Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the exceptional sound quality, impressive battery life, and strong bass response of the XV500 X-Series Wireless Party Speaker. Many appreciate its portability despite its size and the convenient handles, along with the added features of water resistance and a synchronized light show. Some find the speaker's weight to be a drawback, impacting its ease of relocation. Overall, the positive feedback on audio performance and additional features outweighs the concerns about weight.

      Hi Zaddyrie,

      That's fantastic! Thank you for purchasing the Sony XV500. We really love to hear you like the clear sound quality and built-in lighting of this wireless party speaker. We're sorry to hear you find the speaker doesn't get very loud. We want to make sure you are getting the most out of your speaker. To get the most out of the volume, turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device. You may also find different devices will perform better than others, as will different apps due to different types of audio compression and transmission.

      If the Sound becomes low while in use, refer to this helpful guide link:

      Hi, ARODDPT,

      Thanks for the review and the 5-stars rating! It is truly wonderful to hear how much you 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!

      Hi AdamL,

      We're sorry to hear that the XV500 X-Series wasn't delivering the volume you expected for your outdoor gatherings, as sound dispersion outside can definitely make speakers sound quieter. To maximize the loudness for open spaces, please ensure the speaker is plugged into an AC outlet, as running on battery can sometimes limit the maximum power output. Also, make sure the MEGA BASS function is active, and try using the 'LIVE SOUND' effect, which is designed to expand the sound stage. If you still feel the output is too low, using the Party Connect feature to link it with another compatible Sony speaker can provide a significant boost in volume.

      Thanks for choosing Sony.

      Best regards,
      Eliab Sony_US
