First, let's have a look at the Sony SRS-XG500 X-Series.
Sony needs no introduction. It’s a global brand that’s got an exceptional reputation for producing superb yet affordable audio equipment. This bass speaker is an excellent example of what Sony does best.
The second product we are looking at in this head-to-head review is the AOMAIS Life 30W.
It’s a wireless, portable speaker that has dimensions of 18.11” by 10.07” by 8.46”. It weighs a little over 12lbs. There’s an in-built handle so that you can carry it out and about with you. It’s also got a water resistance rating of IP66, which makes it ideal for pool parties or beach visits.
Next, we have a fabulous, 30-watt Bluetooth speaker, which features a very attractive design thanks to natural materials, such as bamboo and cloth. It is a powerful little speaker with two-way, dual drivers and an integrated bass radiator.

WHAT OUR TEAM THOUGHT | |
It’s simply a high-performance, wireless speaker that features water resistance, an in-built handle, and a lightweight design, while also delivering a powerful low-end performance that can fill a room. |
It's an affordable little speaker that delivers a huge bang for the buck. We like that it delivers an extended battery life when not plugged in. But it has to be the excellent sound quality that packs a low-end punch that is our top feature of this product. |
