Posted .Hi MichaeljW,
We're happy that you like the overall sound quality and it works great at the pool. We're sorry if you find the speaker doesn't get very loud. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. 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. Also, 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.
If the sound becomes low while in use, follow the procedure below.
1. Turn off the speaker.
2. Charge the built-in battery sufficiently
The XP500 is a speaker that's built to help fun-loving people make the most of their life. Whether you're relaxing in your living room or partying in your garden, the XP500 will give you a superb sound and plenty of fun features. All you have to do is choose the music. Thank you for sharing your feedback and for choosing Sony! -Jess

Posted .Hi, LuisV,
Thanks for the review and the 5-stars rating! We couldn't be happier to hear how much you are enjoying your Sony Party Speaker! Keep the party going with up to 25 hours of battery life on a single charge, and USB-C quick charging gives you up to 3 hours of playback after just 10 minutes of charge time.
Thanks for choosing Sony, have a great day!
