Great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I Use the Sony l Music Center app to control music,
This speaker is absolutely amazing!
Looks so good, sound brilliant (mega bass), Bluetooth connection and water resistant.
Not to mention that you can pair other speakers with that one too.
Lighting is just fun it compare to the music you play at the time.
Is powerful, and after charging is playing 20 hours! So I recommend this speaker 100%.
You not gonna be disappointed.

Go on! Treat yourself to Live Life Loud!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I acquired this new wireless speaker a week ago and I could not wait any longer to submit my review – this speaker unit is remarkable and has completely blown my expectations away!
First Impressions:
The packaging is stylish yet straightforward and simple to remove. It can also be retained for future secure storage or transportation. The Operating Instructions and Reference Guides are self-explanatory making it easy to understand for users of any skill level. On close examination while charging the battery my first impressions of the speaker unit – design, manufacture, and workmanship – was that it looks and feels Durable and Modern and that it speaks of Quality. Further emphasising this quality aspect is its weight.
Getting Started & Features:
-Powerful Party Sound:
After turning it on and the quick and seamless connection to my Phone’s Sony Music Center App I lost myself in awe. I was cooking dinner at the time and saw this as the perfect opportunity to try out ‘Live Life Loud’… Well, during the first song I had to switch off the Mega Bass feature as it was totally overkill – and we have a large kitchen! The sound quality is amazing and powerful indeed!
-X-Balanced Speaker Unit:
The most important feature and the best according to my opinion! This speaker unit delivers incredible sound quality and richness. Being used to previous Sony speaker units I can only put the notable difference down to this new speaker design feature.
-Listen Loud and Clear:
The clarity of sound is rich and crisp, and the available power/ volume is remarkable.
-MEGA BASS sound with LIVE SOUND & STAMINA modes:
The default mode when switching the speaker unit on for the first time is as the name commands - MEGA BASS! The sound is deep and rich packed with power with no shortage of bass in addition to the already mentioned sound qualities. As mentioned, I had to switch off the Mega Bass feature as it was totally overkill where I was in the kitchen but do not misunderstand me when stating this – I am a Bass Junkie and any speaker unit capable of delivering this amount of bass at a touch of a button is overwhelmingly awesome!
Then came the activation of the LIVE SOUND mode... 'as if the sound could not get any better', I thought to myself! This mode adds a magical three-dimensional sound effect quality to the music which fills the room - something I have only experienced when playing the same music on my Sony Home Theatre System. The sound clarity is further emphasised, and the available power exploded into the room to a whole different level. And all this sound coming from a wireless speaker? Impossible, right? A sure reality with this wireless speaker unit!
At certain times and occasions where background music is preferred, I found by switching off the LIVE SOUND mode & MEGA BASS function and activating the STAMINA mode delivered this superbly. This mode also prolongs the battery life beyond the stated 20 hours which is remarkable.
-Light up your Life Ambient Lighting:
This feature is activated by default when turning it on. It can easily be turned off using the Light button on the rear panel when not needed during the day. In a darker setting or at night-time the Ambient Lighting adds that magical effect to the music and room or area where the speaker unit is placed. Once this is experienced you cannot do without – it looks great! The lighting patterns and colours can also be adjusted or customised using either of the Sony Music Center or Fiestable apps.
-20-hour battery life:
I have used this speaker unit moderately daily over the course of the past week and the battery had not yet needed charging. That is brilliant if you consider everywhere I have used it so far. I have even taken it to work to demonstrate the quality of sound to my colleagues. I cannot wait to use it when having friends over for a BBQ. I am really impressed by the amount of battery life.
-Water Resistance:
Having the confidence to use this speaker outdoors and not feeling overly protective over it due to rain or moisture, is such a load off my shoulders knowing that it was designed with wireless & outdoor use in mind.
-Karaoke:
This feature guarantees livening up any party! Need I say more?
-Guitar Jack:
This feature also allows further livening up of a party - a party can always do with a Guitar Hero! This also means that the speaker unit can be used by someone practicing their guitar skills instead of a stand-alone guitar amplifier. Nothing can match a good stand-alone guitar amplifier but to have this option available is very useful. The guitar jack also doubles as a second mic jack.
-Party Connect - Connect up to 100 units:
This is a nice to have feature to use where circumstances call for the need of even more sound power and volume! My friends have already shown much interest in this speaker unit and the idea of being able to meet up and connect multiple speaker units together would be great. I can also see the benefit of having a couple of these units scattered about all playing the same music when connected.
-Play & Charge USB Ports:
One of the USB ports support music file streaming from a Memory Stick while both USB ports support device charging. I think it is a brilliant design feature of this speaker to serve as a power source enabling Smartphone or Tablet PC charging. This could in fact be handy when being stranded somewhere remotely with a flat Smartphone battery.
-Stand up/ On its side:
I was unaware of this design feature – being able to lay it on its side – which makes the speaker unit more versatile to its surrounding space.
-Music Center app:
A quick and easy download and installation to your Smartphone enables you to control the speaker unit functions remotely including accessing playlists, songs, lighting patterns and sound modes.
-Fiestable app:
Another quick and easy download and installation to your Smartphone also enables you to control the speaker unit functions remotely including accessing lighting patterns etc. but with the added benefit of making use of Motion Control Gestures through your Smartphone.
So my verdict? After a week of use this wireless speaker unit has become my new favourite sound accessory especially due to it being wireless and battery operated. It opens so many new opportunities that were unthinkable before.
Go on! Treat yourself to Live Life Loud!

Excellent sound quality. Packs a real punch!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Superb speaker! Very easy to use. Had no problems connecting my devices to it.
Loved the two usb charging points for your phone at the back and the groove to rest your phone or tablet in on the top. Sound quality was excellent and the Mega Bass is outrageous. A real powerhouse.

Perfect, in every setting
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The SRS-XP500 by Sony is the latest piece of technology to come into my possession and I must say 'it's amazing'. The unit is simple to set up with clear controls for basic use. The sound produced has a wonderful depth and is distortion free, even at high volume. Play some rock & roll with the Mega Bass kicked in and heads will turn, truly.
I have the SRS-XP500 bluetoothed to my phone for music and to my computer for YouTube.
Added to this if you take advantage of the 'Sony Music Center' download to your smartphone (and why wouldn't you) a whole range of fine adjustments and remote control are at your fingertips. This unit offers high end quality performance and although a little heavy for lugging around this solidity is fundamental to the cause. I highly recommend the SRS-XP500

Sound Addition to Stack
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Package was excellent, keeping the speaker well protected. First thing to do is download Sony Music Centre app, either Apple or Android, then unbox speaker. Connecting it to any Bluetooth device it very simple, then your ready to hear your music, sing or play instruments, as all can connect perfectly. Ideal for all types of parties, speakers lights complete the party atmosphere.

Sony Wireless Speaker
Great portable Bluetooth speaker by Sony! I love all the features of it including the thumping bassy sound. It’s just the value cost too much for a portable speaker. If a little bit cheaper, much better. But other than that, I recommend this mini system to everyone!

Very good speaker.
I have owned the XG500 for a little over a week and I have found it to be the best I have owned, and I have owned a few. It has very good sound throughout the audio range and I have managed to get five days constant use without a charge. It looks great and is well built, sporting water and dust resistance. The XG500 has a built in handle which makes it very easy to move around, as it really isn’t too heavy. The speaker has a very good volume range as you can use it in the bedroom at really low volumes without the speaker suddenly cutting off. The Sony Music App is great with plenty of very useful functions, a must have companion to the XG500 for sure. I highly recommend it if your shopping about for a speaker with great sound, great build quality, can take the outdoors and is easy to carry.
