Superb Sound & Quality Product
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely love this speaker. We’ve used it for outdoor movies, backyard gatherings and camping. The quality of sound is superb and the base is base’n. Only thing I wish they offered was a travel case. Also works with all types of mics should you want to use it as a PA.

Im obsessed with the speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall the speaker is great. I take it everywhere, literally. I use it for my backyard or volleyball sessions mostly. The lights are so cool synching with the music and the sound is amazing. Only problem i have with it is that is does not have wheels since its a big speaker. It is not heavy but if youre walking a far distance then you eventually will get tired since its kinda big. I knew it would be big and I didnt care because i usually take a wagon cartto my sessions anyway so I would just throw it in there. Just a little advice if you plan on buying it, Don’t expect it to actually be super portable. It will take a little effort to take it to places but the hassle will be worth it.

I LOVE Sony but JBL takes this one hands down.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this Sony XP700 and was quite impressed with the sound. It’s smart looking and I’ve always been a Sony fan. I kept reading the reviews about the JBL PartyBox 310 and it had excellent ratings. Many people said it sounds much better than the Sony. On the 13th day, I brought the Sony back and swapped it with the JBL. That was an EXCELLENT decision. The JBL pretty much blew Sony away in every way possible. The JBL sounds better, has wheels and a pop-up handle for easy maneuverability, much better light show, (for whatever that’s worth) the sound quality of the Sony is VERY good. The sound quality of the JBL is EXCELLENT. The wheels and pop-up handle are a BIG advantage over the Sony. Overall, the JBL design is far better than the Sony. I have a Sony TV, Sony AV Receiver, Sony headphones and now, I have the JBL PartyBox 310 and I’m waiting for the JBL PartyBox 110 to be delivered tomorrow, for work. You can’t go wrong with Sony. I simply believe the JBL designer was on top of his game and edged out ALL competition. Good job JBL.

Super loud and so clear.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We have a multiple Sony Bluetooth speakers “some portable and some not” and I wanted one smaller than our MHC-V71 “this one’s huge and not very portable”, I saw the new SRS-XP500 and had to give it a try as its smaller “by a lot” and has a built in battery for portability. Unboxing and first thoughts: The speaker came in a heavy duty Sony logoed box and was cradled in a some heavy Styrofoam arriving with no damage what so ever. Inside the box is the speaker, power cord and guide, that it, no cords for any of the attachment port. After getting this speaker out of the box the first thing we thought is wow it’s pretty big, and for its size it’s impressively heavy and very solidly built, nothing flimsy or cheap feeling about this speaker. There are some rubber nubs on one side of the speaker so it can be used either vertically or horizontally. On top of the speaker there are buttons for On/Off, Bluetooth, Play/Pause, Volume +/-, and Mega Bass. The back of the speaker has a large rubber covered door and under it is where you attach the power cord and there are two ¼” inputs with their own level controls “very nice”, for guitars, instruments, microphone whatever you would want to amplify, a 3.5mm input “which I use an Amazon Dot”, two USB ports, one used for charging and the other for input and charging. Above that door are three rubber covered buttons for “Light” and can turn the lighting on/off, another for “Battery Care”, and that also helps condition your battery during each charge to help with longevity. And one final button for “Party Connect” where you can use to connect to other Party Connect enabled speakers and have them work in unison. Setting up: The included guide wanted it to be charged for 3 hours before using so we plugged it in and waited. After the speaker was fully charged I wanted to see just how easy it would be to pair our Bluetooth audio transmitter hooked up to our TV. I set the transmitter to pairing mode went over to the speaker, pressed down on the Bluetooth button on the top till I heard “ready to pair” and it immediately paired with the transmitter “that simple”. I also installed the Sony Music Center app from the Google Play store; the app found the speaker immediately and paired to it even though it was still pared to the TV, both operate simultaneously but there is a pause in the sound when you use the app to adjust settings or lighting “not really a problem though”. With the app you pretty much have complete control of the speaker and can set Sound Effects like Mega Bass, Live Sound and even create your own with the three channel EQ. There’s also a DJ Effect “didn’t mess with that”, Clear Audio + which Sony recommends for music listening. There’s also a Power Options section in the APP that allows you to set your battery consumption, monitor battery levels and set it to auto standby. You can even power down the speaker form the app “very handy”. The app also has a music library section, a button for launching the Fiestable App which has a party lighting mode, Amazon Music, Google Play Music, and Spotify so you can link a lot of music through the app directly. Use: I have to say we are very impressed with this new SRS-XP500, it’s the size I was looking for as I have a harder time hearing smaller speakers “hearing issues” and most of them just don’t move enough air for me to hear clearly. This one’s smaller than the V71 but the audio output and clarity is just as good, and for me it’s extremely clear, “which is rare for me when trying to listen to TV”. Although large I can move this close enough to where it’s not blocking our view and my wife was surprised that I could hear very clearly even when she thought the volume may be too low for me “fine for her though”. The light show is pretty neat and you can control it from the app and there’s a lot of different functions and setting just for that, the lighting effects work really well and keep up with music “it’s just not our thing” and will probably keep that disabled or on a single color. I’ve also been using our Dot with it and that combo work exceptionally well, “I already had 3.5mm audio cables for that”. Music can be very loud with a lot of BASS punch to it, “especially when activating Mega Bass” , but you can also tone it way down and tune it to your own personal preferences very easily. I’ve also loaded up a USB stick with some music and with the APP I can play our preferred music. Battery life has been exceptional and it’s rated for 20hrs of use, that’s about as much time as I get from some of my small portable speakers so this is pretty amazing “and probably where a good bit of weight comes from”. The nice thing is you can use the speaker while it’s plugged in charging, or just leave it plugged in and use the battery only when you need portability or a power outlet isn’t close or handy. I also like the fact that it has an IPX4 rating and can handle a few splashes so it would be easy to take it along to the beach or pool and not have to worry about it getting a little water on it. In all if you are looking for a very powerful portable speaker than can give great sound with lots of volume and deep clear bass “that also works for 20 hours away from an electrical outlet” this one would fit the bill.
