Sony's SRS lineup they've descended on us with this big boy the XV 900 this is the largest of their gigantic party siiz Bluetooth speakers and is currently their top-of-the-line model I need a knife this one is not exactly per size though and weighs in at about 60 lb got styrofoam on top starting with an optical cable woo this speaker is really neat cuz it actually has RGB so it kind of puts the party back into things I don't know if that's more of a gimmick but we'll see how bright it is so we've got this uh clear plastic thing along the I guess top and bottom yeah it's got it on the top too nice thing is it's got a couple handles right on top here so you can carry it around there's some Wheels along the back so you can troll it around that way and we'll start getting into all the speakers and it has quite a few it's got one of the Giant 12-in x 12in square woofers down here couple of mid drivers out front and then a couple more tweeters in the top there the other neat thing is that kind of more of a surround thing so on each side it's got another two tweeters and another two on the top this thing's probably going to put out some volume but hopefully the sound quality will match its heft it comes with a plethora of inputs as well something that it's nice that's included is a pair of/ quinch Jack one of them is for a microphone so if you want to do karaoke or something like that this will be kind of more your your style and then it's also got either a second mic input or a guitar input it's switchable between mic and instrument input the optical input allows you to hook it up to a TV and kind of use it in TV mode so it'll sync with whatever's on screen and if you're playing say karaoke videos or anything like that you can just kind of have it as an all-in-one unit it has your standard Ox input so you pass the phone around stick it uh somewhere a nice feature they've included is a little USB output Port here so you can charge your phone when you have it attached you're not really supposed to leave this plugged in all the time cuz this thing is a wireless Bluetooth speaker most of its battery because there are 5 hours of continuous use although in the service manual they kind of specify that that's at a at a reasonable volume with all the RGB off and they get 12 hours at a reasonable volume with the lights on the minimum will do is 4 hours at maximum volume with all the lights on not too bad rather power efficient when it's uh kind of just in the background they're also claiming that 10 minutes of charging will give you 3 hours of run time so if it's dying in the middle of your 3-day Bender couple licks on the power cord and you're good to go God it's heavy uh oh crap it's battery powered I forgot Okay so we've turned it on it's got the typical Sony Mega base button which is on by default which is fine I guess we've also got transport controls here cuz it is a Bluetooth speaker right it's basically just a gigantic Bluetooth speaker that you're used to and then we've got these nice colorful things here where we can adjust our RGB is it reactive to sound now it must be internal these are going to be your two tweeters on top as well they're actually angled back slightly so it's not going to shoot at the ceiling it's going to fire back so if you're behind the speaker you can get some good sound too thank you Roland for

back to it it has Google Fast pair so it immediately popped up on my phone to sync which is super nice no fussing around with uh holding the button down and doing all that sort of thing and we can now see it in Sony's music app so let's get connected and set it up okay it's pairing now tap to pair pair and connect Bluetooth connected woo battery about 80% oh it I accidentally pushed the battery button it just tells you battery about 80% like Sony's other SRS speakers this one has the ability to group with other speakers so if you were a crazy person and bought four of these and put them in every corner of the room it's easier than doing multi-room audio so yeah she stands about 35 in tall 16 wide and 18 deep so it's it's you know it's quite Hefty you can see compared to me how big it is okay my phone volume can control it which is nice um okay let's turn it up eight Christ my heart is going this very very loud let's try this again at a reasonable volume and have a listen to those side speakers in the top speaker yeah the tweeters are not quite as active as I expected for how much like you know highb bands coming out of this I would have liked to see maybe some mid drivers on the side as well but this isn't an omed and directional speaker so this is probably going to go in a corner somewhere and having a little bit of side fill is kind of nice now we kind of have it in a place where I would expect it to be maybe in a house party something like that also you must really hate your neighbors uh unfortunately it's mirrored so it's piano black on top so it's covered in fingerprints now standing right here the Base is almost deafening but as soon as I move away a little bit um it sounds a bit better so you better be careful with walls and Floors around this thing because it's going to change the sound a lot for speakers this big and this basy let's play with some of the sound settings that uh Sony includes in their app we got an additional couple controls in here besides the giant mega base button on the front we also have a live sound button which I guess would probably cut down the base and boost the highs let's have a listen I don't really like that one as much I was just hoping for more high band um but we have some extra sounds in here so we can do a custom um Unfortunately they only give us three controls uh so this is flat at the moment and I'm just going to boost the travel until I'm kind of happy with it so that sound setting seems a little bit more appropriate in this environment at least the base is still really thumpy right here but I'm standing right next to a wall so I'm definitely in some of the reflections but out in the room it's a lot better and giving a little bit of a queue kind of fixes maybe some of that sounds cleaner and a little bit brighter and more of a sound profile that I would want to play at a party you have speech you have dancing you know all that sort of thing you don't necessarily need ultra high fidelity audio in that kind of thing just quiet background music but then later in the night you know you turn it up and you have a fun time I Wish It beeped when or vibrated or did something when you pushed a button okay we were talking about DJ FS here's the isolator and here's the flanger it's like sleep ales this demon music Crump with me Bart now I think we need to go into illumination and then lighting mode oh we have different lighting modes this would have been nice to include on the top this is the delightful color mode we also have Rave which I guess is maybe a little bit more pronounced I was hoping they'd be brighter to be perfectly honest maybe there's a control for that we have chill chill is not this speaker if you bring this to a we got strobe that's that's more like it and then uh gradiation grad gradation not graduation which I read three times in a row we've got some boring battery power management stuff too it's got stamina mode so if you want it to last for a long time uh battery care of course when you're charging it to not destroy the battery over a long period of time and the last thing to look at is the F stable F stable app um which is the companion one for lighting control um we have DJ control which is kind of neat select one mode let's do party flash hey there we go doing this and it's making it blink we also have a custom color we can set it to whatever we want that looks like ShortCircuit blue sure motion control this is the strangest app I've ever seen uh what what do I want to do I want to play oh there that worked and then if I want to do volume up oh wow that actually did work this is weird what do I just hold it I'm going to do that here all right yeah this is uh this is what it sounds like inside my head at all times motion control is weird and very strange we've got it hooked up to the TV now with Optical it was really nice of them to include one cuz like who has one of those anymore but you know Works instantly what are expectations when we defy them are we breaking the mold what if they expected me to do that who are they okay yeah there's too much base and I can't really hear lonus talking about whatever he's talking about but there is a button on top and also in the app called the TV sound booster so let's push that and see what that does to the voice and the rest of it Mega base is off at the moment it's still really Bassy sitting down here oh that is so much worse what the hell happened High the like the top they're doing nothing oh I get it I know I yeah okay that's actually kind of cool you know what it's for yeah it's supposed to support your existing speakers so it gives a little bit of tiny little siblings and then a lot of subbase it's kind of acting like a subwoofer and maybe a center channel simultaneously yeah that was so confusing oh my God TV sound booster makes everything sound like sure doesn't need ludicrous speed or whatever I mean at the end of the day how much fun can it be still going to have four wheels is it I don't think I've ever seen a speaker come as something for support I think all Bluetooth speakers should do that that's really neat actually I think I like it a little more although thinking about it for its use case as a party speaker why would you use it to support your speakers in your home when it's Giant and you're going to use it as a party like I don't see this fitting into a living room very well that doesn't doesn't make sense anymore I mean it's a cool feature to include and obviously they've added the optical in they've spent the time to design a circuit for it CU I can hear a little relay in there click when I push the button but I don't know you draw your own conclusions it's confusing to me I guess who is this for right if your particular proclivity is playing wonder wall to your friends badly cuz they can't leave your house then maybe this is for you you know it's got the guitar in it's got the vocal in maybe this maybe you want that um I could also see it possibly be good for weddings you know throw it in a tent outside last for 24 hours all that sort of thing one of the problems is it's $900 which is a hefty price to pay but I do think you get a lot of speaker for that um similar floor monitors that you would need extra stuff for and are also not portable or battery powered uh there's like the macki srm450 which for about 500 bucks will give you a 1,000 watts of output power and that's also deafening but this is damn loud and I think the sound quality is acceptable this is kind of one you have to make your own conclusions for it's very very not for everybody but unfortunately it's kind of okay at being not for everybody uh don't forget to like And subscribe to ShortCircuit did you hear it from upstairs we very much heard it from that was that was full volume I was standing next to it yeah"}
