Posted .Hi Jess,
Thank you for your your time writing this review. While we are glad that you like the sound quality of your XP500 speaker, we're sorry to hear if the loudness and companion app did not live up to your expectations. Allow us to help turn this to a better experience.
The sound volume is low:
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.
Turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device.

Just as good if not better than JBL
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been using Sony speakers for years now, and let me tell you that they just keep getting better! Very loud and very deep bass. Hits all the mids and highs perfectly. Only I would add is a roller wheel system on it because it is kinda heavy. Don't waste your time and money on JBL, these are just as loud and usually cheaper as well

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are having trouble pairing your two SRS-XP700 speakers, Jrcmr. We understand how frustrating this can be, and this is not the experience we want you to have. The SRS-XP700 features a "Party Connect" function that allows you to connect up to 100 compatible speakers, so we are confident we can get yours working together.
To get started, here are a few steps that often resolve pairing issues:
Ensure Both Speakers Are Updated: Please make sure that both of your speakers have the latest firmware version. You can check for updates using the Sony | Music Center app.
Use the PARTY CONNECT Button: On each speaker, there is a PARTY CONNECT button. Press this button on both speakers to initiate the connection. The indicators on the speakers will flash as they search for each other.
Keep the Speakers Close: For the initial pairing, it is best to place the two speakers within 1 meter (about 3.2 feet) of each other.
Try the Sony | Music Center App: The app provides a guided process for pairing speakers using the "Party Connect" function, which can make the process simpler.
If you continue to have trouble, we would be more than happy to provide further assistance. You can find detailed instructions in the speaker's Help Guide (https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xp500/v1/en/search/search.html?search=party), or you can contact our support team directly ( https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=car ). They can walk you through the troubleshooting steps and get your speakers paired and ready to go.
Thank you again for choosing Sony, and we appreciate your patience as we help you resolve this.
Best regards,
Gus
