Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the XP500's impressive sound quality, deep bass, and long battery life as key strengths. Its portability and loud volume are also frequently praised, making it ideal for parties and outdoor use. While some find it a bit heavy, the water resistance and attractive design are generally well-received. A few users mentioned that the price point could be improved and the app requires some enhancements.

      Hi DonaldB, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your SRS-XP500. We're glad you like overall sound quality of your new Sony Bluetooth speaker. Please note: 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. To play music louder, connect the speaker to an AC outlet. And to ensure optimal listening experience, please download the Sony Music Center app. There you will find all sorts of tools like an equalizer to fine-tune your speaker and maximize the volume to your liking. Hope this helps!

      The XP500 combines superb sound with plenty of party features to make it a fun and versatile speaker. With Powerful Party Sound by the X-Balanced Speaker Unit and the front high-efficiency tweeter, it sends out rich, clear, and high-quality sound. It is perfect for parties, inside or outside the home, has plenty of battery life, is IPX4 Water-resistant, and has an easy-to-use handle for moving from one party to the next. Thank you for choosing SONY. -Sam Sony_US

    Sounds great when power is plugged in, how ever as a standalone wireless Bluetooth speaker it definitely lacks the boom. Rather disappointing
