Posted .Hi JesusSilva, Thank you for sharing your feedback on your Sony XP500 speaker! We're glad you like the great sound quality of the unit. We have noted your input about the volume level when running on battery and will be sure to forward this feedback to the appropriate department. 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. Hope this helps!

Excellent wireless speaker for music lovers
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Exceeds my expectations on sound and portability. I wanted something at home to enjoy inside or on the lanai. Will buy a second to pair and enjoy stereo synced sound. Without mega bass bass quality is great.
