Do not buy if using as a Bluetooth speaker!
on November 11, 2025
Posted by: Buetooth speaker user
I've had this speaker for a year now and from the start had Bluetooth pairing issues. Do not buy the speaker if you plan on using it primarily with a Bluetooth device, specifically a phone. The connection cut in and out frequently from the first few times using it, and by now simply will not enter pairing mode at all- after following all potential troubleshooting steps. Used this speaker about five times total, because it was purchased for a single event. Really wish it still worked as a general area speaker but will probably have to try and sell.

Hi there,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with the SRS-XV500. We're really sorry to hear about the Bluetooth issues you've been having.

To try and get this sorted, here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try if you haven’t already:

1) Reset the speaker by holding down the power button for about 10 seconds until it turns off, then turn it back on.

2) Initialize the speaker. Find detailed instructions here: https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/7855/v1/en/contents/TP1001275055.html

3) Clear the Bluetooth pairing list on your phone, then try pairing again.

4) Test the speaker with a different Bluetooth device to see if the issue persists.

If you’ve already tried these or if the problem continues after trying them, it sounds like a repair might be necessary. We recommend looking for a local electronic repair center online; they might be able to help you get your product back in working order.

We appreciate your feedback on our Sony product. We are sorry this happened.
Sincerely,
Estefany

Hi there!
We are really happy to hear that the SRS-XV500 is delivering on its promise and that you'd recommend it.

We packed a lot into the design to make sure it's perfect for both parties and everyday listening. Beyond the powerful, clear sound, you've got an IPX4 splashproof design, making it great for poolside or outdoor use.

Thanks for choosing Sony!
Best regards,
Estefany
