Sony SRS-XP700 vs SRS-XV500

The Sony SRS-XP700 is effectively the Sony SRS-XV500's louder, less portable cousin. Both speakers have a similar build quality and feature RGB lighting and a powerful, bass-heavy sound that's well-suited for parties and outdoor gatherings. The XP700 gets louder, with less compression at max volume. It also has better directivity, so audio will sound more consistent across all angles. However, these audio improvements come at the cost of a much heavier design that's tougher to move around, even when using the built-in carrying handles.
