    Good speakers, very heavy, and Battery doesn’t last long when there is alot of bass in music. Connectivity to other like speakers ideal. Would have given it five stars, if the battery would last longer.

      Hi TitusH!
      It is truly wonderful to know that you find the SRS-XP700 to be a great speaker, and we certainly appreciate your honest comments regarding the weight and, specifically, the battery performance when the bass is maximized.

      To help improve your battery life while still enjoying that deep bass, we recommend switching the MEGA BASS feature off in the Sony | Music Center app, or lowering the volume slightly. This small adjustment can significantly extend your playback time.

      Thank you for choosing Sony. We appreciate your feedback!
      Best regards,
      Estefany Sony_US

    Great speaker, very loud, but heavy. I prefer a smaller speaker, more practical for me, but if you don’t move it around much, this would be great noise maker.

      Hi RichT,
      Thank you for your time writing this review! We're glad you like the great sound quality and lighting function of your SRS-XP500 speaker. We've taken note of your feedback with regard to the volume level of the unit. For optimum performance, ensure that the software of the speaker is updated as it includes key features, applications, bug fixes, and feature improvements.

      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. If the sound is low, please try some steps below:
      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
