      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.

      Best regards,

    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

      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.

    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.
