      Hi JorgeAcosta,
      Thank you for the 5-star rating! While we are glad you like your Sony party speaker, we're sorry to hear if you feel that the sound is low when using it outdoor. Sony values customer's opinion as we always strive to provide the best experience possible.

      To play the music louder, you may try some steps below:
      Connect the speaker to an AC outlet. 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.
      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?search=low%20sound

    sound is amazing. love the lights. If I could make a change it is a little heavy to pack around. It would be nice if it came with a travel case. With all that said I would buy it again and I would recommend this product for someone looking for sound while you are at the pool or camping or whatever.

    Incredible sound quality, and will be perfect for my wedding when I use it as the only soul speaker. The bass isn't as strong as most speakers, but I primarily don't use it for that. It gets incredibly loud and is overall a fantastic investment.

    Awesome speakers! I ended up buying a pair of these. Great for a party, outdoor cookout, music for parade float… great sound and volume for a battery powered speaker and even better if plugged into 120v ac. Totally worth it specially when purchased on sale.
