    Has a great sound and is not complicated to use but, it does not get crazy loud and, the sound of the music actually changes a little when you plug in a microphone which I find very strange.

      Hi Jmac, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your SRS-XP500. We're glad you're enjoying the great sound quality and ease of use of your new Sony speaker. 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.

      And we're sorry to hear that the music changes a bit when you plugged in a microphone. Let's try to isolate and resolve this issue by following the troubleshooting steps on the link below:
