      Hello Alag,

      That's very nice to hear! We're glad to hear that you like the speaker. The loudness or sound quaity of the speaker will depend in the source that you're playing. That's part of the normal operation of the speaker since the speaker is capable of running on power either from an AC outlet connected by the supplied AC power cord. 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!

    Good little speaker. Has a great battery life. I own two XV-800 which has far more features including echo control. I purchased this thinking it would’ve been the same, but got the incorrect model. I should’ve done my homework and got the XV-500.

    the speaker is great for the backyard - the only complaint is the volume. When you plug it in its pretty loud but running on the battery if is definitely a lot lower. It works well with Bluetooth, but I have another speaker, different SONY model speaker that I can't connect it too. I like the speaker lot but if you are trying to connect to other speakers, make sure it is compatible

      Hi StevieB, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your SRSXP500! 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 ensure optimal listening experience, please make sure you have downloaded the Sony Music Center app. There you will find all sorts of tools like an equalizer to fine-tune your SRSXP500 and maximize the volume to your liking.

      With regards to connecting to other Sony speaker, below are the only devices compatible with the Party Connect function:
      SRS-XB43, SRS-XB33, SRS-XB23, SRS-XG500, SRS-XP500, SRS-XP700

      Note: You can connect multiple devices wirelessly (up to 100 devices) compatible with the Party Connect function.

    Clear sound Loud good alternative to the JBL 310

    Was gonna get the 310 but it was sold out. I grabbed this one instead cause I have always been a Sony guy. When I first listened to it I was kinda like meh. I like hip hop and this doesn’t have rumbling low base but it does have good punch base. I was considering returning it till one day I let my spouse put her music on one day. She listens to 80s soft rock. She started playing Journey and the sounds of the instruments and vocals were so clear and crisp that I was stunned. That moment won it over for me. This is a house speaker that can be taken places. I move it all over the house back yard while doing house work it moves all around with me and keeps my phone charged too. The lights are nice not too flashy nice and smooth. Also this thing plays low volume very well. I feel like you can put it on a low volume walk away and still here it really good. Also the speaker on the back works really well.

    This is one of the loudest outdoor bluetooth sprakers that im sure you'll enjoy for this summer in your backyard while your having company & barbeque meat on the grill. All you need is your cell phone then the magic happens. You can control the volume from the phone, change music selections, answer calls, etc. This is a must have to entertain yourself & others . I suggest & recommend to buy one to see for yourself this is a game changer. You cant go wrong !
