Thanks to quick charging, users can get up to 2.5 hours of listening time from just 10 minutes of charging¹. The Battery Care function protects your speaker from overcharging, making it more dependable for longer.²

The SRS-XV500 was built with portability and flexibility in mind. The SRS-XV500 features an IPX4 water resistant³ rating, making it easy to bring the party outdoors.

Fun and Entertainment Features

Users can sing their favorite tunes with the SRS-XV500 karaoke function by simply plugging in a microphone and pressing play. The Echo and Key Control on the rear panel of the unit let users adjust the sound to preference. A second input, also compatible with individual mixing, allows users to attach a second microphone to turn a solo into a duet, or plug in a guitar to ramp things up even further.

The SRS-XV500 also helps create a party atmosphere thanks to its ambient light feature. Whether for daily use or for party use, customers can customise the illumination by the Fiestable mobile app.⁴
