, no lights, no power, nothing. Since it's up on a shelf I always used the remote and at first I thought the batteries might have died, so I changed the batteries, but still nothing, I plugged into 3 different outlets with the same result. I called Sony today and they're refusing to do anything. I would think a $200 speaker would last more than 18 months! Very dissapointed! At least it sounded great while it was working....

Great machine pick this over its competitor jbl i love sony ill never convert

I purchased for 4yh of July celebration. Really pleased with the quality of the sound.

I bought this a month ago and absolutely love the sound. I just wish that I didn't have to go into the app and change the illumination settings every time I use it. It defaults to rave and the strobe sets off my migraines.

We like this product and plan to have a great time enjoying. we are

Great product. I love the sound and lightning great price as well.

I loved the speaker but the Bluetooth stopped working after 1 year 2 months. It will not connect. Customer service helped reset the system but it still didn't work. The whole point of the speaker is to connect wirelessly. Of course it's no longer under warranty.

1st day to start using product but i think i,m going to be happy.

I have bought 3 of these so far! One for work and two for my house. The one I bought for work has survived light rain, beer, and being shipped across the ocean several times. It gets loud enough to fill a large aircraft hangar, or cover about half a football field outdoors. The only thing I would change is that the power jack should be recessed more because if it falls on its back the jack will break. I actually had to solder the power cord directly to the PCB on my work one because it broke the jack. That’s why I took two stars off the design. I could fix it, but the average person could not. It also doesn’t have an 1/8” aux jack which is inconvenient at times (-1 on features).

Man this thing is hella dope, always gets the party lit for real especially if you can pair em up. Worth the money considering ive blown so many cheap speakers.

I've had this speaker for about 6 months now and it has been through countless parties. It has amazing sound and it perfect size to carry around.

they put out amazing sound but there is a lag when trying to DJ or watch movies, is this common? synchronization is off by a few milliseconds and it is very noticeable . this occurs when using the RCA input or over BlueTooth connections i own 2 and the same thing happens. is there any way i can fix that ?

I just bought this speaker and it really jams!! It isn't portable so plan for a little space. The lights are a nice feature too! If you want a speaker that has a punch then this is the one for the price!

I like to compare this to another speaker even another Sony to see if I’m getting full power out of this I’m thinking the bass could be deeper and the speaker Could be louder.....

Excellent sound from speaker. Out of box the treble is low. Downloaded the app and turned on the clear sound setting and that made all the difference .

What a wonderful way to introduce lively music into the house. Now we can dance anywhere! Sound quality from these speakers also great for soft background music. Nice feature to play music from playlists on anybody's smartphone. Optional light show is also fun

Love everything about this speaker except for one thing. The app has only preset eq`s . Would prefer at least a 5 band manual. Other than that this speaker blows everything else away! Maybe you can remedy that and I`ll give it 6 stars.

I just recently purchased one and it worked fine. I added another speaker through the output in the back and after 15 min, it stopped working the other speaker. I tried resetting it and changed the cables and nothing. The out on the audio out, located in the back, no longer works

I purchased this after hearing it in a large open space area and loved how it sounded. Came back the next day after thinking about it. Well its freaking kick butt---I take it to the bar I frequent and play it on the patio area ...I can rattle windows with this unit...I would so love to see 10" speakers on the next build with the same features ....the only think it lacks is real strobes and brighter LED's that make it really stand out but overall this thing kicks butt...

This has got to be the best purchase I've made in years.

I bought this unit the 28th of January a 2018 and it is a great unit I just bought one speaker and thinking about buying another one

i have 2 speakers connected via audio and they sound great but now cut off unexpectantly. they are connected by audio cable and into the audio input on speakers (separately) not paired

Man I love these Bluetooth speakers, I purchased two and they play at same time on Bluetooth. I'm blasting them now in January and look forward to having them on the patio while our family is in the pool!

I really love the bass and sound of this speaker. The best part is the added base button. So, I can boost the bass anytime I want.

Purchased for Christmas gift..... easy to setup and configure. Bluetooth was simple to set up. Great sound quality and the lighting system that is built in is a lot of fun!

Great gift! A glass of wine and my music :) The sound is clear and crisp, the bass is an extra club effect lol! I don’t like when it’s linked with my smart phone and I can hear sounds like messages or notifications/ I turn the phone sounds off. I also had to remove my Otterbox case, the Bluetooth would stop if I went too far away from the speaker too. Overall a good jam speaker

I bought this about 6 months ago and it's a great product but whenever I take it places, I'm scared that it'll be damaged by weather(water, dust, etc) during the transportation. I'm not worried about impact damage as much because im very cautious with it. Any suggestions?

Won this at a Christmas Party, best gift ever!!!!!

The bass is so good that it can rattle my door and my wardrobe. It’s actually incredible for the price

I bought two of these units less than a year ago. The sound and lights are great when the speakers work. One of the units quit working completely at the 10 month point. When I called for warranty service the rep was VERY rude. She made me feel like it was a true inconvenience for her to provide me support. Practically every portion of the internal workings was replaced, but they didn’t replace the unit. Now my second speaker’s Bluetooth light indicator has quit working. All within 10 months of purchasing the speakers. My gut feeling Is that the repaired speaker will go out again and it’ll be out of warranty. Extremely disappointed in the NEW Sony quality and even more dissatisfied with the poor customer service.

I can't say enough about this. Excellent sound and design.

I was looking for a good speaker that sounded good at high volume. This is just the perfect one for me. I love the lights and the sound quality is just perfect.

Love the concept and for many types of music (EDM, House, Techno), the sound is awesome BUT for anything else like rock, country, much pop, the sound (highs and mids) gets muddy quick to where it's not enjoyable to listen to, even at moderate to lower volumes. I was hoping the Sony Music Center app would have a proper 7 or even 5 band EQ to fix this, but it doesn't. The speakers are much more capable than we are allowed to hear. LG's FH6 is a much better choice for sound, not even close and it's because *all* music generes sound amazing in the high/mids frequencies...IF Sony would add a proper EQ to the app and an optical input, they would be back on top of the party speaker niche as it is more portable.

Had the speaker for a year now. No problems. Wish this was around when I was younger. I always buy Sony products. This speaker rocks.

I bought this in March, the product works great with my old IPod Touch , but disconnects when playing music on my I phone 8. Please help, I have looked in the settings and turned of other Bluetooth devices in the house and the xb7 is still disconnecting

Less than a year of usage and bluetooth connection is already laggy and disconnects.

The sound system is very good. Nice bass for college dorm. perfect speaker

The speakers definitely rocked my room with extra bass & I own 2 of these...But the lights work independently despite my multiple tries to sync them with the app & remote independently. The app only supports the lead speaker A lights instead of both speakers on Bluetooth mode which is what I use most. On the plus side one remote works for both speakers but a backlight on the remote would help at night. You can't also just turn the center led light on like a led light but only works as a strobe light which could be added to the app since the led lights in the center is the brightest. Sony please fix the deficiencies to your app & add the features to your app I mentioned above. Overall love the speakers.

The speaker itself is great but there are a lot of problems with the SongPal app for iPhone and unfortunately you cannot use the speaker by itself without the SongPal app. When trying to play music via USB drive, the speaker is disconnecting a lot, the song list is not displayed properly and most of the time is not displayed at all, you cannot set Shuffle All or repeat all or any other similar function. You need to close the app and connect again to the speaker in order to gain access to the USB drive.

I wanted something to use in my large backyard that had good sound.

After reading the reviews and comments and looking up Youtube videos about this product, there wasn't no disappointment! So I purchased mine and it's truly amazing! Great sound quality, build well! Lights amazing! Love it!

I was given this as a present for my birthday and was amazed by the sound. The flashing lights just finished off the surprise. The sound is amazing and is like a mini disco in your garden. Also play the radio through it during the day.

I bought this a few days ago and can't stop using it, its the best speaker I've ever bought

I bought this speaker 2 weeks ago and let me tell you, this speaker is really nice. I'll set it on half volume and my entire room bumps. If you like a lot of bass like I do, then this is the speaker for you, perfect for parties and events. The lights make a great touch to the system as well.

Anybody looking for speakers, these are the ones. I brought them to a party and they were a hit. Everyone was asking where I got them, they were a hit.

We use this speaker everyone from cookouts to group works, etc. It has not disappointed us in any shape or form.

These are very nice speakers that sound pretty good. I purchased two of them and connect them together. Sometimes, the speakers will disconnect from each other OR just turn themselves off altogether. I later purchased two SRS-XB40 speakers because they advertised they would connect to a "Party Chain". When i got them home I learned the two different speakers WILL NOT connect to each other and therefor eliminating the reason for me buying them. I don't know why the four speakers can not be connected together. Please fix this issue SONY.

Brought two of these speakers for my sons birthday party.Everybody loved the look and the sound quality.

I bought this speaker a couple of days ago and I'm in love! I consider this one of the best speakers you can get for this price. The sound is amazing, you can hear everything very clearly and the bass is nice. The color options are a great touch. This is great for fires and house parties. Just wish it had a portable option so you don't have to always have it plugged in. Other than that this is a great speaker and I would recommend it over most other brands.
