Quality speaker
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The speaker works well for what it was intended. It gives good sound and bass foe outdoor area coverage. I only gave it 4 stars because instructions stated battery was up to 25 hours and it only gave me about 10 hours on a full charge.

Posted .Hi SeanG,
We are so glad to hear your son is over the moon with his new XV500! It's wonderful that he can now enjoy the same powerful sound and "MEGA BASS" as his dad. Since they both have X-Series speakers, they can actually use the "Party Connect" feature to link both units together for an even bigger synchronized sound experience when they visit each other.
Thanks for choosing Sony.

We appreciate your honest feedback that it wasn't as loud as you anticipated.

Decent buy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is good, but the volume for such a big speaker is disappointing.

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.
