    Audio is crisp and clean. No distortion from bass. Louder when plugged in. The volume could be louder when running off battery, hence the 4 star review. There are louder speakers out there for the price point. Clarity is phenomenal.

      Awesome, Ex3mpl0y33! We're very pleased to hear you appreciate the sound quality and overall features of the speaker. Your feedback is extremely important to us and is very much appreciated. 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. The XP500 is a speaker that's built to help fun-loving people make the most of their life. Whether you're relaxing in your living room or partying in your garden, the XP500 will give you a superb sound and plenty of fun features. All you have to do is choose the music. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

    Excellent portable speaker. I tried JBL and I kept getting a connection issue when I had more than 1 device paired with the speaker. This Sony XP 509 doesn’t give me any connectivity issues which great. I can pick up a device and start playing music. Sound is great, clear and loud when plugged in. When I’m portable (battery mode) the sounds does noticeably lower to conserve battery life. The lighting is impressive and can be controlled by the Sony App. Mega bass hits well, the is a convenient on/off button. My XP 500 is usually plugged in, I would recommend this speaker.

    I've had this speaker around 1 months, and I feel like it's already paid for itself in good times. I used this speaker daily for music or podcasts while doing house work, and I feel it has a great balanced sound. The Bass Boost mode also makes rap or other genres more enjoyable by kicking up the low end. For karaoke, we've used this speaker at two separate parties now, and it has performed beyond expectations! Everyone was blown away at how good the sound was. At this price point, you can't beat what you're getting!

    Works great for music and shows. Does do stereo in both vertical and horizontal. Supports UpTo 2 microphones. It does do aux in as well. Do know though that aux as a source and using a mic does cause interference and for it to pick up radio station. Happened once and it was odd. On another note if the aux in is not the same device that is connected by Bluetooth, almost anything you do on the BT device will take over audio from the aux device. Set it to vibrate or silent to stop this. Back to good stuff, batter last pretty good. No discernable distortion even at high volume, at least songs I listen to anyway.

    This is an outstanding speaker with excellent sound. Also like the fact that it can be operated on AC power or several hours on full charge when going portable. A nice surprise is that during use, there is a verbal alert to charge soon instead of just shutting down without warning. I have not tested the Bluetooth range limit.
