Review on Sony SRS-XP700: X-Series Wireless Portable Karaoke Party Speaker with Bluetooth, IPX4 Splash-Resistance, 25-Hour Battery Life by Adam Ross

I was looking to replace my old component stereo and wired speakers in my backyard pool. I looked at Bose, JBL and this Sony, I was able to test all 3 in the store and settled on the Sony 700. All were very close as they were tested in store. It wasn't until I brought the Sony home that the difference was apparent. This thing is so loud and clear. I had high expectations but this thing delivers more than expected. Of course I had to see how loud it would be outside. Okay, the neighbors should have asked what that noise was. I gave 4 stars for battery life as I didn't have that long to comment. I'll update when I get a better idea of battery usage. I have to say I'm really impressed with this Sony. I usually use Bose but not on this one and the technology is stunning compared to my old component system. It was sent by Revain, quickly and with no damage when it got to my house. VERY PRETTY
