Awesome party speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the perfect party speaker. It sounds awesome! Loud, clear, booming bass, and it connects quickly to our portable devices. I haven't tried out the guitar amp connection, but I suspect it works great as well.

Posted .Hi chaquilaqui,
We are sorry to hear about your concerns. Please make sure to turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device. If you are playing via Bluetooth connection, keep the speaker away from a microwave oven, Wi-Fi, etc., and bring the BLUETOOTH device closer to the speaker. If there is any obstacle between the speaker and the BLUETOOTH device, move it out of the way. Refer to this link for more steps on how to isolate and hopefully resolve this low sound issue: https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xg500/v1/en/contents/TP1000243111.html.
