Very strange
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Has a great sound and is not complicated to use but, it does not get crazy loud and, the sound of the music actually changes a little when you plug in a microphone which I find very strange.

Posted .Hi Jmac, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your SRS-XP500. We're glad you're enjoying the great sound quality and ease of use of your new Sony speaker. Please note: 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.
And we're sorry to hear that the music changes a bit when you plugged in a microphone. Let's try to isolate and resolve this issue by following the troubleshooting steps on the link below:

Great large speaker.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great speaker. Nice balance of sound. Be warned, even though it's the smaller one it's still bog and still heavy... but very nice. The lighting isn't as cheesy as the older models which is nice. Lots of connections on the back for different devices. Wish it had sound over wifi or airplay. Otherwise, great speaker. Will be great for tailgates and other outdoor activities.
