    I bought this because I wanted something that could fill a large room. I was not disappointed. It has room filling sound and is even enough for small outdoor pavilions. The SRS XP700 even has sonys party pairing feature. You could have an ensamble of compatible speakers or you could combine XP700s for a large outdoor events.

      Hi MichaeljW,

      We're happy that you like the overall sound quality and it works great at the pool. We're sorry if you find the speaker doesn't get very loud. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. 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. Also, while the speaker is running on power from the rechargeable built-in battery, the sound may become low in the event that the rechargeable built-in battery is running out of power and the CHARGE indicator flashes slowly.

      If the sound becomes low while in use, follow the procedure below.
      1. Turn off the speaker.
      2. Charge the built-in battery sufficiently

      The XP500 is a speaker that's built to help fun-loving people make the most of their life. Whether you're relaxing in your living room or partying in your garden, the XP500 will give you a superb sound and plenty of fun features. All you have to do is choose the music.
