Power iffy

The power is iffy. This pic randomly turned off sometimes for no apparent reason. Also speaker did not come with the remote. I had to buy that separately. Sound quality is OK. Definitely could be louder though.

Let me tell you

I'm 25 listen to two(2) every other day if not more when you have them both laying down with extra bass you will get about 3-4 hours out of them before they disappoint you

It’s a great speaker but...

I’ve had this speaker for about 2 years now and the speaker has been great and everything then the power button just stopped working out of no where if I hit it hard with the handle for a hammer or screw driver it will turn on but it does not work the normal way and it’s a pain

RIP GTK-XB7

I bought this speaker back in 2017 and it worked well, at first. Sound was great, the lights were atmospheric and it made my gaming more fun! Then the glitches began but nothing that couldn't be resolved. Enter Nov 9, 2020, as I'm watching a video, the speaker turns off. I unplugged and re-plugged it in to no avail. No power. I attempted to set it back to default demo mode, still nothing. Tried to contact support. Nothing. Looked for spare parts. Nothing. Sony, if you want to keep your customers happy, offer better product support. I'm now in the possession of a oversized paperweight. Please don't give me the "You no longer offer support for that product nonsense" especially when you're dishing out re-tweaked versions of the SAME SPEAKER!!!

Great sound, but died after two years

I've been enjoying the product for almost three years. The sound is great. I would be extremely satisfied, however last week the product stopped in the middle of playing a song. When I checked it, the power light was off and I couldn't get to come back on. I performed the normal troubleshooting (another outlet, another power cable) and have determined through online research that perhaps its main fuse quit. Unfortunately you must be a electronics technician to take the device apart and solder a new fuse onto one of the boards. This is disappointing and should be an easier fix to replace a fuse.

Lights

Great speaker and wanting to buy a second. My only complaint is that you can’t turn off the lights without using the app, which is a problem if anyone other than you is paired to the speaker

All around amazing speaker

I have one and I use it for parties at my house and I take it for football tailgating. It keeps up with people that bring big speakers. The lights are bright. I highly recommend getting. I’m thinking about getting another one.

Great speaker, but glitchy

The speakers by themselves sound great but I bought two of these for the speaker add function and it is rare that I can last more than an hour without the speakers going out of sync or just randomly starting to glitch, when they are working they sound great though, if It wasn’t for this annoyance it would’ve been 5 stars

Poor

By far the worst speaker I’ve ever purchased. This was my second Sony speaker I purchased and both times the volume buttons quit working. Definitely not worth the money

Stopped working after 8 months

Bought this on black Friday last year and it was awesome. This was the best speaker ever. It was loud, portable, just needed a simple plug. My wife and I used it on the weekends when we were working on the house. But after 8 months, it just didn't turn on. The lights came on and everything, but the power button didn't turn on. The only thing I would change would be for the lights to not be set to turn on as default, or have a button on the unit to turn the lights off instead of just the remote.

One powerful unit...

I just replaced an older bluetooth speaker with this Sony Gtx-xb7 bt speaker and I am stunned by the superior audio quality of my newest bt speaker. The connections are easy to make, the USB function works so smoothly with the remote that comes with it, and the EQ really hits the mark in high fidelity. The volume of sound is amazing. I see this product as a great sound system. Thank you...

THE GREAT QUALITY OF SOUND

I bought this 2 months ago and so far it has not failed me. It sounds amazing, great strobe, and even better base. The only thing that I wish it could do better is to have an internal battery source.

Great speaker for parties at home!

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.

Problems

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.

ALL YOU NEED FOR A GREAT PARTY!

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!

Fantastic sound and value

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!

Amazing bass and sound!!!

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!!!

Love This!

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!

Great sound

By Gazz 7.

I have been looking for a new music system to replace my old one I had I found this and and my kids said it looked great it is the sound is quality and it has replaced my home cinema system. When the lights are on the kids love it it's their mini disco but the sound is anything but mini it's quality I am more than happy.

great sound and lighting

By leaney41

What an awesome bit of kit it truly sounds amazing. Im buying another one but only because you can then have one left and one right by linking them together with a touch of a button plus ill then have about 940 watts of pukka sound a big thumbs up to Sony !!!
