      Hi George,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the SRSXP500. We're glad that you are enjoying the sound quality of the speaker.

      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. For optimum performance while using the built-in battery, charge the speaker sufficiently.

      The XP500 combines superb sound with plenty of party features to make it a fun and versatile speaker. With Powerful Party Sound by the X-Balanced Speaker Unit and the front high-efficiency tweeter, it sends out rich, clear, and high-quality sound. It is perfect for parties, inside or outside the home, has plenty of battery life, is IPX4 Water-resistant, and has an easy-to-use handle for moving from one party to the next. Thank you for choosing Sony!

    I love this thing. So much so I bought another one. One for my bedroom and one for the rest of the house. It’s a bit big to carry around everywhere, all the time. But for parties and outside activity the size is just fine for moving. I just would not want to tote it around everyday. But the sound it great. I love it. Good highs and lows. It’s like listening to some songs for the first time I may buy a third for the basement. This sound like I am a Sony shrill but I’m not. I buy what I like and what works for me. This hits all my check boxes
