SRS-XV800 –
Powerful surround sound for bigger parties
Life should be lived at full volume. Turn up the music to full volume and dance all night with friends to clear and rich sound with the SRS-XV800.

Five tweeters deliver clear sound to both the front and rear of the speaker.1,2 Plus, it’s all backed up with higher clarity, less distortion and punchy bass thanks to dual X-Balanced Speaker Units.
Sony’s X-Balanced Speaker unit features an almost rectangular diaphragm that not only maximises 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 time1, the SRS-XV800 will keep the music going all night. If the speaker is running out of battery, there’s no need to worry. With the speaker’s quick charging, users can get up to 3 hours of playing time from just 10 minutes of charging.2
The built-in wheels and handle on the SRS-XV800 allows for an easy roll all the way to the party. Whenever moving the speaker simply take hold of the convenient carry handle and tilt it back.
Indirect illumination produces ambient light, lighting up the room in a way that matches anyone’s 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 colors. 3,4

Thanks to deep bass and room-filling sound provided by Sony’s unique TV Sound Booster consumers will get a sound so real, it will feel like they’ve entered the world on the screen.6
A combination of TV sound and the SRS-XV800’s two rear tweeters and X-Balanced Speaker Units boost the TV watching experience by enhancing the deep bass and realistic high-frequencies.
