    This thing is a beast. I haven’t gotten to take it outside yet but my neighbors all know I got a new speaker. I DJ’d a house party with just one and it bumped, but still had beautiful clarity.

    This thing is a blast. Powerful. I connected it to my TV and it almost sounds better than my Bose 700. Almost lol. But I can imagine using this for a party or something else. It will get loud enough for your needs. USB port for charging on the back. Slot for phone on the front. Sony comes through with a good one this time.

    Poor when unplugged

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have had a chance to use the speaker for the last six months. Its got good sound quality if i use certain apps. For example using it with the stock phone music player, the sound is not very loud. However when i use it with my third party app called Poweramp, the sound is just crazy. When it comes to loudness, the sound is average if the speaker is not plugged in. When you plug it in is when you feel ground shaking bass and loudness. So it is basically somethin I like to use where there is power connection, if none, you will be left yearning for more. Now to the battery life, the manufacturer states 20 hours of playback with certain parameters. However in my experience, the speaker is really poor with battery, and you will be lucky to squeeze five hours from it if it is unplugged. And that is if I am listening to it with lights off, average volume and no megabass. In summary I feel disappointed in it especially with battery life.

    I give it a 5 for clarity on highs and mids but it kinda lacks bass. Not going to return it because it was the the best speakers out of all the brands i tried. Maybe I'll get some bass speakers to pair it with. It does have party pairing.

      Hi PretzforPres,
      Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! Glad to hear you like the superb sound, easy pairing, and Party connect function of your XP500 speaker. We appreciate and taken note of your feedback with regard the built-in battery life of the unit. Actual performance time may vary to the volume, songs played, surrounding temperature, and usage conditions. You may refer to this link with information of the built-in battery life using specified music source: https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xp500/v1/en/contents/TP1000243068.html?search=available%20operating

      While the speaker is running on power from the rechargeable built-in battery, the sound may become low in the event that the rechargeable built-in battery is running out of power. We suggest to connect the speaker to an AC outlet. As long as the speaker is connected to an AC outlet by the supplied AC power cord (mains lead), the speaker's built-in battery is capable of charging itself even while the speaker is turned on.

      Hope this information helps and thanks again for purchasing Sony! - Kris Sony_US
