    The speaker boasts exceptional sound quality, delivering rich and immersive audio. However, its lack of portability hinders its practicality. The absence of chassis wheels makes it challenging to move around, limiting its usage to stationary setups. Despite this drawback, its impressive sound performance makes it a worthwhile investment for those seeking exceptional audio experiences in a fixed location.

      Hi HDhillon, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your SRSXP500. While we're glad you like the great sound quality of this speaker, we regret to hear that the volume output doesn't get louder when you're turning up the volume above 50%, and it had to be returned. Please note: The maximum power output will be lower when the built-in battery is running low. And 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. If the sound becomes low while in use, follow the procedure below.
      Turn off the speaker.
      Charge the built-in battery sufficiently.

      At Sony, we are always looking to improve our product quality and features, and your feedback is valuable to us. If you have further questions or concerns about your Sony speaker, feel free to contact our product support team through this link: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/service?language=en_US.
