    Sound is crisp, but the 6" sub-woofers are limited to what they can do. The base is clean and thumpy, but at the higher volume the two 6" subs bottom out a bit.

      Hi DavidS,
      Thank you for your time writing this review! While we are glad you like the crisp sound of your XP500 party speaker, we're sorry to hear if the bass sound bottoms out a bit at higher volume. For optimum performance, make sure that the software of the speaker is updated as it includes key features, applications, bug fixes, and feature improvements. Please note that the bass quality may also vary depending on the source and music being played. You can use the equalizer function of the Sony | Music Center to tailor-fit the sound quality to your needs. You may find this article link helpful with video tutorial on how you can adjust your compatible speaker’s bass, midrange, and treble to suit your mood or the type of music you are listening to:

    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!
