    Excellent sound. I was shocked by the clarity. If you like a good quality sound with bass. This is it. I brought another one to pair the sound is incredible.

    Sound is Awesome. Gave it 3 Stars because unable to Party Connect with Other Sony Speakers (XV900's) via Laptop. Can only be done with Mobile App. When you disconnect from the Mobile the Party Connect is no longer connected, and the PC version of Sony Music Center doesn't allow. This was confirmed with Sony Customer Service.

    It sounded good with a nice clarity one thing I noticed is if you plug it to the wall it will give you more sound, once is unplug it from wall and using the rechargable battery the sound is like 25% less lous thats why I give 4 stars

      Hi Hunter, Amazing! We're thrilled to hear you like the sound clarity of your new Sony SRSXP500. Please note: The volume will become low when the maximum sound volume for playing music depends on whether the speaker is running on power from the connected AC outlet or from the rechargeable built-in battery. This, however, does not indicate a malfunction. The XP500 combines superb sound with plenty of party features to make it a fun and versatile speaker.

    Works great for music and shows. Does do stereo in both vertical and horizontal. Supports UpTo 2 microphones. It does do aux in as well. Do know though that aux as a source and using a mic does cause interference and for it to pick up radio station. Happened once and it was odd. On another note if the aux in is not the same device that is connected by Bluetooth, almost anything you do on the BT device will take over audio from the aux device. Set it to vibrate or silent to stop this. Back to good stuff, batter last pretty good. No discernable distortion even at high volume, at least songs I listen to anyway.
