      Hi AmberD,

      While we're glad that you like most of the features, we're so sorry if you find the speaker doesn't get very loud. We want to make sure you are getting the most out of your speaker. To get the most out of the volume, turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device. You may also find different devices will perform better than others, as will different apps due to different types of audio compression and transmission.

      • While the speaker is running on power from the rechargeable built-in battery, the sound may become low in the event that the rechargeable built-in battery is running out of power and the CHARGE indicator flashes slowly. This, however, does not indicate a malfunction.
      • If the sound becomes low while in use, follow the procedure below.
      1. Turn off the speaker.
      2. Charge the built-in battery sufficiently.

      For additional troubleshooting, refer to this help guide link:  https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xg300/v1/en/contents/TP1000669900.html

    Decent device for listening at the park with just a few friends or people. Not the best range of sound but it's pretty good. There is no handle and it can be a little difficult to carry sometimes.

      Hi GeorgeC,

      We're so sorry if you find the speaker volume doesn't get very loud. We want to make sure you are getting the most out of your speaker.

To get the most out of the volume, turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device. You may also find different devices will perform better than others, as will different apps due to different types of audio compression and transmission.
