Balanced speaker structure, vivid stereo sound

Sony SRS-XP500 has a speaker system consisting of 2 5cm tweeters and 2 14cm woofers, creating a standard 2-way stereo sound structure. The tweeter is responsible for sharp high range, helping the vocals to be clear and rich in detail, while the woofer provides powerful bass, with good spread and depth - ideal for vibrant music genres such as EDM, Dance or Pop Ballad remix.

Audio technology enhances the music listening experience

The XP500's big strength lies in its suite of modern audio processing technologies.

DSEE (Digital Sound Enhancement Engine) restores lost frequency bands in compressed music files, delivering near-hi-res audio quality – perfect for digital music listeners from MP3, YouTube, or streaming.
