Customers are saying

      We're thrilled to hear that you love the sound quality and that the bass on your SRS-XV500 speaker really hits! That kind of powerful, deep sound is exactly what we designed the XV500 for.

      It's rewarding to know we're helping you enjoy your music with the intensity it deserves.

      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.

      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.

      Best regards,

    A solid choice. Base good, sound quality is clear. For large indoor gatherings the speaker does struggle to be heard above the crowd. But as i got this for a great deal, not as big of a complaint.
