Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the XP500's impressive sound quality, deep bass, and long battery life as key strengths. 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.

    Very good speaker, excllent apund quality… but the purpose of party speaker is defeated without a physical remote… remote on mobile is useless during a party…

    I retired my GTK-XB7, after 10 years it finally stopped working for me. I have now acquired the SRS and the sound quality is amazing and will annoy your neighbors! Definitely recommend. It’s great for the beach as well, just make sure you dust off the sand after!

    Nice speaker. Sound is good for my garage gym. I dislike how the volume is decreased when on battery power. Light’s don’t line up with music, they just flash randomly

    I bought this speaker because I work in a loud factory. On weekends we are allowed to listen to music. This speaker can be heard 1/2 of the way across the plant with the machines running, or the whole plant with the machines off. This thing explodes music into the stratosphere I swear to god. If you get more than one they can sync up together and play the same music from one source!
