    Found the XP500 at a Best Buy outlet for $137.00. This speaker rocks once its paired with Sony's Music Center app or with Poweramp Equalizer app. I didn't really need the speaker but at the price I got it I just couldn't pass it up. Very loud but clean sound! I wish there was a carry strap or case with wheels to haul it around. I'll try and put it in a suitcase to haul it when I need to.

    Long battery life, great bass with clear mids and highs. The equalizer feature available on the Sony sound app allows for a much more specific experience depending on what you want and where you are. Great Bluetooth range and the option to input guitar and mic inputs makes it excellent for karaoke or an impromptu jam. Very satisfied with my purchase. Also this thing is loud so be wary of indoor use, especially if you live in an apartment.

    Hands down, the best speaker. You can easily transport it (bring it with you wherever you go), it has a slot/stand for whichever mobile device you’re playing from to display at the top of the speaker, it’s already loud, but gets louder when it’s plugged in and stays clean sounding, there’s a party mode (with lights)!, you can use a mic or guitar; which I have yet to try…I used it for my annual Halloween party and it was perfect!

    It thumps, bumps, and looks great. We have used this for parties, while cruising on our boat, and even just for listening in the house. At low volumes, it is clear and full. At higher volumes, music holds together well and remains balanced. Some reviews complain about battery, but I’ve not experienced any issues. We used ours for 6 hours sitting outside while having a bonfire, took it out the next day for 3-4 hours on our boat, and still had about 30% charge.
