Older models: the Sony SRS-XP500 (ranked higher, rated 4/5) and the Sony GTK-XB60 (ranked lower, rated 2.1/5). See every Sony GTK, XP and XV generation.
Pros: A slightly warm party speaker with plenty of bass punch that gets very loud outdoors, plus karaoke inputs and a long battery. RTINGS measured a slightly warm sound with plenty of bass punch, and found it gets very loud for outdoor parties. Two 140mm woofers and two 60mm tweeters in a bass reflex cabinet, with a claimed 25 hours of battery life and a 10 minute quick charge for about 2.5 hours of play. Two 6.3mm inputs switch between microphone and guitar, with karaoke controls for key, echo and per-input volume, plus a 3.5mm aux input. IPX4 splash resistance and built-in lighting.
Cons: RTINGS measured poor directivity, so the sound changes noticeably as you move off to the sides. Bass compresses and pumps as you approach maximum volume. At 11.2 kg it is heavy to carry, and IPX4 only covers splashes.
