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.

    Long battery life, great bass with clear mids and highs. The equalizer feature available on the Sony sound app allows for a much more specific experience depending on what you want and where you are. Great Bluetooth range and the option to input guitar and mic inputs makes it excellent for karaoke or an impromptu jam. Very satisfied with my purchase. Also this thing is loud so be wary of indoor use, especially if you live in an apartment.

    It thumps, bumps, and looks great. We have used this for parties, while cruising on our boat, and even just for listening in the house. At low volumes, it is clear and full. At higher volumes, music holds together well and remains balanced. Some reviews complain about battery, but I’ve not experienced any issues. We used ours for 6 hours sitting outside while having a bonfire, took it out the next day for 3-4 hours on our boat, and still had about 30% charge.
