Product Reviews

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.

very good speakers with a high efficiency and great bass

I bought this last week and couldn't be happier! I have the XB40 and this speaker is basically a larger version so I had to get it. The sound quality is great, the volume is as well. The bass is outstanding! Perfect for a party with the flashy, or calm lights that YOU can set yourself.

I bought this thing last week so I can't speak towards its durability (yet). I can. Tell you that it is solidly constructed, I had no issue connecting it to my iPhone via Bluetooth and the sound is outstanding. Would I use it in a garage band? No. Would I use it in my house or at a party? Oh yeah... looking forward to it. I may even give it a shot in the back of my jeep this summer, we'll see.

Admittedly, I stumbled into this purchase because I was looking for a louder alternative to standard portable bluetooth speakers it was pleasantly surprised with the sound quality I got here. I instantly noticed the clarity in the sound. At lower volumes there seems to be a greater bass response that when the speaker is being pushed. I purchased one to meet my needs for small get togethers but am considering purchasing a second for more versatility. The app works great and gives some more advanced lighting features. I do wish that it did have better usability feature particularly around the DJ effect options. I strongly considered a different brand but ultimately desided on the XB7 because the the overall design and aesthetic.

Everything is great about this speaker...no complaints!!! Note wish it had a bulit in portable battery!

I bought 2 of them, and I connected them exactly as they said, and after few songs I realised that second one is playing half second later than the first one( the 1 connected to my phone, Sony Xperia Z5 Premium) among ather sound distortions.... Lights are working independently..... I am very disappointed.....

I bought this speaker two weeks ago I am regretting I did once you start playing a song and you turn the volume up you lose all bass which defeat the purpose of buying this speaker in the first instance.

If connecting to Laptop use INSIGNIA USB Bluetooh Adapter for Windows PCs.

Mainly brought this for family parties and it makes such a difference regarding the volume. The lights also make an good effect.

This speaker is so loud and so clear! The bass is freaking awesome and I love the light show! It is possible to find this speaker at lower prices but it is worth the price that Sony is selling it for! This speaker has to be plugged in and that is the only drawback to this wonderful speaker.

I bought this without a single doubt, amazing speaker, roughly 470watts, great volume with great clarity, best speaker around that can be bass boosted, eq'd and still produce crisp sound - WARNING BASS BOOST AND EQ AT OWN RISK, SOUND WILL DISTORT IF U OVER DO IT - the fix is to simply turn off all boosts and eq magic, turn off and unplug then re plug in the speaker and play quieter, the max vol with phone is loud enough for a small house party, roughly 20-30 people, but to gain extra volume you need a larger power input like a laptop or wire an amplifier in line with a phone or laptop, the bluetooth is great, the lights flash and change colour in sync with the music very well, best lighted speaker around, best quality and price for what you get by far, the xb5 isnt loud enough for a teenager house party but the xb7 is just about but can easily be amplified for that extra volume to keep dem peoples movin!!!!

The bass is superb with no distortion at high volume levels, tweeters are relatively crisp and clear, the lighting and DJ effects is a nice addition. Overall I would rate this speaker a 10 out of 10.

Very good and sturdy product, me and my friends use it all the time and we absolutely love it. I would highly recommend buying this but the only catch with it is that you do have to plug it in for electricity but if you can get past that you won't regret buying it.

So happy of it, thinking of buying a second one!!! Sounds loud and clear. Nice features easy to work with.

We bought this as a birthday present for our teenage daughter. She doesn't tend to use the app or the remote but clicked into it with her mobile through Bluetooth. The sound is amazing - good enough for a party - and it doesn't seem to distort. The flashing colours are great too - like a club dance floor. She is over the moon with it and thinks she has some very cool parents now !! :)

I bought this just a week ago and my family loves it.

Just bought it. Sound is amazing. Had to do a system reset to get it initially hooked to my BT. AC plug in on the back of the speaker is a bit flimsy. Unplugged it one time (system reset) and it is now slightly loose. Other than that, i'm liking it. Like the fact that I can take another one of these and do L/R speaker setup!

I bought this two weeks ago for my handicapped son who is a DJ. Needing new speakers this product is ideal and certainly looks and sounds the part.

It has an amazing sound and plenty of bass maybe too much but it's perfect.

So pleased with the sound and so portable for caravan rallies

I use this speaker going through my Xbox and tv it's got amazing base and the lights are cool and I can control the speaker with an app on my fone amazing product would recommend to anybody
