Excellent choice
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Probably one of the best Bluetooth speakers I have had. The battery last about 9hrs and the quality of sound is excellent. The best part, you can connect more of them into the same app and make your own high quality surround system.

First time party speaker purchase
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My personal experience with this Sony party speaker is divided. The sound quality is very nice and the mega bass is really good, but the issue is it has to be plugged in to the outlet for max sound. If you unplug it the power of sound suffers. Still,bang for buck sounds great.

Great sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounds wonderful, nice bass and highs. Decent volume but critics may be correct on lack of punch when not plugged in, but still good enough for a modest social gathering outside. Guitar and mic inputs are awesome though I am still trying to figure out if the amp guitar button works. When my guitar is plugged in without the guitar button on, I get sound, when I turn on the guitar button (white light comes on) I get no sound.

This Speaker Is Great!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm extremely happy with my purchase. I bought this speaker to use for a small wedding ceremony, as sound reinforcement for the officiant. The ceremony was held in a pasture on the side of a mountain here in Hawaii, with no way to get power to the site. Using some ingenuity, a Jackery power supply also purchased from Best Buy, some lavalier microphones, and a mixer, the Sony XP500 performed wonderfully. The sound was clear and clean, and people asked more about the speaker than they did about the ceremony! Great purchase, worth every penny!

Sony MEGA BASS job site speaker
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My purchase for a battery operated Bluetooth speaker started out at a $39 “MEGA BASS” no name unit. I am old enough to know that you get what you pay for, yet I fell for the “MEGA BASS” lettering on the box. All I got was “MEGA “ disappointment. So while returning the first purchase, checking reviews I purchased Sony 434. ( I believe that’s the correct name) when I picked it up it was so heavy I thought this was what I needed. ( This also had the Mega bass) while being a hundred times better than the first purchase. It was not what I needed in a speaker. So before returning that one I went back to the reviews. Finding Sonys 500 WITH MEGA BASS. This was the sound I was looking for. The bass kicks and for the price the sound quality is very good. Hard to believe you can run this off a battery. I still use the mini Jack also which I wanted. A lot of the newer models don’t have anymore. (I am the last person still using mini jack) I highly recommend this speaker I use it on the job site. I kept the box and cut out openings for the front, top, and rear for protection. I Love this speaker. Great job Sony.
