Good speaker
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great speaker! I bought it for outside gatherings and I tried it for my sons baseball tournaments. It’s loud but not as loud as I was wanting. Bass is decent. Reviews said it was louder than the JBL boombox. I used it for a weekend and returned it. I ended up buying the JBL PartyBox 310 and this thing fullfuls every expectation. This is a good speaker though.

Sound Quality Is Great!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This portable speaker has great sound quality. Transitioning from a UE mega boom, it served it’s purpose until unfortunately it stopped working. At that point, I was looking for something that will produce better sound quality and hold a charge for for an extend period of time.

Rockin’ (not so little) Speaker
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very pleased with this purchase! It is a little on the pricey side but I think it was worth the extra pennies! Great bass when you want it and overall excellent sound! I wish you could connect it to the srs-xb43 but it won’t allow it. You can connect it to other speakers of the same type though.

Posted .Hi XXSDRZ,
Thank you so much for the 5-stars review and for sharing your awesome experience with our XG500 speaker. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated. 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. You can also deactivate the Ambient Noise Sensing function, as this cuts out the bass sound that are disturbed by the ambient noise to reduce power consumption by the speaker and preserve the battery power. If the Sound becomes low while in use, refer to this helpful link:
