Its portability and loud volume are also frequently praised, making it ideal for parties and outdoor use. While some find it a bit heavy, the water resistance and attractive design are generally well-received. A few users mentioned that the price point could be improved and the app requires some enhancements.

    The sound is very good, crisp highs and a strong bass is you turn on the base button. It is slightly louder when plugged in versus the battery power.

      Hi Goodlife7, Thank you for giving the SRSXP500 a perfect rating! We're glad you like the crisp sound quality and punchy bass of your new Sony 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. This, however, does not indicate a malfunction.

    A Powerful Speaker

    I’ve had this speaker about a month and so far I’m very satisfied. It’s more speaker power than I needed but since I’m not using it anywhere near max power it sounds great. It is rather heavy if you plan to move it round a lot. The Sony Music Center app works reasonably well and allows you to group with other Sony speakers that support “party mode” for simultaneous play (or stereo play which I haven’t used). I use it for workouts and the deep bass is highly motivating for me.
