    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.

    I had many friends and family members ask me what i pay for my Sony speaker and my response was it's not what you pay its what kind of sound comes out of it. They said i was crazy too pay that much. I began to pay the music on my sony speaker and they were so blown by the sound and the lights on the side. THANK YOU and yeah i would purchase another one like it.

    Overall this is the best portable speaker i have ever owned. Always listen to it on mega base mode though. The quality of sound that comes from the speaker is A+. I can finally listen and understand all the words of all my songs with this Sony portable Bluetooth speaker. The speaker is much bigger than shown in speakers. This speaker will not fit in a backpack. But this speaker can boom.
