    I absolutely love the quality of this Sony speaker. I sent back my karaoke machine to Amazon that I purchased. There was no comparison.. Also I only wished that this speaker had a microphone with it. It would make it easier for karaoke.. This one is a winner especially for outdoor use . The quality and indoors of this machine Is a cut above the rest. It's not so simple to take from one place to the other because it doesn't have wheels. But I'm 5' 4" and I could still handle this to put in my trunk.

    All I can say is, wow, the audio on this speaker is outstanding. Great for large venues or backyard use. I purchased two units for work, connected with "party connect" and could play audio wirelessly on multiple speakers from my phone. Everyone in my office was highly impressed and I have a feeling Sony may have a few more customers lining up to purchase.

      Hi SamuelS, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback about your SRSXP500. We're glad you like the great sound and bass quality of this speaker. Please note: The volume will become low when 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.
