    The weight of the unit is justified when you account for the excellent sound and long battery life. Lights are just okay, not very visible in bright conditions.

    The Speaker itself sounds amazing you have a well balance Acoustics but for the size you expect it to be louder, and it's in a sense a big disappointment it's a big nice sounding speaker but it's not loud and for the best performance you have to have it plugged it whenever you use it to be somewhat loud

      Hi ANGGAL,
      Thank you for your time writing this review. While we are glad that you like the amazing sound quality of the SRS-XP500 speaker, we're sorry to hear if you feel that the sound becomes low while in use.

      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 and turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device.
      For reference: https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xp500/v1/en/contents/TP1000543551.html

      Sony values customers opinion as we always strive to provide the best experience possible. We appreciate your feedback and thanks again for purchasing Sony. - Kris Sony_US
