Sony gets it right!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker is blue toothed to my 75-inch Sony TV and it was a definite good move. The sound is crisp and the bass is on point, the app (Sony music center) works excellent in controlling the speaker settings. I strongly recommend this product.

Excellent Speaker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an outstanding speaker with excellent sound. Also like the fact that it can be operated on AC power or several hours on full charge when going portable. A nice surprise is that during use, there is a verbal alert to charge soon instead of just shutting down without warning. I have not tested the Bluetooth range limit.

Really like this Sony SP500 speaker.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker sounds awesome and it has a good clear bass. We listened to the JBL speakers and they both had a tinny sound to them. Get this Sony XP500 instead. It has a button you can press for more bass which I like to use. It can connect to other sound devices also but I believe that the JBL's can do that also.

Nice sound and features!
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.NIce sound and great for Karaoke. It's on the expensive side for me but It was not as expensive as other alternative in its range. It has 2 xlr inputs for Mics which is great and it's splash proof which makes it great to take on the road. Also if you have the budget you can buy a pair or more to link them and expand music throughout your home or party.

MEGA BLAST!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Speaker is SUPER LOUD!. Just what I wanted. I haven’t took it anywhere that I need to unplug it so cant test the battery life but overall its a great speaker. The guy at best buy said it cant connect to a Tv he didn’t know what he was talking about. Any smart tv with Bluetooth can connect to this speaker just go to the settings and pair it like you would a phone.

Amazing Bass!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the fact that the battery holds a long charge. It has two microphones jacks and the bass is outstanding. The only reason I took a star off is it isn’t that loud. The louder it is the less you hear the bass. But this will def get the house party going if you need something portable! I would still recommend it to someone.

Posted .Hi iHome,
Thank you for your time writing this review. Glad to hear you love the long battery life, microphone jacks, and outstanding bass of your Sony XP500 speaker. We're sorry to hear if the sound volume is not too loud for you and that it compromise the bass when it gets louder. 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 turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device. For reference: https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xp500/v1/en/contents/TP1000543551.html?search=low%20sound

Fits my needs perfectly!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the sound quality. I love how the speaker is made. I love the Party Connect but there are glitches that work out once the updates are complete. I do not like the fact that it loses power when unplugged. I would like for the app to be able to power the speaker on. It already powers it off. All in all, I am a lifelong Sony fan and will continue to purchase and enjoy their products! It would have been 5* if it didn't lose power when unplugged. I would recommend this speaker 100%.

Posted .Hi Kodiak, Awesome! We're glad you love the excellent sound quality and Party Connect feature of your new Sony SRSXP500. We're sorry to hear about the power-related issue you're having. This is usually not the case for our SRSXP500 nor the experience we want you to have. The speaker is capable of running on power either from an AC outlet connected by the supplied AC power cord (mains lead) or from the rechargeable built-in lithium-ion battery. When using the speaker on battery, be sure to fully charge the built-in battery. If the built-in battery is fully charged when you connect the speaker to an AC outlet, the CHARGE indicator lights up in orange then turns off after about 1 minute.
*Charging will complete in about 3 hours* and the indicator will turn off.
If the speaker turns off right after you unplugged the supplied AC power cord (mains lead) even after you sufficiently charge the unit, service may be required. For further assistance, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:
