The Sony SRS-XV800 is a very solid party speaker: it gets sufficiently loud and has enough bass to heat up the next party. However, it is not suitable for more relaxed music sessions with higher demands due to the somewhat washed-out sound, and there are also better alternatives for TV speakers...
- Top quality equipment
- Simple operation
- Rollers
- Many functions in the app
- Top sound
- Generous equipment
- Powerful bass
- Very long running time
- Very many connections
- A little thin in the centre
- quite heavy
- Touch surface very smooth
The Sony party speaker delivers an amazing battery life and scores with a wide range of connections. In addition to all kinds of jack sockets, there is even an optical digital input that can be used to connect the SRS XV800 to a TV. The sound is all about partying, which is particularly noticeable in the powerful bass. When music fans switch on the "Mega Bass", the walls shake.

- Loud, voluminous sound
- Enormous bass
- Buttons on the device
- Variable lighting
- Centres could be better
- A little more clarity in the sound would be nice
