Craziest Bluetooth speaker I've ever owned
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker sounds amazing! While it definitely takes up more space than your typical portable speaker, the features and sound more than make up for it. The carry handle is nice, as the speaker is too thick to just grab with one hand. 30 hours of battery is incredible, assuming you're not blasting it at full volume. The 1/4" mic/guitar input is a handy feature for musicians, though I do not see myself using it personally. The app and adjustable features are nice, including a simple EQ. Though the factory settings and Mega Bass button pump out plenty of sound. This speaker gets LOUD, and can easily entertain a large party outdoors, cookout, etc. It's definitely not a "throw in your bag" type of speaker, but for around the house, or get togethers, it is perfect. Definitely recommend!

Average at best
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve always known sony as a very reputable and quality brand, unfortunately this tarnishes my perception of them. Overall the speaker was average to below average at best, I was obviously mislead by the plethora of great reviews online. The music seemed muffled and I was not impressed by how loud it got. Not much bass either. For $400 there are much better options. I exchanged this speaker for the JBL Partybox 120, which is the same price and only slightly larger. To sum it up, it just isn’t a very good speaker, but who knows, maybe I got a lemon.

Posted .Hi Nessa,
We're sorry if you find the speaker doesn't get very loud and it hasn't performed to your standards. We want to make sure you are getting the most out of your speaker. By downloading the Sony Music Center app, you will find all sorts of tools to fine-tune the speaker using the built-in EQ and maximize the volume to ensure optimal listening experience. To get the most out of the volume, turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device. You may also find different devices will perform better than others, as will different apps due to different types of audio compression and transmission.
• While the speaker is running on power from the rechargeable built-in battery, the sound may become low in the event that the rechargeable built-in battery is running out of power and the CHARGE indicator flashes slowly. This, however, does not indicate a malfunction.
• If the sound becomes low while in use, follow the procedure on this help guide link:  https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xg500/v1/en/contents/TP1000243111.html
Should you need further assistance regarding your concern, you can email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:
