Sony SRS-XG500 vs SOUNDBOKS Go

The Sony XG500 is a better speaker than the SOUNDBOKS Go overall. The Sony is a smaller and lighter party speaker, making it more portable. It's better-built with an IP66 rating for dust and water resistance that certifies it to be dust-tight and protected against direct contact with water for up to three minutes. It can play stereo content without downmixing it to mono, resulting in a more immersive-sounding soundstage. It also comes with a mic/guitar input with its very own volume knob and two USB ports to charge your devices and playback audio. That said, the SOUNDBOKS can get much louder than the Sony. Its battery also lasts around 10 hours longer, and you can purchase a spare battery and switch it once it drains, so it never has to die on you in the middle of the party.
