One of the better reviews out there for this speaker, and I've seen quite a few. I also have the XV900 and I agree that it sounds great but its volume-to-size ratio is off and I truly believe that Sony just does not understand what people expect "Mega Bass" to mean. Or, they understand but choose to ignore consumer demand. It's no surprise that the smaller JBL 310 can out-boom the VX900. It was actually a sort of kindness of you to not go right to comparing the XV900 to the 710 because the 710 will beat it easily. The only thing that stood out to me on your review that I thought was off-base is when you referred to the largest driver as a woofer. I can say with certainty, and Sony's own documentation backs me up, that it is merely a huge but full-range *driver*. It is not a woofer. There are no woofers in this box. That big driver has amazingly little excursion even at full volume. Had they made it into a real subwoofer the XV900 would have actually had a chance to beat the JBL 710, but they didn't, so it doesn't. Too bad. Still a nice speaker overall.
Hay algo del XV900 de SONY que no se espicifica, es que se puede escuchar relativamente fuerte, no tanto quizás como el jbl, pero a su máximo volumen no va a distorcionar, es pura fidelidad.
You might be mistaken re: port direction. Bass operates essentially Omni directionally, placing any woofer closer to a wall or corner will add a baffle step effect and allow for more efficient radiating of bass, thus creating a boost. Placing the port in front will allow the user to place the speaker flush against a wall without choking the reflex port and thus causing a loss of bass/excursion as with rear ports. Therefore, this may be a superior system if you are looking to adjust the position for maximum bass output.
For people who say Sony bass isn't great, just a great reminder is that they are party speakers. The bass is tuned more for SPL than JBL does. I have an XP700 and the bass isn't super deep just because it's all SPL tuned. I have a 1300watt RMS Sony system and I can hear the XP700 from outside the house more than my high powered system.
Comparison to JBL710 and bass being better... 710 is corded. When XV900 is corded, the bass increases... I've found the whole spectrum of quality increases when plugged in. To my non-professional ears, the XV900 sounds better, especially when plugged.
Interesting, I’ll have to check that. Just got my XV900 and wasn’t overly impressed with power of bass when not plugged in. It rattles the room, no doubt about it, it just doesn’t seem to hit HARD. I really find it to be a perfect speaker for my “man cave.”
Agree… in my 3 car garage that holds no cars… just toys, tools and wood working gear. With 2 door open, it’s loud to surrounding area…. Close door and sound contained but still can wake the area easily. Bass is strong, but I’d agree it’s not a sharpe bass that punches… it has good bass though. Have fun in the man cave!
Well for what it is its a good speaker but the fact a JBL Partybox 310 has a noticeable amount of more deeper bass than the XV-900 on punchy bothers me. Either way great review
Dies off at 32 Hz and good bass at 36 Hz. In DC mode 110 wins no difficulty in AC Mode I think it's putting up a good match but I never had the Partybox 110 so Idk who wins exactly.
If yall really want deep bass.. Get a PA System or Subwoofers & Amp in your car.. These are made for home conditions, you cant expect super deep bass without an amplifier or when you live around neighbors
I own the xp500 and the xp700. I will not be touching the xv900. Why? I play music outdoors. Compared to the ones that came before it, the xv900 is relatively sucky in what concerns resistant to the elements. It sucks.
I own a partybox 310 " I had for a few years now but I have too amit that the Sony kicked its ass ." But its $400 dollars more 🤔 Maybe the 710 is a better comparison
I think the title is wrong, because SONY had made good Bluetooth speakers, you said that the XB90 was good, also XB43. I know that you don’t like the warm signature sound from Sony, I am happy that you do like this SONY. I think that SONY can do if they want
Everyone is talking about the bass, i mean it's not at the level of JBL 710 or even 310 but the vocal clarity is just perfect. As a party speaker high bass will be much needed but if in a room party where in every corner the vocals will go clearly then i don't find this speaker that of a bad buy.
I really don't get some of your reviews. I bought the Sony XG300 and imho it's excellent (if a bit overpriced). I went and watched and read a whole lot of other reviews and they were mostly very praise worthy of the XG300. I'm absolutely loving it yet you seemed to not like it at all 🤷🤷🤷🤷. I think it's just a more you thing.....
@@GYMCADDY Do you do any subwoofer reviews? As you probably realized by me 1st comment I'm a really "bass"-type of guy, and I like the bass deep and loud.
I have had the Sony 700 version for about two years , it’s miles better then any of the JBL I have had ! I’m a DJ and use these for wedding ceremonies.
Also when you consider the partybox 710 is the same price as the xv900 it becomes no contest. Sonys can be pretty but jbl partyboxes simply crush them.
Hehe, for 1 Sony speaker you can get 2 actives and a decent bluetooth DAC. Yeah, I know, it's an apples to bananas comparison. But even so, you'll have some cash left for beers in your men's cave
I just recently got the xv900, all I can say is disappointment. It has little to no durability at all, it's not whether proof or water resistant in any way, it's big bulky, and doesn't roll very well. Even though it can be taken from place to place. It's hard to call this a portable speaker. Unboxing is a pain. It scratches so easily on almost everything it comes in contact with. Not recommended for hardwood floors and definitely not for sitting or rolling on concrete. It drags and scrapes on the ground! Make sure to use moving blankets when transporting in the back seat! Somehow the soft fabric of my car seats rubbing back and forth from traveling caused blemishes on the cheap plastic 🤔 It has a 12in square subwoofer. It lacks low bass. When you invest this kind of money, you'd expect more. Everything else is just ok.
Why does sodie always do scatter shots and/or hit And misses with their d*** speakers???? Sounds good But everything else is a g****** sacrifice and then you can't even Daisy cheated and there is no Water protection even though it's an outdoor speaker! Come on Sony I really wanted to buy this but what the h*** I might try the 700 since I could at least Daisy Chase it to my 310 Wooooow so basically just buy 2 310s got it!
One problem! It has JBL Partybox 110 level bass! I have asked people and it sucks! Big speaker, but not enough deep bass! 🤣🤣🤣 110 is pretty weak under 40Hz! Not that loud!

I bought the 310 a few months ago with a bit less than 500 dollars, best purchase ever
JBL IS KING 🤴

Very good and detailed review with comparison included. Thank you
This guy just has to much beef with sony
Jbl 310 mid is crisp and when beat drops I can feel clear punches and price is also good so I'll go with Jbl 310.
can't go wrong with the 310
Monster portable speaker from Sony. 👍❤️
Nope monster big

I like the party box 310. Because it's easy to carry and it has aux output which you can connect to other brand speaker.
excellent video!!!
regarding Sony party-connect, do they have signal delay between speakers? noticeable delay?

Hello,why you not produseed about partybox 1000 and samsung mxt90
I cant believe the partybox 310 had just as much bass as this sony.
Sony used to be world's favourite audio systems till 1990s. Glad to see a great product in 2023

I hear a lot fuller sound from the Sony pb310 sounds V Shaped 710 against this would be more fair
All jbl speakers have thing mid and high with make very uncomfortable for long term listen
How about LDAC and EQing.

JBL partybox 310 87 volume Sony XV 900 75 that's not fair the xv 900 is actually louder can the JBL party box 310
Drink a shot everytime he says, "however".
Speaker isn’t worth the money in my opinion. JBL Partybox 300 or 310 is the best option for anyone.
Returned my 310 today for the xv900, the mids were non-existent, the treble was too quite, but the bass was decent on the 310
Ehhh no RCA...no connecting my dj deck then. Hmmm
Rca to aux? It can work that way yknow.
For bass lover definitely JBL
Who use the punchy bass mode on 310, no fun.
@gamingcaddy yea right 😄
In india it's available for 650$
I like it.
