Great speaker!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds clean, but i do have to say, it does take a while for the speakers to wear in and give that bass.

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:

Love our upgrade
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Upgraded from a jbl charge 4 which was good sound to us to begin with.. but this sony is just way better. Go for it if you can! Mess with the EQ, find your sound. Great bass for a portable wireless speaker.

Sony SRS-500
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.While an amazing speaker and sounds deep and clear after just a few days of use at 80-90% volume level it seems my left sub woofer on the side is making a clicking/crackling noise. Mostly on :What about us," by PINK. The fact it is marketed as a really great bass speaker this shouldn't have occurred. Apparently now I need to replace it. I enjoy this thing as it is like I said a really good deep and clear sound that comes out of it but the build quality left me with a bad impression. Sad I never had a issue before with a audio product from Sony.

Sony XG 500
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony XG 500 is an ok Bluetooth speaker. The sound quality on low volume is not as good as when listening on higher volumes. The sound quality can be adjusted using the equalizer on Sony’s app which is a plus when listening on lower volumes. It has excellent battery like. It is a better value when purchased on sale.
I would recommend this to a friendSony Portable Bluetooth Speaker Model:SRSXG500
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would like to give it a 4.5 overall rating. I tested it against several other similar models that was available in store and this one seemed to have better sound clarity and the bass is not muddled, like you hear with some of the others. The extra bass boost gives it a little more punch, which I didn't think was necessary...…but the kids love it!

Nice speaker for indoors on a good budget
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great Speaker it sounds real amplified indoors and real clear out doors although I don’t recommend for river trips it’s not real overall loud and really requires to be on something flat there’s a plate that emits sound on the bottoms to amplify it’s overall crisp notes
