Posted .Hi, LuisV,
Thanks for the review and the 5-stars rating! We couldn't be happier to hear how much you are enjoying your Sony Party Speaker! Keep the party going with up to 25 hours of battery life on a single charge, and USB-C quick charging gives you up to 3 hours of playback after just 10 minutes of charge time.
Thanks for choosing Sony, have a great day!

Posted .Hi Jess,
Thank you for your your time writing this review. While we are glad that you like the sound quality of your XP500 speaker, we're sorry to hear if the loudness and companion app did not live up to your expectations. Allow us to help turn this to a better experience.
The sound volume is low:
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.
Turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device.

Pretty nice portable speaker
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to use for a recent camping trip. Overall very happy with the purchase. Like some of the previous reviews the speaker does sound much better when plugged in but overall sound off battery isn’t terrible. It’s not overwhelmingly heavy so transport is pretty easy. I haven’t been able to use it long enough to kill the battery so not sure how long battery lasts.
