Outdoor speaker for pool area

Great sound profile, workhorse
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The main benefit is its sound, like it has beautiful profile. Also it gets plenty loud, and even louder while plugged in. The woofer exhaust is in the back so putting it up against a wall gets deeper sound. Used for a little under a year now, and it’s been quite heavy usage, but it hasn’t shown wearing. I know it doesn’t specify dust resistance, but I haven’t had issues despite using in pretty dirty places.

Amazing speaker!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Found the XP500 at a Best Buy outlet for $137.00. This speaker rocks once its paired with Sony's Music Center app or with Poweramp Equalizer app. I didn't really need the speaker but at the price I got it I just couldn't pass it up. Very loud but clean sound! I wish there was a carry strap or case with wheels to haul it around. I'll try and put it in a suitcase to haul it when I need to.

Buy it. You won’t regret it.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best speaker I’ve found by far. I’ve tried several different Bluetooth speakers including, Ultimate Ears MEGABOOM, Ultimate Ears HYPERBOOM, Bose Soundlink Revolve II, Sony SRS-XG500, Harmon Kardon Studio 7, and Studio 4, JBL Boombox, Samsung Sound Tower MX-T50, and more. The Sony SRS-XP500 tops them all with over sound quality and boom of the bass, which was my criteria when hunting for the perfect Bluetooth speaker. I’m happy to say I finally found the best match. Though I didn’t try out the SRS-XP700, I can imagine that could be slightly better, but for the price range I wanted to stay in, the XP500 fits. Highly recommend!
