||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is Awesome. Gave it 3 Stars because unable to Party Connect with Other Sony Speakers (XV900's) via Laptop. Can only be done with Mobile App. When you disconnect from the Mobile the Party Connect is no longer connected, and the PC version of Sony Music Center doesn't allow. This was confirmed with Sony Customer Service.

I would recommend this to a friend needs higher Volume
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the speaker is great for the backyard - the only complaint is the volume. When you plug it in its pretty loud but running on the battery if is definitely a lot lower. It works well with Bluetooth, but I have another speaker, different SONY model speaker that I can't connect it too. I like the speaker lot but if you are trying to connect to other speakers, make sure it is compatible

Posted .Hi StevieB, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your SRSXP500! 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.

Clear sound Loud good alternative to the JBL 310
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was gonna get the 310 but it was sold out. I grabbed this one instead cause I have always been a Sony guy. When I first listened to it I was kinda like meh. I like hip hop and this doesn’t have rumbling low base but it does have good punch base. I was considering returning it till one day I let my spouse put her music on one day. She listens to 80s soft rock. She started playing Journey and the sounds of the instruments and vocals were so clear and crisp that I was stunned. That moment won it over for me. This is a house speaker that can be taken places. I move it all over the house back yard while doing house work it moves all around with me and keeps my phone charged too. The lights are nice not too flashy nice and smooth. Also this thing plays low volume very well. I feel like you can put it on a low volume walk away and still here it really good. Also the speaker on the back works really well.
