    Good but way too loud. I wish it would have better controls and options to play from. Sonos seems better when it comes to those options.

    Decent speaker but not very user friendly. For one, you have to have two Sony apps to use the Bluetooth feature on the speaker. Without the apps, you don't get Bluetooth. Makes zero sense to me. The lighting app isn't good at all. I actually expected a little more power from the speaker. Good for a small to medium size room, not for a large room.

      Hi Mslanae, Thank you for the positive review! While we're glad you like the Bluetooth range of your Sony XP500, we regret to hear that the volume level did not live up to your expectations. The maximum sound volume for playing music depends on whether the speaker is running on power from the connected AC outlet or from the rechargeable built-in battery. This, however, does not indicate a malfunction. To play music louder, connect the speaker to an AC outlet.
      To ensure optimal listening experience, please download the Sony Music Center app. There you will find all sorts of tools like an equalizer to fine-tune your speaker and maximize the volume to your liking. You may also refer to these links to help you resolve the issue and improve your experience with the SRSXP500: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/speakers-wireless-speakers/srs-xp500/articles/00228345 https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xp500/v1/en/contents/TP1000243087.html
