    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.

      Regards,
      Jess Sony_US

      Hi MayankV,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback on the XP700. We’re glad you’re enjoying the speaker overall, and we want to make sure you’re getting the full impact of that bass performance.

      To help you get that deep, punchy sound the XP700 is known for, we recommend trying these two steps:

      1- The MEGA BASS Button: Ensure the MEGA BASS button on the top panel of the speaker is illuminated. This activates our specialized low-frequency enhancement specifically designed for this model.

      2- Sony | Music Center App: We highly recommend downloading the Sony | Music Center app on your smartphone. Within the app, you can access Sound Settings and use the Custom Equalizer. By adjusting the low-frequency sliders, you can fine-tune the bass response to your exact preference and environment.

      We hope these steps help you get the most out of your XP700, and thank you for considering Sony!

      Regards,
      Dominick Sony_US
