Know before you buy
The speaker has an IPX4 water-resistant rating, which means it is protected against light splashes and mist. While it can handle a poolside environment or a light drizzle, it is not waterproof and should not be submerged or left out in heavy rain.
You can expect up to 25 hours of playback on a full charge. Keep in mind that using the ambient LED lighting and high volume levels will drain the battery faster than standard usage.
Yes, the XP700 features dedicated inputs for both a microphone and a guitar. This makes it a versatile choice for live performances, karaoke sessions, or busking.
The unit weighs 16.9 kg, which is substantial. However, it is designed with a built-in handle to make it easier to transport between rooms or to your car.
Party Connect allows you to wirelessly link multiple compatible Sony speakers together to play the same music simultaneously. It is a great way to synchronize sound across a larger space for a more immersive audio experience.
