    I purchased this Sony XP700 and was quite impressed with the sound. It’s smart looking and I’ve always been a Sony fan. I kept reading the reviews about the JBL PartyBox 310 and it had excellent ratings. Many people said it sounds much better than the Sony. On the 13th day, I brought the Sony back and swapped it with the JBL. That was an EXCELLENT decision. The JBL pretty much blew Sony away in every way possible. The JBL sounds better, has wheels and a pop-up handle for easy maneuverability, much better light show, (for whatever that’s worth) the sound quality of the Sony is VERY good. The sound quality of the JBL is EXCELLENT. The wheels and pop-up handle are a BIG advantage over the Sony. Overall, the JBL design is far better than the Sony. I have a Sony TV, Sony AV Receiver, Sony headphones and now, I have the JBL PartyBox 310 and I’m waiting for the JBL PartyBox 110 to be delivered tomorrow, for work. You can’t go wrong with Sony. I simply believe the JBL designer was on top of his game and edged out ALL competition. Good job JBL.

    Just ordered this speaker today. Listened to it along with other brands. Being a sound engineer I have a very picky ear. This sounded way better than the competitors . Crisp clear sound and powerful low end. This should work excellent in my classic car and I won’t have to alter the car at all. It arrives on 9/6 can’t wait!

    This speaker has the sound I've been looking for! After trying multiple JBL speakers, onn party speaker, ion party speaker, etc, I've finally found a speaker that has amazing bass! My store had this on demo (the Sony wasn't on my radar) and after hearing it compared to the other speakers on demo at the store, and the other speakers I already own, I must say this is the best portable Bluetooth speaker I've heard. It was a little more than I wanted to spend but trust me it's worth every penny!

    The SRS-XP500 is a well-designed speaker suitable for outside gatherings and indoor parties alike. The two subwoofers are punchy at low volumes, and room-shaking when cranked up. Battery life is solid, and connectivity is consistent. I've owned this speaker for around a month, and haven't had a single problem yet.
