Sony SRS-XV500 Review: Build and Design

What about the performance?

The Sony SRS-XV500 marks a refined addition to Sony’s lineup, boasting a sleeker and more rounded design. Since it is slightly smaller than the Sony SRS-XP500, it is more convenient for on-the-go use. However, at 11.2 kg, it is still quite a heavy speaker to lift with ease.

Unlike all the other headphones, there are two sound signatures that you get with these headphones. With the production earpads, you get a slightly warmer tone to the sound and with the mixing earpads, these headphones sound more neutral and have the low-end cutout. See for yourself in the sound signature graphs below –

How does it sound?

The Sony SRS-XV500 features two front-facing woofers and two front-facing tweeters. The tweeters are larger than the ones present on the XP500. In terms of sound performance, the XV500 offers a more balanced and open sound signature, a notable improvement over its predecessor.

Entering into flip foldables will introduce Honor to a distinct pricing tier. Flip-style phones, like Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 5, typically carry more affordable price tags compared to horizontal-style folding devices.

Should you buy the Sennheiser HD 490 Pro Plus?

While it may not excel in every aspect, its combination of portability, performance, and functionality makes it a worthy contender in its price range. Whether for indoor use or outdoor adventures, the Sony SRS-XV500 delivers an immersive audio experience that will please music enthusiasts and partygoers alike.
