This speaker is truly impressive, I also have a JBL Flip 5, Klipsch Nashville, Marshall Emberton II, Bose Flex 2, and a Soundcore Boom 2. The Emberton II was my favorite, now the X500 is. This X500 has a uniquely warm and "spatial" quality with the perfect amount of bass making this speaker very enjoyable to listen to. The aluminum build quality that is excellent, I really like the size and form factor too. For me, this speaker is actually better at lower to moderate volumes compared with all my other speakers. The X500 can get very loud, though at 25%-40% volume the sound is amazing and not fatiguing. Higher volume is unnecessary with this speaker to sound great and to hear satisfying bass you can feel, especially when placed on the floor. Read more
Decently priced, nice size, good style, easy to operate, the sound is not tin like, it is as if the person or musician/s are in the room with you. Superior clarity, and I have not noticed any sound distortion when the volume is way up. This size takes up real estate in ones carry-on. However, there is a smaller version for when space is tight. It is rechargeable too, and having blue-tooth hooks up to T.V s with no sound bar, phones, and a host of options. I have a few friends who own the smaller version of this and they claim it travels well with the same great performance of this size. Read more
Very nice sound! This speaker is built like a tank and seems very durable. It looks amazing and sounds even better. The Soundcore app works well and the speaker has different modes you can select to find tune the sound profile. It delivers good powerful sound. Read more
Good sound quality as always. Bang for the buck for a hi-res Bluetooth speaker. I just hope it has a longer battery life. But it's a great product Read more
Look no further if you want a good quality sounding Bluetooth speaker. Words can't explain how good this speaker sound and the bass output really impressed me. The build quality is top shelf. Easy to set up with the app and the EQ functionality is a major plus. Better go ahead and get one before they realize they are selling it too cheap. The battery life I can't speak on because I literally on had it a couple of days now but I will update later. The only gripe I have is that there is no extra output port to charge your phone. Other than that, I promise that you will not be disappointed in this speaker. Read more
This is a great speaker. Bluetooth connect works flawlessly. The sound is great, it puts out a very loud and clean output. I play it about 1/2 volume mostly. The eq is amazing and I haven't begun use the custom settings. It is water proof and it floats so even if I doubt I would use that, its a nice feature to have. The one thing I wish it had is longer battery life. 12 hours is good, but more would be better. If I wanted to use it at full volume it would likely get around 8 hours or less. The price was $80, but that is a closeout as this item is no longer made. Overall this is a great buy. Read more
I would like to start by saying I'm not an audiophile. I'm an older person that thinks he's losing his hearing. I like music and podcasts. My genre of music ranges from classical to punk rock and everything in between. The only reference I have at this point is my JBL speaker with similar specs. When it comes to sound range, this product seems a little on the bass-y side which is my preference. I've used this product in my house and in my RV/Trailer with great sound and sound range. There are some limited on-device settings to change the audio, which works well. There is also an accompanying application that Soundcore provides that give you additional options. Indoor and outdoor sound quality are equally as good. Sound distortion is minimal and that's only if you max out the volume and the audio isn't encoded correctly, which I have not fully tested. If you have a good sound file, distortion will be nonexistent. Controls look a bit complicated, but are actually very easy to use. Build quality is seems robust, but I really like the feet on this product. It will stay where you put it as long as it's flat. I say this, because the form factor is narrow, so it fits just about anywhere, but if it's not level, it's likely to tip over. This is should not be an issue for most, but wanted to note this for anyone planning on utilizing this product outdoors. Overall, Soundcore is still relatively new compared to Bose, JBL, and the like in this product space. Soundcore gives us another option delivering a great sounding alternative. I would recommend.

I love this thing. It is very powerful / loud for the size and cost. And it sounds good! Dead simple to pair with everything (except Windows 10, and that is a Windows 10 issue). Read more
