    My friend had the new version XP700 and I loved it so I had to get one. I found this model on sale almost half off. It has such powerful sound with mega bass, no distortion and the lights are amazing. I own sonos and dr dre beats and this speaker is just as good

    I bought this speaker for my husband and I must say it has been worth every penny. He uses it every day outside in the backyard while he’s shooting his bow. We also took it camping with us the sound is crystal clear. You won’t regret this purchase. Winner in my book

    I love the sound quality. I love how the speaker is made. I love the Party Connect but there are glitches that work out once the updates are complete. I do not like the fact that it loses power when unplugged. I would like for the app to be able to power the speaker on. It already powers it off. All in all, I am a lifelong Sony fan and will continue to purchase and enjoy their products! It would have been 5* if it didn't lose power when unplugged. I would recommend this speaker 100%.

      Hi Kodiak, Awesome! We're glad you love the excellent sound quality and Party Connect feature of your new Sony SRSXP500. We're sorry to hear about the power-related issue you're having. This is usually not the case for our SRSXP500 nor the experience we want you to have. The speaker is capable of running on power either from an AC outlet connected by the supplied AC power cord (mains lead) or from the rechargeable built-in lithium-ion battery. When using the speaker on battery, be sure to fully charge the built-in battery. If the built-in battery is fully charged when you connect the speaker to an AC outlet, the CHARGE indicator lights up in orange then turns off after about 1 minute.

      *Charging will complete in about 3 hours* and the indicator will turn off.

      If the speaker turns off right after you unplugged the supplied AC power cord (mains lead) even after you sufficiently charge the unit, service may be required. For further assistance, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

    Amazing speaker I used it at my warehouse job and me and my coworkers could hear it crystal clear over all the machines and forklifts, it's super easy to use and setup your phone with, there is also a companion app for it that allows you to mess with the sounds on it and the lights.

    It's very loud. Easy to connect. Sony has it's own app. It's cool that you can connect multiple spreakers. The only thing with that, it's a little bit hard because if you forget to press on party connect button that speaker takes over instead which you have to restart. Another thing when you're trying to connect all speakers have to be one arm length.

    This speaker is more than loud enough with great bass and aesthetics. We used this speaker indoors the majority of the time and we never had to push the volume past halfway. I would recommend it for parties or get togethers. The sound is crystal clear and the bass isn’t overpowering. Definitely would recommend.

    I love the fact that the battery holds a long charge. It has two microphones jacks and the bass is outstanding. The only reason I took a star off is it isn’t that loud. The louder it is the less you hear the bass. But this will def get the house party going if you need something portable! I would still recommend it to someone.

      Hi iHome,
      Thank you for your time writing this review. Glad to hear you love the long battery life, microphone jacks, and outstanding bass of your Sony XP500 speaker. We're sorry to hear if the sound volume is not too loud for you and that it compromise the bass when it gets louder. 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 and turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device. For reference: https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xp500/v1/en/contents/TP1000543551.html?search=low%20sound
