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.

    I needed a reliable speaker for my salon, and this Sony speaker exceeded expectations! It fills my 1,000 sq ft space with crisp, clear sound and the bass is impressive. The built-in battery is a huge bonus—perfect for taking it on the go when I need music outside the salon. Great quality and totally worth it!

      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!

    The sound and style of this speaker are great! It delivers clear audio and looks awesome. My only complaints are that it should have a handle with wheels for easier transport and a larger phone slot, the current one only fits your phone if the case is off. Otherwise, it would have been a solid 5 stars!
