Customers are saying

Customers regard the XV500 X-Series Wireless Party Speaker highly for its sound quality, impressive battery life, and deep bass. Many appreciate its portability, easy connectivity, and sufficient volume, while some find the size ideal for apartment living. The water resistance and cool light show are also valued features, though a few customers noted the speaker's weight makes it less easy to move.

    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.

    Great sound quality, i don't think the battery lasts as long as they say. I do keep bass boost off most of the time as well as the lights and i feel like it's still closer to 10-14hrs run time. But overall i like the speaker. You also have a tray that holds your phone and a way to charge it if needed. Don't think it will fit most cases though.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback on the SRS-XV500 speaker, JaredH!

      It's excellent to hear that you are enjoying the great sound quality and the convenience features, like the integrated phone tray and the ability to charge your device.

      We do appreciate your honesty regarding the battery life. We list the maximum playtime based on specific test conditions. Since a continuous playtime of 10-14 hours is what you're observing, even with the Bass Boost and lights off, we would be happy to have our support team review your settings and usage. There might be a minor configuration or setting we can adjust to help you get closer to the advertised maximum playtime.

      Please connect with our dedicated audio support team using the link below if you'd like to troubleshoot the battery performance: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=car

    A solid choice. Base good, sound quality is clear. For large indoor gatherings the speaker does struggle to be heard above the crowd. But as i got this for a great deal, not as big of a complaint.
