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.

    Great sound quality, i don't think the battery lasts as long as they say. I do keep bass boost off most of the time as well as the lights and i feel like it's still closer to 10-14hrs run time. But overall i like the speaker. You also have a tray that holds your phone and a way to charge it if needed. Don't think it will fit most cases though.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback on the SRS-XV500 speaker, JaredH!

      It's excellent to hear that you are enjoying the great sound quality and the convenience features, like the integrated phone tray and the ability to charge your device.

      We do appreciate your honesty regarding the battery life. We list the maximum playtime based on specific test conditions. Since a continuous playtime of 10-14 hours is what you're observing, even with the Bass Boost and lights off, we would be happy to have our support team review your settings and usage. There might be a minor configuration or setting we can adjust to help you get closer to the advertised maximum playtime.

      Please connect with our dedicated audio support team using the link below if you'd like to troubleshoot the battery performance: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=car

    Just received mine today and gave it a quick run with Spotify. Sound was clear and bass was solid. Never got it up over 40% as far as volume as my wife is upstairs on a work call. Just ordered a second one to pair with it, these will replace our old wireless Monster speakers for parties and outdoor movies. Will update or add a new review after I test out the speaker grouping feature and BT range.
