Its portability and loud volume are also frequently praised, making it ideal for parties and outdoor use. While some find it a bit heavy, the water resistance and attractive design are generally well-received.

    This speaker replaced 2 Sony XB7s that I got from Best Buy. It not only sounds great, but resolves a bluetooth issue I had with the previous speakers. The bluetooth would cut off while I had my Apple Watch 7 paired to my Iphone. This is no longer an issue and have had my watch paired with this speaker to my iphone ever since. Well done!

    I really like this SONY speaker. It is not earth shattering loud but it is loud enough and very clear sound compared to other Bluetooth speakers that maybe went a tad louder but the sound would be distorted the louder it goes. The only other thing is I think it could be just a little cheaper in price but again everything is more expensive these days.

      Hi John, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your SRSXP500.

      To play music louder, connect the speaker to an AC outlet. And to ensure optimal listening experience, please make sure you have downloaded the Sony Music Center app. There you will find all sorts of tools like an equalizer to fine-tune your speaker and maximize the volume to your liking. You may also refer to these links to help you resolve the issue and improve your experience with the SRSXP500: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/speakers-wireless-speakers/srs-xp500/articles/00228345 https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xp500/v1/en/contents/TP1000243087.html 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. Hope this helps!

    My husband and I bought this for our wedding, which was a small, backyard, family affair. It worked great for what we needed without breaking the bank. We loved that it had a microphone hook-up for people to sing karaoke and give speeches. Plus, it has a "mega bass" feature for those who like it bumpin'!

    I wanted a JBL310 but it was not in stock at the store. I bought this which was available, and am pleased. A little cumbersome to move around, and of course not exactly 'cheap'; however, the sound met my expectations and connecting to my phone took 2 seconds. The kids love the mic/karaoke option it offers.
