    Hands down, the best speaker. You can easily transport it (bring it with you wherever you go), it has a slot/stand for whichever mobile device you’re playing from to display at the top of the speaker, it’s already loud, but gets louder when it’s plugged in and stays clean sounding, there’s a party mode (with lights)!, you can use a mic or guitar; which I have yet to try…I used it for my annual Halloween party and it was perfect!

      Hi GuadalupeF, Thank you for giving the XP500 a perfect rating! Glad you like the amazing battery life and sound quality of your new Sony XP500. Please note: The volume will become low when 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. 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

      Hi MayankV,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback on the XP700. We’re glad you’re enjoying the speaker overall, and we want to make sure you’re getting the full impact of that bass performance.

      To help you get that deep, punchy sound the XP700 is known for, we recommend trying these two steps:

      1- The MEGA BASS Button: Ensure the MEGA BASS button on the top panel of the speaker is illuminated. This activates our specialized low-frequency enhancement specifically designed for this model.

      2- Sony | Music Center App: We highly recommend downloading the Sony | Music Center app on your smartphone. Within the app, you can access Sound Settings and use the Custom Equalizer. By adjusting the low-frequency sliders, you can fine-tune the bass response to your exact preference and environment.

      We hope these steps help you get the most out of your XP700, and thank you for considering Sony!

      Regards,
      Dominick Sony_US
