      Hi Bluboy,

      We are thrilled to hear that you are loving the powerful bass and sound quality of the XV500! While it does have some weight to it, we designed it that way to house the dual X-Balanced Speaker units that deliver that room-filling sound you’re enjoying.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

    Worked amazing at our wedding and we just paired it with a second one. Awesome return policy from best buy where if you dont like the sound or if they dont pair well together with other ones you can try out a different one. Ended up taking this on a hike 5+ miles and wasnt that bad lugging it around as it is probably less than 50 lbs.

      Hi Tony, Thank you for sharing your awesome experience with our XV500 speaker. We really love to hear that you like the amazing sound quality and overall performance of the speaker. Your feedback regarding the weight of the unit is very much appreciated. The XV500 has a comfortable handle that makes carrying it easy. So if you usually have your speaker in the house, but fancy listening in the garden, simply pick up your speaker and go. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

    Fantastic speaker, I’m a mechanic and use this speaker in my shop daily! Quality is great, I was in between this speaker and the JBL competitor, honestly I think the Sony sounds better and the bass is awesome! Highly recommend this product any day of the week!

      Hi, SamanthaH,

      Thanks for the review and the 5-stars rating! It is truly wonderful to hear how much you and the kids are enjoying your Sony Portable Party Speaker! Our X-Balance Speaker Unit features an almost rectangular diaphragm, for an increased surface area compared to conventional speaker units. The 140 mm x 140 mm larger woofer unit gives clear and deep bass sound.

      Thanks for choosing Sony, have an amazing day!

    Sound quality is amazing. Not too punchy just the right amount. It does sound better when plugged in. Battery life is most impressive with moderate use and sound at 50% it gives at least 3 days of playback on a full charge. The application with controls is very easy to use.

      Thank you for the review, TomC!

      We are so glad to hear your SRS-XV500 is delivering that great sound and deep bass you were looking for! It’s also awesome to know the Bluetooth pairing was a breeze—we know how important it is to get the music started fast.

      We also appreciate your honest feedback about the portability. While we designed this model to be a more compact option in our party speaker lineup, we totally hear you that a set of wheels would make moving it even easier. We’ll definitely share that suggestion with our design team!

      Thank you for choosing Sony!

    Just received mine today and gave it a quick run with Spotify. Sound was clear and bass was solid. Never got it up over 40% as far as volume as my wife is upstairs on a work call. Just ordered a second one to pair with it, these will replace our old wireless Monster speakers for parties and outdoor movies. Will update or add a new review after I test out the speaker grouping feature and BT range.

    Speaker is powerful and light enough to throw in the car and take on trips or to job sites. The unit will charge fast and run on battery power alone which is handy. You can turn on the lights or keep them off. It also has a lot of bass which you can turn off the bass boost too. I love it.
