Great speaker
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker is amazing! 4/5 stars only because the Bluetooth glitches every now and then even when the phone is right next to it. Other than that the sound quality is great and the lights are really fun!

Good
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good. It’s great for the pool, even the beach. It isn’t going to replace dedicated speakers with woofers in your home, the volume just isn’t there. But it provides significantly more bass and volume that the typical, smaller, sizes…. And overall better sound. We use it regularly.

All Good until but...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It sounds well, Love the party mode could really hookup with previous models making it a real hit. Only thing I was surprised about was when it meant Bluetooth speaker i thought i was going to be able to talk over incoming calls with it like the other models in Sony Speakers guess not. Other than that all overall is great just mentioning in case you expect to make calls other than that i do not regret the purchase.

SRS-XG500 play it again Sam
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit was quite a surprise when I decided to purchase Sony's SRS-XG500. This was my second choice to the JBL top rated unit and the Sony unit offered more flexibility of App control and additional inputs on for source connections in my opinion. I took this unit on vacation and when I first played this indoors at louder volumes music was really good with slight muffle, still really good sound. I took this unit to the beach and the presentation was a big and fabulous sound at loud volumes.....a real party animal. And when you want to relax, the SRS-XG500 plays wonderful at low volume.
