Secondly, it’s clear from the published specs, that the Sony SRS XG500 sounds great for its size. E.g. It plays loud enough for medium size parties at patios, swimming pools, dances, et al, with its approximately ten (10) watts RMS of audio power per channel, 20 watts total.

Plus, even at loudest volume, the lithium ion battery can last from four (4) to thirty (30) hours per recharge depending on surrounding temperature, light setting, and program content.
