Satisfied
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great speaker with great sound quality! I just wish the app allowed more options when controlling the lights because there's only 3 settings to choose from, but my old xb40 speakers had like 10 different settings for the lights. Still haopy with my purchase.

High volume only when cable is plugged in.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you want the highest volume you have to plug in the electric cable. Without the cable the sound is a bit low. Its still a good deal for its price. The bass is great.

Posted .Hi cNme, Thank you for the positive review! We're glad to hear that it works great and good to know you appreciate the great sound quality of your SRSXP500. We're sorry to hear that the volume level did not live up to your expectations. 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.

Party Central
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've only ever used this as a standalone speaker, and only really use it for playing music. For parties, this thing is a must. Very powerful, very clear sound, and being able to toggle the extra bass is really nice. The lights match to music well enough and can also be turned off. The handlebars on it are also a lifesaver for how much I've had to haul this thing around the house. It's got a battery in it as well, but I've not tested it as it's been at the house the whole time. Really really love this speaker.
