With the combination of X-Balanced Speaker Unit, powerful tweeter and PRs, the XG500 delivers powerful sound that's made for outdoor parties. Want to listen to music on the go? No problem, the XG500 has a convenient handle so you can take it anywhere. The innovative X-Balanced Speaker Unit has an asymmetrical diaphragm with a wider range than conventional speakers. This gives you a more intense and clearer sound, no matter what kind of music you're listening to. The XG500's technologies work together to deliver better sound quality. X-Balanced speakers deliver deep, powerful bass and clear vocal reproduction, even when the sound is loud. A powerful tweeter provides clear, room-filling high-frequency sound, and the passive diaphragm delivers bass with extra clarity. Combined, these elements create an impressive sound that's best enjoyed with friends. Mega Bass lets you really turn up the music. For tracks with a beat, this provides deep, rich bass. The sound of live music is something very special. With Live Sound, you can relive that unique atmosphere and your favorite live music experiences over and over again. Ambient lighting provides modern and subtle illumination, perfect for parties or even everyday life. You can choose from different lighting patterns in the Sony Music Center app. If you want to show off your singing talent, connect a microphone to the speaker or use the speaker as an amplifier and play guitar like a real rock star.

Plug a USB memory stick into a USB port on the back and stream your favorite music from your device. Connect up to 100 compatible speakers and sync music and lights for even more illumination and volume. When your smartphone battery is low, you can connect it to the speaker for direct charging. Tweak audio settings, control music, select lighting patterns, and manage your devices right on your smartphone. Access great features like party playlist creation, karaoke, and more.
