Awesome speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I watched a lot of review videos before buying this speaker. I decided to go with the sony brand for the party mode option I will be buying more speakers from them. I was unsure if i wanted the 500 or the 700. I was able to hear the 500 at the store and was impressed then there was a sale on the 700 so I got that. The 900 wasn’t water or dust resistant so I didn’t want that. I wasn’t really expecting it to be as big or as heavy as it is but that definitely helps put the sound out.

Disappointing showing from Sony
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery life is ok, but for the size and weight it feels like there is a car battery inside and it should last a few days. The sound is eh, at best. On low volumes in a small space it sounds pretty great, turn it up and the bass is flat, and the highs are overpowering. I’m disappointed with this purchase, as I have had better luck with other Sony products. A positive is the Music Center app which is useful for the device. If this purchase was $200-$250, it would be closer to 4-5 stars, but I paid $300, and I just don’t think the value for the money is there. The Sony 2.1 soundbar I have challenges this device in quality and sound reproduction and a lower price and size (big difference is the soundbar is not battery powered).

Posted .Hi JimmieSmith, We're sorry to hear that the Sony SRSXP500 did not meet your expectations. This speaker has 20 hours of battery life when fully charged. To achieve this, please make sure to do the following:
-The volume level of the speaker is set to 16.
-The sound effect is set to MEGA BASS. (factory default settings)
-The lighting function is set to off.
We also appreciate your feedback about the weight of the unit. The weight is due to the X-Balanced speaker units, a unique, Sony-developed speaker unit that allows for rich, powerful bass, and higher sound levels while maintaining clarity.
And to get the most out of this speaker. Fine-tuning the SRSXP500 to maximize the volume and adjusting the built EQ using the Music Center app are some the steps that we recommend to ensure optimal listening experience on this speaker. For future reference, we can offer assistance on how to set up or operate the features and functions, and troubleshoot the issue of your Sony product by visiting our Sony Support website to download the help guide and look for additional information about your product. Also, you can reach out to one of our agents through this link: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/service?language=en_US. who would be glad to help. I would also recommend checking out the SRSXP700 if you're looking to get an upgrade.
Thank you for sharing your feedback.
Regards,
Sam
