Fun speaker, not for that much money.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Aesthetically I loved it, base was great however the Bluetooth connection would hiccup a lot & the volume seemed quite and odd. The speaker would only hit max volume when the volume was set just below max on the device. It was also a little annoying having two apps to control all of the features of this speaker. Fun and cool speaker but I didn’t love it, at least not for the price

Posted .Hi Diabla27,
Thank you for your time writing this review. We're glad you like the XP500 wireless speaker. 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.
Turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device.
Check that the connected device is playing.
For reference: https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xp500/v1/en/contents/TP1000543551.html

Excellent quality sound from this speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We used this speaker during Christmas in our living room 20’ x 30’ with 24’ tall ceilings and it filled the house with clear amazing sound. It is exceptional!!! However, it doesn’t have the right look for this room, it has a fun party vibe and so we now use in our game room/basement. The search for something a little more stylish continues…

Sounds amazing
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for an outdoor speaker that could deliver a surreal sound quality. The XP700 surpassed my expectations. The sound is excellent for all music genres and the battery life is great as well. You will not be disappointed with this purchase. The only issue for me is at this price point I would expect it to come with some accessories such as a mic, note the 4 stars.
