Posted .Hi James, Thank you for taking the time to review the XP500 X-Series Portable Wireless Speaker. The XP500 combines a superb sound with plenty of party features to make it a fun and versatile speaker. With Powerful Party Sound by the X-Balanced Speaker Unit and the front high-efficiency tweeter, it sends out rich, clear and high-quality sound. It is perfect for parties, inside or outside the home, has plenty of battery life, is IPX4 Water resistant and has an easy-to-use handle for moving from one party to the next. The innovative X-Balanced Speaker Unit has a non-circular diaphragm with more area than conventional speakers. That means that you’ll get a richer, clearer sound, no matter what style of music you’re listening to. Thanks for choosing Sony! Jay
