EXTRA BASS brings the low-end power for rumbling EDM basslines, with lighting effects for a festival atmosphere.

Set it up horizontally for a classic boombox feel or flip it upright if you’re short on space. A built-in sensor optimises how sound is processed to stereo sound, whichever setup you choose.

Review: ALL QUESTIONS ANSWERED. Perfect speaker within the £100-£200 price bracket. - I have recently purchased the GTKXB5B, I will try answer all the questions I had before buying the product to make the decision easier for you: Q: Is it loud enough for a party? pre drinks? to have the neighbours call the police? A: Yes to all of those 3, at 45% volume you can hear the bass through the walls of your house. I'd say 20% volume is normal comfortable listening. at 60% volume my neighbour texted me asking if I had a new speaker and I live in a fully detached house. You would not be able to hold a conversation at all in a room with this speaker at max volume. It is mad. Q: Is the price difference between the GTK 5 and GTK 7 worth it? A: Although I do not own a GTK 7, I can honestly say that the GTK 7 would be overkill in terms volume level as max volume on the GTK 5 is already too much to continually listen to. Obviously if money is no object for you, buy the more expensive speaker because then you're not left wondering 'what if?', but it is not necessary. Q: How does the speaker compare to smaller portable Bluetooth speakers? (Such as the UE Megaboom/Bose soundlink) A: Much much louder, the sound is clearer and can fill a room more easily. The sound also doesn't distort at high volumes, which commonly happens with portable speakers. Q: Can I produce off this speaker? A: Yes, although it is harder to pick out certain instruments as the bass is alot heavier and the sounds aren't as equally balanced as they would be off something like KRK Rokits or Yamaha's. But obviously these speakers aren't tailored for production purposes so they do well considering. Q: What comes in the box? A: A power cable, some manuals and the speaker. There is no aux cord which honestly would have been a nice touch, but whilst connected to the speaker through aux the sound is clearly not as good as it is on Bluetooth so maybe Sony where just trying to offer the best listening experience first? I've seen people moan about the lack of remote, but i'm not really buying into this complaint because you control the music off your phone so its not really needed at all. Q: Is it big? does it look impressive? A: It is alot bigger than pictures and videos on YouTube make it out to be. Just because the GTK 7 Dwarfs the 5 doesn't make it a small speaker, the 7 is just crazy big. Standing upright, it is taller than knee height and Im 6"2 with fairly long legs so it is a big unit. The lights and the general aesthetic of the unit is very pleasing and it is a big talking point if you place it anywhere in a room Q: Does it sound good on all music genres? A: Yes, I have tested every genre and, although it does sound best on Electronic music such as bassline and DnB, all other genres carry their weight nicely on this speaker. R&B and Hip-Hop sound especially good on this unit. Please click helpful so this review is pushed up further.
Review: A Monster of a Speaker. Excellent....... - Just absolutely wow. Bought this speaker to hopefully lesson the noise from my other systems in the house. Neighbour complaints all the time. And 1st nite I had this i had complaints. But wow what a speaker my house literally vibrates. Download the music centre app to tweak things, very easy to set up. NFC to phone and add as trusted device, happy days. The app can do lighting and sound, power off but not turn it on. No biggie, as the sound this produces is something else, you simply would not believe it would come out of this little ish box. Super impressed. Gonna be getting another 3 as they all link to each other using one as a main control centre. The lights I have left on rave, as it suits all my milusic genres. Played pink floyd as someone mentioned on here. And lights were great so not sure, or if you have a different setting in illumination. But what a buy I have wasted so much money on 60 little ones, and this was out there all the time. As was trying to buy the old skool jvc ghetto blaster, but to no avail. But this has super pleased. High end depends on what source you're music is coming from and again, this can be altered through settings in the app. But the low end is just incredible it engulfs you, as always want to feel the bass. A super quality product from Sony. 3 more to buy.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I connect two speakers on my phone at the same time?**
A: Can I connect two speakers on my phone at the same time?

Hi Nico Brookes,

You can connect a wired party chain system to your speaker so they can play together, or you can use the speaker add function with another GTK-XB5, so you can play from both speakers while connected to your phone in (stereo mode) and you can find more information in the manual link here from pages 18-22: http://bit.do/fPqzF (copy and paste the link into your web browser).

Sony support team

**Q: Does it play CDs?**
A: No it's a Bluetooth speaker only. No radio either. To play any music just connect any Bluetooth device to it. Sound is amazing we'll worth buying

**Q: Is it good to use it for strret singing... With 2 microphones attached to it?**
A: Hi Honey,

This speaker doesn't support Microphone input. You'll find the full specifications here: http://bit.do/faRKM (copy and paste the link into your web browser).

**Q: Can you play spotify from i phone via bluetooth direct to this speaker? thanks**
A: Hi Herts,

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Crystal clear sound
*by B***R on 7 July 2020*

I purchased this speaker over a year ago and have now decided to put up a review. Sony have recently upgraded to a newer model but I have to say this speaker is phenomenal. It is easy to use and the sound quality is perfect. I'm not one of them people that will dribble about deep lows and all that nonsense, if you want that then talk to the nerds in the retail shop. You get a huge amount of bang for your buck with this, as I was originally in the market for a soundbar for my TV. Granted a soundbar is sleeker and inconspicuous but for half the price you get a speaker that can literally rumble the flat you live in as well as perforate your eardrums, if that's what your in to. Sony is known for its build quality and professionalism and it shows here. I would recommend hands down. Added bonus of lighting around the speaker. Nice touch 👌
