Dubai, UAE, 9 May 2023

Sony announced the new SRS-XV800, a speaker built to party with loud and clear sound. Whether hosting an epic party or enjoying your favorite movie or TV show, this speaker provides a powerful, room-filling sound, whatever you’re listening to and wherever you’re listening from.

Sony has also announced the new SRS-XB100, a small wireless speaker that packs a powerful, clear sound.

SRS-XV800 – Powerful surround sound for bigger parties

Life should be lived at full volume. That means getting your friends together, turning up the music to full volume, and dancing all night to clear, rich sound. The SRS-XV800 features Omni-directional Party Sound that carries powerful sound to every corner of the room. Five tweeters deliver clear sound to both the front and rear of the speaker[i], [ii]. Plus, it’s all backed up with punchy bass you can feel, thanks to dual X-Balanced Speaker Units.

Omni-directional Party Sound

Sony’s X-Balanced Speaker unit features an almost rectangular diaphragm that not only maximizes the area of the speaker diaphragm but also increases sound pressure for deeper and punchier bass, less distortion, and greater vocal clarity for a richer, clearer, and more rewarding listening experience.

Big sound on the move

With a built-in battery of up to 25 hours of listening time[iii], the SRS-XV800 will keep the music going all night. If you find your speaker running out of battery, there’s no need to worry. With the speaker’s quick charging, you can get 3 hours of playing time from just 10 minutes of charging.

Convenient carry handle

Built-in wheels and handle on the SRS-XV800 let you roll all the way to the party. Whenever you want to move the speaker simply take hold of the convenient carry handle and tilt it back. 

Indirect illumination produces ambient light, so you can light up your room in a way that matches your unique style. Create an immersive experience by simply playing music through the speaker, as the lights will automatically sync to the beat and rhythm of the music, creating a captivating display of colours[iv].

Enhance your viewing experience

Whatever you’re watching, you want the very best sound. Thanks to deep bass and room-filling sound provided by Sony’s unique TV Sound Booster you’ll get a sound so real you’ll feel like you’ve entered the world on the screen.

TV Sound Booster

A combination of TV sound and the SRS-XV800’s two rear tweeters and X-Balanced Speaker Units boost your TV watching experience by enhancing the deep bass and realistic high-frequencies. The sound waves bounce off the walls to surround you with sound. The TV Sound Booster function[v] lets you enjoy the enhanced sound of audio-visual contents, such as live performance videos and movies, and immerses you in everything you’re watching.

A portable, plug-in party-starter

The SRS-XV800 also features karaoke and guitar input, intuitive and illuminated touch panel, water resistant IPX4 rating[vi] and Bluetooth^® Fast Pair[vii] or Android^TM making it even easier to listen to music wherever you are.

Sony | Music Center and Fiestable 

The new SRS-XV800 is compatible with both Sony | Music Center and Fiestable apps. With Sony | Music Center, you can select playlists, change lighting patterns and sound modes all from the dance floor. Fiestable allows you to access fun features to help create the ultimate party atmosphere, such as making a playlist, karaoke functions including Voice Changer and Echo, plus DJ control to add sound effects.

SRS-XB100 – a small wireless speaker that packs a powerful, clear sound

The SRS-XB100 speaker is everything you need for life on the move. The speaker includes a passive radiator for powerful sound and offers clear sound even at high volumes thanks to the off-centre diaphragm. Don’t be fooled by its compact shape, this little speaker packs an impressive wide spreading sound. The Sound Diffusion Processor expands sound in any space, with its DSP technology.

IP67 Rating, Waterproof and Dustproof

The SRS-XB100 has up to 16 hours of battery life[viii], is waterproof and dustproof with an IP67 rating[ix] and comes with a durable exterior and multi-way strap so it’s perfect for life on the go. Whether you’re at home or out and about, the built-in microphone lets you enjoy hands-free calling straight through your speaker. And you can count on better, clearer calls with Echo Cancelling, which allows two people to talk at the same time without cutting off either of them.
