Sony SRS-XP500 Review - Great If Its Plugged In

[@homie-gtv322]

@Felix Leon Definitely. For New Year celebration I had it bumping unplugged.

[@mmmkeklol]

I bought it, I've been using it for about 2 months, like he said, unplugged from power, it is not that loud, but the sound takes up a bigger space and sounds better than a small speaker, for me at least. And plugged in, its just dope.

[@cal669]

yep, exactly. the bass at low volumes feels like its playing loudly i love it

[@EchoClaridad]

Exactly I have also

[@MusicAnirban]

I auditioned it today, it sounded much better than the xp700. The bass response and fidelity were much better.

[@boblem5994]

So, the XP700 weighs over 37 pounds or 26.9 kilos. That is a lot of weight to be considered portable. It's also very expensive. My solution is to get the XP 500 and buy a portable lithium ion battery from Bluetti or Jackory. Now you have the bass output and an independent power source if you want to party more remotely.

Xp500 sounds soooooooo good in person I can hardly believe it

So true. Many reviews say jbl is better, but this speaker is great. The only thing is that it doesn't get as loud as it should. Other than that, ita a fantastic speaker

[@mance7996]

@@franklingomez2169I came up with same conclusion after testing this speaker and JBl 110 at Best Buy,plugged in.. way better sound ..

[@raymondthornton8544]

I like very clear and non-garbly sound on the XP500. Sony needs to up their bass game on these larger model though like JBL did with the Partybox line.

[@Handlethatineedtouse]

All though jbl has more bass the bass ain’t bad your should hear it irl

[@JCMDRHProductions]

The reason why you hear compression in the sound from the speaker it’s because the amplifier is protecting the speaker drivers from being blown out

[@pixelreflectorpro]

Sony should do the same thing that lg did to the pk5 and pk7 release an update to make the xp500 and xp700 louder

[@thecarlover7491]

Yeah the pk7 sounds louder than this speaker when not plugged in lol

[@Shadowhunter87]

I madly love the PK7. Bought two of them back three years ago for less than 200€ together and have them running on Stereo ever since. I was blown away how much they improved after the software update. So you say there's no need to get the XP500 when I already own the PK7 line? For reference: I also own two of the XP700 now, got them in Stereo-Mode. Thinking about upgrading two more XP500's to Party Connect them. 🙂

[@pauldadzie6991]

Glad I watched your review before buying this thing. It's crazy expensive in my neck of the woods (somewhere in Southern afrcia😊) but I was drawn to its compact size and it's guitar and karaoke functions, but the line "leave you wanting more" has convinced me to pass. I wanted something for parties and small karaoke gigs that I arrange and get paid for, I will keep on looking for something else. Suggestions are welcome.

[@GYMCADDY]

PARTYBOX 110… if you can find it. PARTYBOX 100 is also better than the Sony.

[@Photo-ms1mo]

[@jayph8886]

I have just bought this speaker and i wish i would of seen this before as the sound you loose if its not plugged in is massive hardly no bass and loose 20% of the sound... when its plugged in its great sounds amazing.. ive contacted sony customer support who are aware of the issue so hooefully an update for this speaker will be out very soon

do u mean that its sound is better when u plug it in with electricity ?? or is it just about the volume ??

[@JAMYJIM]

I have the XP500 and it’s a amazing speaker

[@user-vp4sz5mr4n]

Bought two of this speaker and I am really loving the stereo mode and quality of music it produces. Although I have to agree that when unplugged it is not as impressive when plugged in. I just have a slight problem now because whenever I use the 3.5mm input the sound will only be available on one speaker. And in defence I am not really a tech guy so I am hoping to get some advice here😅.

[@samuelvista]

due to the 3.5mm being auxillary and not digitally through bluetooth regularly, party connect won't work. since the other speaker won't have an input to get, and the speaker can only stay on one input, so if auxillary is in, it will override any other input method besides usb.

[@EchoClaridad]

I recommend if your looking outdoor party speaker just choose samsung mxt-70 so loud ang strong bass believe me

[@SouthernStyle357]

omg! $350.. bought 2.. $700.. the price of one high end speaker.. connected them in stereo mode and omg.. i see lots of reviews on a single speaker.. try two in stereo..

[@hayabusa9289]

May i know the power output of this speaker?

[@TheDimajzer]

Good that there is a review like this, had a long long time a go an xb20 when it came out, but had to change it to jbl because of battery-loudness shit when it unloads the battery, the loudness came down. Now its time to get something bigger, so seeing this review, i think im gonna take jbl partybox 310

[@charlied8456]

I purchased the XP500 today, found out how bad it sounded on battery, and returned it. I replaced it with a Partybox 100 and while there's still a slight difference in output when plugged in vs on battery, it's absolutely nowhere near as bad as the XP500. I'm not returning the Partybox 100.

[@camwells9726]

What’s the sound quality like at medium volume ? I’d like a speaker that sounds good turned up , but quality wise still sounds good turned down as background music for barbecues etc

[@bryantgaspar9394]

Do you think two of these speakers plugged would be good for an outside party

[@DjayXx3446]

Compare the XP500 to the JBL Partybox 100

Not same build quality. JBL needs upgrade

will you test the brand new Soundcore Life P3 against some competitors in the same price range like Galaxy Buds Plus etc.?

Nothing brings a party to screeching halt like Sony Party Connect! This is a ongoing issue even with previous models.

Max volume can go upto how much battery backup ?

[@the808life]

Dude is super short making this look massive. It’s the most compact big well made speaker you can buy. So for the best music quality I can sacrifice some loudness. It’s flossing on JBL, that look like garbage. And Sony shit is made right. This ain’t being mass produced for idiot US Walmart slime shoppers yet…
