Q: Is anybody else having a problem with their speaker? This speaker was working fine for me til just recently. It will not connect anymore to any device to stream music nor connect thru the google home app. I have tried troubleshooting and still no luck.

A: My Bluetooth drops all the time. It makes it very difficult to use in a continuous stream.

Q: How many watts of output power?

A: Hi, Jose2012! Satellite (25W+25W), Sub Woofer (40W). ~Ralph

Q: My power button keeps blinking then it flashes green in the front and then shuts off and starts over... Like I can't turn it off or turn it on it keeps doing the same thing.... Thought it was the charging cord so I bought a new one... Wat can I do

A: Same problem here. It was bricked by Sony update to 176 is my guess. AND SONY IS NO HELP WITH THIS. Step up sony?????

A: undefined

Q: Why can't my Sony srs-b501G connect to Bluetooth,the Bluetooth pairing light will not turn on

A: Make sure the speaker is connected to your wifi with the google home app and is visible on your phone in the app. You can control the speaker with the app and play all your music over wifi.

Sony xb501
I've owned a sony xb40 and compare to the xb501, the xb501 is way... Punchier and loud , no distortion, great sound. I dont really use the google assistant in my opinion I dont like the idea to link up with wi fi when first time using it, i just wish it was more practical like the other xb40.. but... I recommend it if looking for a punchy bass and loud speaker. I have not yet tried to pair it with the other xb speakers. If anyone have tried and it.works.let me know thanks.

FUNtastic Party 'Club'/BT/Google/Smart Speaker
This Sony XB501G Extra Bass Goggle Assistant Bluetooth Speaker transforms me into a Party-DJ Animal. With speaker lights and flashing strobes I can sync the music beat and rhythm to whatever genre of music I so choose. It has a full-bodied, beefy bass, especially when the 'Extra Bass' (Party Booster) is activated through the Sony Music Center App. Through the Sony App I can customize various, multi-dimensional sound and lighting effects, which creates a personal 'club atmosphere' in my very own home. The Grand Kids thoroughly enjoy it. WooHoo! After two music-filled weeks of enjoying, using, and 'learning' this speaker I find it is capable of handling indoor and, or, outdoor spaces equally well with dynamic acoustics and FUNtastic lighting effects. It is designed to be positioned at 'ear-level' for optimum sound enjoyment. That is why the Sony Engineers installed a tripod mounting hole on the base of this speaker. WoW! Here is what I love about this speaker: * Sound - The sound reproduction of the Sony XB501G focuses on the mid-ranges, and is spirited at higher tones, and crisp at clear voice, especially when the speaker's 'Live Sound' button is 'ON. It has a full-bodied, rich bass through the Sony Music Center App Preset, 'Extra Bass'. The extra bass feature brings it alive with depth and adds a deep punch to your music. The two channel stereo separation is also very evident thanks to the Sony Engineers designing an angle-mount of the two satellite speakers. The angled, speaker sound covers a much wider area, which amplifies the channel separation and treats your ears to robust, multi-dimensional, listening pleasure. YooHoo! * Smart Phone Control of Sound/Lights– I can customize and control my sound and party lighting from my smartphone using the downloaded, Sony Music Center App from the App Store (or Google Play Store). In the 'Sound' mode I can use choose any one of these Presets, Extra Bass, Live Sound or Standard. Or, for more rich sound and depth I can customize my EQ settings to my own personal listening enjoyment (See Attached Photo). My Grand Kids love to play with these settings for the Lights; Rave, Chill, Hot, Cool, Strobe, and, or Random Flash Off. The lights definitely add a 'party-atmosphere' other speakers are not capable of. * Google Assistant - Built-in Google Assistant awaits your commands and controls all of your homes smart devices if you so wish. Personally, I am not a big fan of this added feature. However, it does allow syncing of multiple speakers that are Chromecast enabled. Of course, my Grand Kids think this feature is so cool. They can request a particular song, turn the volume up or down, all totally 'hands-free'. I can access Wi-Fi music services through my Google Assistant or BT through my smart phone. How versatile is that? * Long Battery Life - Up to 16 hours of battery life (Without the Lights). Additionally, I can still play this speaker while it is plugged in to an A/C outlet. I prefer to plug it in since the Grand Kids want the lights on constantly because it syncs to their music. And, after all what is a 'party-speaker' without the entertaining multi-colored lights and flashing strobe? On battery power alone with the lights constantly on I estimate about 6 hours of use before this speaker needs charging. * IP65 Rated - Splash-resistant and dustproof too. If caught in the rain – no problem. However, this speaker is not waterproof. It cannot be submerged under water. * Charging – I can use the proprietary, Sony A/C charger (Included) or the USB-C port for charging. However, I found the A/C charger is much faster. I can also use the USB-C port to charge my smart phone. Nice! * Portable & Ruggedly Built – The Sony XB501G Speaker is extremely portable (Weighs Approximately 7 pounds. It has an easy-carrying handle for a firm grip when moving it around. I highly recommend the purchase of this Sony Sony XB501G especially if you like outstanding sound and rich, extra bass, multitude of functions, never ending colorful light displays synced to the music. And, just because my Grand Kids love it so much. The 'Extra Bass' feature blows me away. This speaker is pricey, but well worth the cost.
