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.

    A great buy but not really for a bigger outdoor use. Works great and has a good sound indoors. A good product for Sony but gor ao.e reason to me it sounded louder in the store.

      Hi Lee713! Thank you so much for your insights about the Sony XV500 X-Series. We appreciate any feedback in order to improve our products, as always Sony tries to deliver a good experience by listening to our customers. Regarding the outdoor use, this unit is designed for that purpose. It falls under the category of wireless speakers and supports functions such as Party Connect, which makes it suitable for outdoor parties and events. If the sound is low than you expected you can try to update the Sony | Home Entertainment Connect / Sony | BRAVIA Connect app to the latest version, and also make sure that the speaker and the source device are not connected via Low Energy (LE) mode. If connected via LE mode, the Bluetooth connection may fail, or the sound may not output from the speaker even after the device is paired. To confirm the connection status, check the device name on the Bluetooth® setting on the source device. If the connected device name is displayed with LE_ (for example LE_HT-AX7), pair and connect with the device name without LE_ (for example HT-AX7). Check this link for more steps: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00080926?utm_source=glean. We hope you find this information helpful.

    This speaker has excellent sound, but I found it was too large for what I wanted. Not really easy to be relocated due to weight. It really depends on what your needs are for the speaker.
