Nice
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It Gets Loud if you need volume. Great Party speaker or could use for live gatherings or sing and play guitar with the 2 mic/instrument inputs. Lighting is bright and has good motion to the music or can be turned off. Can connect to another same speaker for stereo but must be same brand and type. I did try to pair to a Sony portable speaker with no success. Very heavy so no worry's for it falling over, should stay put! Appears to be a Solid Build Quality. Will Also be ok if you run into a rain situation. Very easy to connect due to 5.0 blue tooth and the Sony app. Power on and off are almost immediate. Volume control from phone is flawless. I did connect and guitar and mic and works ok, I would probably not use this for a performance. Maybe just a small casual get together. The battery life boasts 20 hours on a full charge. A 30 minute charge will get you going for a little while. There is a battery life check button and 2 USB ports for charging other devices Again, This is a very powerful speaker and works great!

STRONG, balanced pleasing sound
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony SRS-XP500 Portable Wireless Speaker Delivers BIG, POWERFUL, Pleasing Backyard-filling Sound. Available now at Best Buy for $450, this 25-pound behemoth really delivers the goods whether standing up on its rubberized feet or on its side on a quad of bumpers! With up to 20 hours of battery life per charge, it is well-balanced with just the right amount of strong bass, without overpowering the listener with too much boom, boom, boom. It can also operate while plugged in to wall power. Sony developed its mid-range speaker to provide clear vocals and a front tweeter for the highs. Add to this an X-Balanced speaker for the sweet sound of “MEGA BASS”. Tested with music that included classical, classic rock, jazz, acid rock and hip-hop, each of my listeners commented on the clean, crisp and altogether pleasing sound. They were also pleased with the power behind the sound. That’s high praise for such an imposing portable speaker. We all expected less! The speaker design and technology provide an effective surround sound sensation. At first look, we expected the indirect LED illumination and light shows available through the downloadable and Fiestable app to be gimmicky. We were pleasantly surprised. Choose from static colors or go DJ-style and manipulate the “record,” spinning through an endless color variety. This is fun! The Sony Music Center app allows numerous music sources to be controlled through the app. We tested Spotify and Apple Music. Launching Music Center and choosing Apple Music linked the library on my iPhone. Selection was as if within the Music app. The benefit is that there is no need to have both apps open. With the app’s Party Connect, up to 100 compatible speakers can join together. Now, that’s a party! Digging into Music Center I found another nice feature. The SRS-XP500 can be turned off through the app, so when it’s time to call it a day, or night, simply touch and it’s powered off. No worries about splashes or spills because this speaker carries an IPX4 rating. It will do just fine by the pool or next to your drinks. A top and bottom built-in handle makes moving it about as easy as picking up a 25-pound box with handles. Controls on the top of the speaker are the power button with a charge indicator, a Bluetooth button, standard Play/Pause button, “-“ with “+” button for volume control as well as a MEGA BASS button that toggles between high bass and a more subdued bass response. Ports under a protective rubber rear panel cover include a plug for the power cord, a pair of USB ports, both of which may be used for playing music files from a flash drive/stick. Alternatively, one port is designated as also acting as a charge port for, as an example, a mobile phone. In addition, there are two ¼-inch jacks. Plug in a mic or two, or one mic and a guitar, using the SRS-XP500 as the amp. Each control has its own volume control, and there is a master on/off button for these two jacks. Finally, there is a 3.5mm jack for direct connection to a computer or phone that still has one of these. Then, the speaker can use this alternate music source without the need for Bluetooth. A master Light power button, Party Connect button and Battery Care button can be found on the rear of the speaker above the rubber cover. The Battery Care button stops charging just shy of the battery reaching 100%. This is the same feature most computers and mobile phones offer in order to extend the life of the battery. I was not able to determine if the battery is user-replaceable or even replaceable at all, though the battery technology suggests at least a five year life span with regular use, and more with infrequent use. There was no information found as to whether the Bluetooth technology is 4 or 5, nor is the power rating in Watts shown anywhere I could find. I was also not able to find the battery capacity, though it is specified to power the speaker for up to 20 hours. The USB Charge port can also put a quick charge yielding up to 80 minutes of playback after only 10 minutes of charge time when using a USB-C fast charger or a USB-C power bank. **WHAT’S IN THE BOX** • Sony SRS-XP500 • Power cord • Quick setup guide and warranty **THE SETUP** As instructions indicate, first to charge the speaker, and next to connect with a phone via standard Bluetooth protocols. Then, start enjoying this powerful portable speaker. **PUT TO THE TEST** It works superbly! It is so good that users may easily consider using it while powered by a wall plug inside the home for everyday use. It would be a shame to relegate it to only occasional use when friends and family visit while partying or picnicking outdoors. There is nothing more to add. **CONCLUSION** If you are looking for a premium, feature-rich portable speaker with Bluetooth and hard-wired connectivity, with bonus guitar and microphone inputs and cool LED illumination, you can do no wrong choosing this Sony XRS-XP500. **WARRANTY** SRS-XP500 comes with Sony’s standard one year warranty.
