    It is OK. Not as clear and loud as my Big Blue Party speaker which is also lighter and more compact. Not super satisfied with this speaker. Does the job but disappointed. I should have researched better and gotten something more agile and bold sounding. It is large and heavy with middling performance.

      Hi Originalmike,

      We are sorry to hear that you are not super satisfied with your portable Bluetooth speaker. If the sound is not clear and loud , please try to turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device. You can also pair the speaker and the BLUETOOTH device again. If the device that is connected to the AUDIO IN jack is monaural, sound may only be output from the left speaker component (left channel). If the connected device has an equalizer function, set it to off to isolate the issue. You can also follow other suggestions here to further isolate the issue: https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xp500/v1/en/contents/TP1000543552.html.

      We take all user input seriously and will make sure your comments reach the appropriate person. Should you need further assistance, you can email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:
