      Hi CapCapoMartin, Great! We're glad you love the sound quality of your Sony SRSXP500. Please note: The volume will become low when 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.
      To get the most out of your speaker, please make sure you to download the Sony Music Center app. There you will find all sorts of tools to fine-tune your SRSXP500 and maximize the volume to your liking. Please refer to this link as a reference. https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/speakers-wireless-speakers/srs-xp500/software/00271751
      The XP500 combines superb sound with plenty of party features to make it a fun and versatile speaker. With Powerful Party Sound by the X-Balanced Speaker Unit and the front high-efficiency tweeter, it sends out rich, clear, and high-quality sound.

    Distorted Sound

    I love this party box! Only issue I have had is occasionally the sound coming from my Echo Show is extremely distorted. I turn off the Sony and back on and it's ok. I have Geek Squad repair and was on hold 15 minutes today before I hung up, Since it is in the 14 day exchange period, I will be going to the store to exchange! When it works, the bass is awesome! I won't know how good it really is until I have it outside this summer.
