Posted .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.
