    I find the speaker is great for inside your house to play. But when you take it outside the sound quality is February low and the more. You play the less volume you get out of it also play time does not match. What's directed on the Box?

      Hi JamelH, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your SRSXP500. We're sorry to hear that the sound quality of this speaker did not meet your expectations. To ensure optimal listening experience, please make sure you have downloaded the Sony Music Center app. There you will find all sorts of tools like an equalizer to fine-tune your speaker and personalize the sound to your liking. You may also refer to these links to help you resolve the issue and improve your experience with the SRSXP500: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/speakers-wireless-speakers/srs-xp500/articles/00228345 https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xp500/v1/en/contents/TP1000243087.html


      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. Turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device. Check that the connected device is playing.

      The built-in battery life is measured using our specified music source.
      Actual performance time may vary from the listed time due to the volume, songs played, surrounding temperature, and usage conditions. Please refer to this link to check the conditions and settings required to maximize the battery life:
