Big Sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall very good party speaker. It delivers big, punchy sound with deep bass and clear vocals, and the lighting effects make it fun for gatherings. The long battery life—often lasting well over a day with moderate use—adds to its appeal. Great for small gatherings or huge ones. I also have a smaller sony speaker and I was able to sync them both.

Good Speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony SRS-XV500 is an impressive portable speaker with a robust bass and vibrant sound.

Posted .That's fantastic, VinaykumarG! We're very grateful that you are enjoying the excellent audio quality and features of the speaker. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated. The XV500 doesn't have caster wheels so that you can roll it easily, however, it 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. We appreciate your time sharing this feedback. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Jess

Good speaker for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall I would rate this speaker a low-mid 4 out of 5. I purchased this speaker for our various outdoor activities and more importantly for using it during our sports practices football and baseball to have some music. Overall, i am disappointed in the sound output of this machine based on its size and comparing it to its competitors in the same size range. The sound output is not as loud as I was hoping for and the bass output is more of a mid bass and not a low bass that you get from other products. From a price standpoint I was ok with the purchase and the connectivity of bluetooth does not give me any issues, especially when I in the middle of the field and this speaker is off on the sidelines. I would have given this speaker a 5 star rating if the output of sound and bass was more in line with its competition. I am pleased with it and will continue to use it. Recommending this is a yes if you are looking for something that is going to give you good sound quality and you do not want something that would be obnoxiously to loud.

Posted .Hello CHUECOCHRIS67,
Thank you for choosing Sony!
We couldn’t be happier to hear that the speaker’s Bluetooth connectivity and sound quality have been reliable for your outdoor activities and sports practices. We sincerely apologize that the sound and bass output did not fully align with your expectations compared to similar products. Your thorough feedback is invaluable and helps us improve our future designs.
To help you get the best experience with your SRSXV500, we recommend optimizing your sound profile using the Music Center app:
- Open the App: Connect your speaker and select it within the Music Center app.
- Navigate to Settings: Go to Settings > Sound > Audio Customization.
- Adjust the Custom EQ: Use the 3-band equalizer (Bass/Mid/Treble) or detailed sliders.
- For more bass: Slide the "Bass" or lowest frequency bars to the maximum.
- For outdoor sound “throw”: Slightly increase the "Mid" and "Treble" to help sound carry further in open spaces.
- Toggle MEGA BASS: Make sure MEGA BASS mode is active to boost low-end frequencies, especially useful in wide-open areas like a football field.

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.
