The lights can be disabled by holding down the W.Party Chain button for a few seconds. It's an impressive display, but it has some quirks: If the speaker is plugged into a power strip, for instance, the lights will flash every time the strip is powered up. The lights are bright, and flash in several colors, sometimes with the beat of the music, sometimes at random. Often, I found them jarring, so perhaps this is correct. Sony claims the LED lights bring an "EDM festival atmosphere" to your room. There's also a quarter-inch mic jack and mic level knob in case you wish to use the speaker for karaoke. In terms of connectivity, the back panel houses RCA inputs and outputs, as well as a USB port for charging or playing MP3 or WAV files from a USB device.

There's a little bit of button bloat here, which most Bluetooth speakers avoid by using an app to pair and chain speakers together. The back panel also houses a Party Chain button that works in conjunction with the other Party Chain button if your speaker is the "host" speaker. All of the buttons flank a built-in handle for carrying the speaker from room to room. There's also an NFC pairing field on this panel. Then, there are the less obvious buttons: Stamina (for saving battery life), Function (for switching between Bluetooth, USB, or RCA inputs), Add (for pairing multiple GTK-XB60 speakers), and W.Party Chain (for setting multiple GTK-XB60 or XB90 speakers to play from the same source simultaneously). The control panel houses a power button, a play/pause button (which doubles as the call management and track navigation button), plus/minus buttons for volume, and an extra bass button.

The speakers are ported (the port is located on the rear panel) for more efficient driver movement. The speaker can stand upright or on its side, with a control panel on the top (when its upright).īeneath the huge front panel speaker grille, the GTK-XB60 packs dual 2-inch tweeters and dual 5.2-inch woofers, for a combined 30 watts of power (15 watts per channel). If there's a design turnoff here for some, it's probably the blue or black plastic contour-it looks like the plastic on a large cooler. So while it might be battery-powered, it truly pushes the definition of portable, and it isn't rugged or waterproof if you want to use it for an outdoor party. It measures 21.8 by 10.4 by 10.7 inches (HWD) and weighs 17.7 pounds. When we say the GTK-XB60 is big, we're not joking. Audio purists seeking an accurate sound signature shouldn't bother with this big bass behemoth, but if you're looking for a large speaker with extra bass depth to pump up electronic, hip-hop, pop, and rock tracks, the GTK-XB60 won't disappoint.

Case in point: the $249.99 Sony GTK-XB60, an imposing structure with built-in LED lights that almost looks more like a gaming PC than a speaker.

There’s even an extra DJ-app that controls the lighting.We test our fair share of small, portable Bluetooth speakers, but that doesn't mean speakers need to be small in order to be portable. However, all these features packs the top of the device with buttons and makes the app difficult to navigate. There are also audio settings for different music styles as well as an extra bass amplifier. The speakers can be connected, either in a stereo pair or in party mode with up to 10 compatible models. If you wish to be a DJ, you can hook up a microphone and shout to the guests. The most obvious are the disco lights, which pulses and flashes to the music, and can be set by music style.

There are far too many choices and settings in the app.Īs usual, Sony’s devices are full of features. They work well if all you’re doing is move the speaker, but not if you plan on carrying it around for a while. However, the carrying handles are not all that comfortable. But at full volume with extra bass and lamps, it only lasts for three hours! This is somewhat comparable to the others in the test. This has been fixed in the Sony GTK XB60, which lasts up to 14 hours at reasonable levels and with the lighting effects turned off. Like the travel friendly Sony SRS-XB30 and last year’s party speaker Sony GTK-XB5, which unfortunately lacked battery operation. We’ve previously tested Sony’s refined speakers with lighting effects in the ExtraBass-series.
