      Hi Sguy,
      Awesome! We're glad to hear you are happy with your XP500 speaker. You may try some steps below if you feel that the sound volume is low:
      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.
      Turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device.
      Check that the connected device is playing.
      For reference: https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xp500/v1/en/contents/TP1000543551.html

      In case you need help with the unit, feel free to contact us by sending an email to socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following:

    This is a decent bluetooth speaker. It has nice sound. When its not plugged in you can tell the sound is not at its peak, if you want the best sound use it plugged in. Besides that i recommend this unit, in bestbuy i heard the XP900 and was blown away, i wish i would have gotten that one.
