Sony XP 500 Power Output

The Sony XP 500 Bluetooth party PA speaker is a medium power, karaoke stereo  with abundant music power output to fill a common size room or yard with plenty loud, far reaching tunes, that feature rich bass and treble.

But what does the power output value of a BT speaker tell us about it?  Firstly, the watt is a measure of how much power the speaker consumes or outputs.  Furthermore, this metric is a handy comparison measure. E.g. Generally speaking, the more output power speakers can deliver. the louder they can play. Plus, they sound bigger than those with less.  They cost more, have larger, bulkier batteries and AC power supplies, along with outsized drivers.  They offer more dynamic range, have a deeper bass response, and stereo models like the XP 500 offer typically a bigger soundstage to listeners.

Thus in general, the more power output the speaker offers, the better it sounds, even at lower volume settings. You get clearer sound due to more accurate reproduction of the bass as well as midrange and treble content of the music. So, the speaker’s power output is a key indicator of speaker capability and quality, and as such, is of great intrigue to audiophiles and novice music lovers alike.

In this case, the Sony XP 500, as a portable indoor / outdoor column speaker, is a decidedly hefty model.  Indeed, its generous power output can fill a medium size room inside or outside with easily heard tunes. See below for details on its power output.
