    This updated version of the Sony speaker is a marked improvement over prior generations. I have owned a prior model for more than four years, and while it is a terrific unit, it is neither rechargeable, nor as wide, ranging in dynamic sound quality. This unit is Heavier, but you can tell where that weight goes by the richness of the base. The app is very intuitive and allows for changes in the sound quality, the light show, and various other features. This is a very rich sounding, visually, entertaining, and versatile speaker unit. It is Well worth the price.

    What i like: not too heavy, sounds great, battery lasts a long time, and bluetooth connectivity is great. What they could improve: a little more protection around the handles and corners, wish it got a little louder when on battery power (plugged in is louder)

    This speaker is amazing! I can only imagine how loud it would be if you connected more to it. The sound is loud and clear and has good bass! We use it for parties and just when we want to listen to music in the house. I definitely recommend it! Its much louder if you use it while on charger also.

    This was really good for what we needed it for. My daughter needed a speaker for Taekwondo Tournaments and this absolutely did what we needed. The sound was great, the beat is solid and the battery holds a charge for a quite a few days. The only downside to this speaker is that it doesn't have any wheels to help with travel so it does get bulky when carrying all your gear. Other than that, I would recommend this speaker!

    I was skeptical at first, but I bought this I bought an open box speaker this thing is large. It is loud and the sound is exceptionally clear even at the highest settings. I would definitely recommend purchasing this. If you’re on the fence my plan is to go back and obtain another one. I really like the speaker I needed something for outside we do a lot of entertaining and it seems like we’re always struggling for sound take it from me. You’re definitely going to appreciate getting the speaker. The only thing I really wished that they would sell is a nice quality stand. That could hold this. It is heavy, but that’s really the only downside of it.

    This is an outstanding speaker with excellent sound. Also like the fact that it can be operated on AC power or several hours on full charge when going portable. A nice surprise is that during use, there is a verbal alert to charge soon instead of just shutting down without warning. I have not tested the Bluetooth range limit.

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. To play music louder, connect the speaker to an AC outlet. The XP500 is a speaker that's built to help fun-loving people make the most of their life.
