Sony XV500 Speaker
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Speaker is powerful and light enough to throw in the car and take on trips or to job sites. The unit will charge fast and run on battery power alone which is handy. You can turn on the lights or keep them off. It also has a lot of bass which you can turn off the bass boost too. I love it.

We're glad to hear that you are enjoying the sound quality of your SRS-XV500 speaker—it's designed to deliver powerful audio!
Regarding the ports: The SRS-XV500 is equipped with inputs for maximum flexibility. You should find ports for both a microphone and a guitar/bass on the rear panel of the unit, typically labeled accordingly. This allows you to use the speaker for karaoke or even plug in an instrument directly.
If you’re having trouble locating them or getting them to work, please let us know, or you can check the user manual for a diagram of the rear panel connections!
Thank you again for choosing Sony.

Perfect bang for the buck
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound, super easy to set up. You don't have to download the Sony app to use it, just connect it to your phone or whatever you want with Bluetooth. You can tweak the EQ with the app if you'd like. Tons of sound, Sony quality is right where you want it to be for the money. I considered a bunch of the JBL ones before ultimately deciding on this. I don't regret it.

Great audio and great battery
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker has worked great for me. Used it for many outdoor bonfires not as loud as originally hoped but battery lasts all night and makes up for it especially with the sound quality.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi BenjamenP, It's wonderful to hear that the audio and battery life have been great for your outdoor bonfires. While it might not be as loud as you initially expected, the sound quality and endurance certainly seem to make it a hit. The maximum sound volume for playing music depends on whether the speaker is running on power from the connected AC outlet or from the rechargeable built-in battery. This, however, does not indicate a malfunction. To play music louder, connect the speaker to an AC outlet. The XV500 features 3 sound effects depending on your needs (STAMINA, MEGA BASS, and LIVE SOUND). Enjoy your nights out and thanks for choosing Sony. -Jess

Posted .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.
