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 RichT,
      Thank you for your time writing this review! We're glad you like the great sound quality and lighting function of your SRS-XP500 speaker. We've taken note of your feedback with regard to the volume level of the unit. For optimum performance, ensure that the software of the speaker is updated as it includes key features, applications, bug fixes, and feature improvements.

      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. If the sound is low, please try some steps below:
      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.
      For reference:
      https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xp500/v1/en/contents/TP1000543551.html

      Hi Jennybunny,

      We are very glad to hear that the Sony XP700 was such a hit as a gift!

      It's excellent to know that your teen is enjoying the great sound quality. While it certainly packs a powerful punch (which accounts for the weight!), we designed it to still be portable enough to move the party wherever it needs to go. Thank you for choosing Sony!

      Regards,
