Its portability and loud volume are also frequently praised, making it ideal for parties and outdoor use. While some find it a bit heavy, the water resistance and attractive design are generally well-received. A few users mentioned that the price point could be improved and the app requires some enhancements.

      Hi iTruceFret,

      We regret to hear about what happened to your previous speaker. You made the right choice in upgrading to the Sony XP500. Your feedback about the volume is also appreciated. The overall volume may vary depending on the source content. The maximum sound volume for playing music also 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. Make sure to also turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device.

      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. For optimum performance, charge the built-in battery sufficiently.

      To get the most out of this speaker, you can use the sound quality setting and equalizer adjustment of the Sony Music Center app to tailor-fit the sound quality to your needs. Please refer to this link:

      https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xp500/v1/en/contents/TP1000243093.html

      Additionally, you can use the Stereo Pair function and Party Connect function to enjoy a more power sound. For more information, please refer to these links:

      https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xp500/v1/en/contents/TP1000243088.html

    Another GREAT Sony speaker! I will always recommend Sony for any audio product. This one did not disappoint! An updated version of earlier large speakers, they hit all of the missing pieces of the last one. This speaker has a battery! It's truly portable unlike previous models. It holds about a 20 hour charge. I prefer not to use the lights so I was able to get the 20 hours out of it. It also says its waterproof but I did not test that It was fairly easy to connect my phone to this speaker. You can connect via Bluetooth or by a USB cable. The speaker works with the Music Center app to control lighting and sound. I'm a plain jane when it comes to the lighting. I prefer to keep it off but there is a very wide variety of lighting options available for this speaker. There are hookups in the back to use the speaker as a guitar amp or for karaoke but I did not test these features. The sound quality blows me away though. Such a great full bodied sound, it's just what I had expected from Sony. Sony products have unbelievable bass which is why I keep going back to them. If you want a great, well rounded, large portable speaker... this is it!
