Working with the dual front-firing tweeters are a pair of X-Balanced 5.5" woofers. The X-Balanced diaphragm design is almost rectangular, giving more surface area when compared to many conventional drivers. This increases sound pressure for punchier bass, less distortion, and clearer vocals.

Dual inputs on the back of the XV500 let you play guitar or sing karaoke. One input is a microphone input and the other is a combo input, which means that instead of playing guitar, you can sing a duet.

Dual carry handles let you place the XV500 in any room inside, and thanks to splash- and rain-resistant construction, you can carry it outside as well. This makes the XV500 ideal for house parties, BBQs, pool parties, and more.

Sony's Party Connect feature is a part of the XV500, which allows it to sync with up to 100 compatible wireless speakers, allowing you to accommodate small hangouts to huge events.

The party doesn't have to stop because you forgot to charge the XV500. Simply plug in the included AC cord for 10 minutes and you can provide up to 2.5 hours of music for your guests.

You can use the Fiestable and Sony Music Center apps to control your experience. Both are available for iOS and Android devices. The Fiestable app offers DJ controls, lighting adjustments, and more. The Sony Music Center app offers speaker control, settings adjustment, playlist selection, speaker pairing, and more.
