    Excellent quality for a bt speaker, great bass sound, and great for a backyard party. When the music starts playing everyone asks “What kind of speaker is that… we need one of those!” So if you are looking to get the party started and have your guest on the dance floor I highly recommend this speaker!

    I was looking for a speaker I could use outdoors for family gatherings and parties. This was an exceptional combination of power, sound quality and great looks.

      Hi JesusSilva, Thank you for sharing your feedback on your Sony XP500 speaker! We're glad you like the great sound quality of the unit. We have noted your input about the volume level when running on battery and will be sure to forward this feedback to the appropriate department. 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!

      Hi Bestbuying,
      Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're glad to know that you like your XP500 party speaker. We appreciate and taken note of your feedback with regard the sound. While the speaker is running on power from the rechargeable built-in battery, the sound may become low in the event that the rechargeable built-in battery is running out of power and the CHARGE indicator flashes slowly. This, however, does not indicate a malfunction. If the sound becomes low while in use, turn off the speaker and charge the built-in battery sufficiently.

      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. To play music louder, we suggest to connect the speaker to an AC outlet. For reference: https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xp500/v1/en/contents/TP1000243112.html?search=low%20sound
