    I bought this to add to the one that I had previously purchased. They work well as a sound source for watching movies outdoors with my projector or simply listening to music while hanging out outdoors. They sound good, but these will not shake your teeth out by any means. They're also not super loud, although loud enough to get you a noise complaint. Regardless of the volume or what you're listening to the speakers are clear and crisp. I'll likely purchase the bigger version as well to tie it all together.

      Hi JBetz, Thank you for the positive review! We're glad it works great for watching movies outdoors while paired with your projector. And good to hear you like the clear and crisp sound quality of your Sony XP500. Please note: 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. Hope this helps!
      The XP500 combines superb sound with plenty of party features to make it a fun and versatile speaker. With Powerful Party Sound by the X-Balanced Speaker Unit and the front high-efficiency tweeter, it sends out rich, clear, and high-quality sound. It is perfect for parties, inside or outside the home, has plenty of battery life, is IPX4 Water-resistant, and has an easy-to-use handle for moving from one party to the next. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US

    This speaker is amazing. It’s got a clear, solid sound. The sound carries well throughout our 1/3 acre yard and carries throughout our 4,000 square ft home. It lights up which is nice in the evening. Charging the speaker is quick and lasts for about 20 hours or so. It pairs easily with all our phones. We are very happy with it and highly recommend

    I purchased this for my outdoor projector screen setup. I tested it thoroughly and found that with the output of my Epson protector (3,5mm), I just could not get it loud enough. That said, I ordered a $20 amp from amazon, which made it just a little bit louder that made all the difference. With the amp, sound is clearer and can get it exactly as needed. The app for this is awful. Sony should be ashamed of themselves for this crap. Also, the speakers all have the same BT name making it next to impossible to isolate for settings. Again shame on Sony. These speakers are SUPER heavy but have a good handle for grips. I have not tried the karaoke function or guitar amp
