      Hi Speaker, Excellent! Good to know you're enjoying the bass quality and long-lasting battery life of your new Sony speaker. Your new SRS-XG500 is perfect for taking a powerful sound outside. The combination of the X-Balanced Speaker Unit, High-efficiency Tweeter, and passive radiators deliver a crisp and clear sound whether you’re listening in an indoor space or outside. Plus, with a durable exterior, an IP66 Water-resistant and Dustproof rating (Dustproof and Water-resistant are effective only when the cap is closed), up to 30-hour battery life, and an easy-to-hold handle, you can take it almost wherever you want to go. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US

    My wofe hinted that she wanted a bigger bluetooth speaker. She cuttently has a small JBL and we are convinced it it posessed, it tandomly turns itself on and off. It has intermittant connection issues. This sony has been flawless and has really good sound. My wife is very pleased with it.

    When I first turned it on it didn’t sound good at all but don’t let that scare you. You have to download the app and go into the sound settings and set it up to your type of music. I took this to the lake and used it on my friend’s pontoon boat and everyone loved it! The longest battery life for a portable speaker I have ever seen (30 hours) you can charge your phone and plug in a microphone or guitar!!

    I have got this and returned it after two weeks use. Its build quality is good and, you know, Sony is the one of the best speaker making company. However, I expected this item was a bit bigger and emitted more dense sound. I have three GTK-XB60 and enjoyed party change or stereo. This much newer version of portable speaker is less attractive to me regarding sounds and design. Backside of the item is made of silicone so that It collects your fingerprint easily (would be a good function if you are working at CIA or FBI). Its sound is loud and woofer is strong; but Its treble is somewhat week. Furthermore, regarding its price, there are way much options you can go with.

      Hi Kson, Thank you for taking the time to review the XG500 X-Series Portable Wireless Speaker.
      The XG500 is designed to work around your life. So, whether you want to connect wirelessly or plug in, the choice is entirely up to you. The SRS-XG500 is perfect for taking a powerful sound outside. The combination of the X-Balanced Speaker Unit, High-efficiency Tweeter and passive radiators deliver a crisp and clear sound whether you’re listening in an indoor space or outside. The technology in the XG500 works in harmony for a better sound quality. The X-Balanced Speaker Unit gives deep, punchy bass and vocal clarity even with loud sound. A High-efficiency Tweeter provides crisp and spacious sound for high-frequencies. Passive radiators optimize to reproduce clear bass sound. Thanks for sharing your feedback! Jay Sony_US
