    Bought this for my oldest! I had gotten one for my hubby and our son just kept talking about it every time he came to visit. So he has this one and was over the moon!

      Hi SeanG,

      We are so glad to hear your son is over the moon with his new XV500! It's wonderful that he can now enjoy the same powerful sound and "MEGA BASS" as his dad. Since they both have X-Series speakers, they can actually use the "Party Connect" feature to link both units together for an even bigger synchronized sound experience when they visit each other.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Best regards,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback, RayA.

      We are pleased to hear that you find the sound quality of your SRS-XV500 speaker to be good.

      However, we are sorry to hear that you feel the overall volume output for a speaker of this size is disappointing. We design our X-Series speakers to balance powerful sound with clear, high-quality audio across various settings, and we regret that the maximum volume has not met your expectations.

      We would like to ensure you are getting the full potential from your speaker. Sometimes, checking the MEGA BASS setting in the Sony | Music Center app and ensuring the source device's volume is at its maximum can help.

      Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We value this input as we continually strive to meet customer expectations for party-level sound.

      Thank you for choosing Sony.

      Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team sony-global
