Great Portable Speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I do not use this speaker as a "party speaker" and it is never in the rain. I do have it plugged into my computer in a large classroom and it delivers excellent sound. The blue tooth function is also great - I can play anything from my phone. We do plan on using it for a large outdoor gathering (400 people) for announcements and mood music, and it will meet our needs.

||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker gets loud and brings strong bass, which makes it great for gatherings and outdoor use. Bluetooth pairing is easy and it feels durable enough to move around without worry. I liked the “party” feel—music sounds big and energetic. The downside is that it’s large, so it’s not something you casually carry everywhere.

Sony has always brought quality products and in the music industry has a good name. Not heavy and made of good materials that will resist some humidity and impacts, sound quality is the best of similar products I had the opportunity to compare.

Outdoor speaker with plenty of power and clarity.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome speaker for outdoor gatherings that delivers a bass punch without distortion. It also delivers clear fidelity of treble, high notes and vocals on lower volume without having to crank it up. It is versatile for party jams, or laid back listening. A true speaker, it way better than a run-of-the-mill Bluetooth cracker-box.

All Encompassing, Clear Sound
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My speakers have been amazing. What initially was intended as a temporary solution to our professional level speakers not working, have become preferred tools for presenting, partying, and general listening. They offer clarity of sound in smaller spaces, and dynamic sound that fills very large ones. That they pair together and allow multiple devices to be connected make them that much better.

Posted .Hi JamieH,
Thanks for sharing this honest review. We're happy to hear that you like the incredible audio and water resistant feature of the speaker. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated. 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. Also, while the speaker is running on power from the rechargeable built-in battery, the sound may become low in the event that the rechargeable built-in battery is running out of power and the CHARGE indicator flashes slowly. This, however, does not indicate a malfunction.
If the sound becomes low while in use, follow the procedure below.
1. Turn off the speaker.
2. Charge the built-in battery sufficiently
The XP500 is a speaker that's built to help fun-loving people make the most of their life. Whether you're relaxing in your living room or partying in your garden, the XP500 will give you a superb sound and plenty of fun features. All you have to do is choose the music. Thank you for sharing your feedback and for choosing Sony! -Jess
