      Hi Yile,

      Thank you for the 5-star review of your SRS-XP500 speaker. We are very happy to hear you like the great sound quality and overall features! 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.

      Hi MichaeljW,

      We're happy that you like the overall sound quality and it works great at the pool. We're sorry if you find the speaker doesn't get very loud. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. 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. Also, 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.

      If the sound becomes low while in use, follow the procedure below.
      1. Turn off the speaker.
      2. Charge the built-in battery sufficiently

      The XP500 is a speaker that's built to help fun-loving people make the most of their life. Whether you're relaxing in your living room or partying in your garden, the XP500 will give you a superb sound and plenty of fun features. All you have to do is choose the music. Thank you for sharing your feedback and for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

    The Sony XP-700 is awesome. The battery last a long time, is quick and easy on the Blue-Tooth connection, and cranks out the music with great bass, highs and lows, and the volume exceeds my needs when out in the pool or just working outside on projects. We can be in the house and the Bluetooth still connects.

    Its a good speaker with a nice design to it. It sounds good. But its not loud enough for me and I noticed as you raise the volume at a certain point it seems like the volume gets lower. I saw a review comparing this speaker with the JBL Partybox 110 which clearly proves how much better the JBL is. At 70% volume on the JBL you would need to have the Sony at 100% to compare. I returned my Sony yesterday and picked up the JBL and I am much more happier.

      Hi MisterMadrid,

      We're so sorry if you find the speaker doesn't get very loud and you're not having the best experience with this speaker. By downloading the Sony Music Center app, you will find all sorts of tools to fine-tune the speaker using the built-in EQ and maximize the volume to ensure optimal listening experience. To get the most out of the volume, we recommend to turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device. You may also find different devices will perform better than others, as will different apps due to different types of audio compression and transmission.

      If the sound becomes low while in use, we also recommend to follow the procedure from the link below.
      https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xp500/v1/en/contents/TP1000243112.html

      We regret to hear that the speaker had to be returned. We hope that you will shop Sony again in the future.

      Thanks again for sharing your feedback.

      Jess Sony_US
