      Hi Camera,

      Thanks for commenting. While we're glad to hear about your satisfaction with the amazing sound quality of your XE300, we're sorry if its loudness/max volume didn't live up to your expectations. The XE300 is specifically designed for audio clarity throughout its volume range. This is something our music-loving customers appreciate most. That being said the XE300 also gets very loud for its size and audio precision. To ensure that you're having the best listening experience, we recommend performing the steps on these Help Guide links:

    I got this as an exchange for a warranty replacement (JBL boombox) it’s not in the same class as that speaker. I will compare it to my JBL Xtreme 3. It doesn’t have a light to monitor battery life. There are three little lights (power,Bluetooth,&, megabass) and to find out the battery percentage, you have to pop open the back piece where you charge and press a button that says “Battery -Battery Care” . The vocals comes out muffled, and the sound is good for high drums, but so-so with low bass. I walked out of range to see how far I can go before it loses Bluetooth signal; and it’s about the same range as my Xtreme3. The problem is that the Bluetooth signal doesn’t pick back up, even if I turn off my phone’s Bluetooth, it takes the speaker a long time to power down. You have to press and hold the power button for about 30-50secs to reset, and for the speaker to reconnect Bluetooth. The party lights are giving overcompensating, it’s not Party box if you was DJ’ing for a party, You get what you pay for, and Sony needs to do a refresh on this particular model, simply would be key and better voice ohms and better bass would be best too.
