Underrated
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Incredible sound quality, and will be perfect for my wedding when I use it as the only soul speaker. The bass isn't as strong as most speakers, but I primarily don't use it for that. It gets incredibly loud and is overall a fantastic investment.

Posted .Hi Dalia,
Thank you for the 5-star rating! We're glad to hear how your XP500 speaker works perfectly with your TV. We're sorry if the sound is not as loud when using it outdoor. To play music louder, we suggest to connect the speaker to an AC outlet. 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. Try to turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device.

Great Bluetooth Speakers!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome speakers! I ended up buying a pair of these. Great for a party, outdoor cookout, music for parade float… great sound and volume for a battery powered speaker and even better if plugged into 120v ac. Totally worth it specially when purchased on sale.

Sony Sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.sound is amazing. love the lights. If I could make a change it is a little heavy to pack around. It would be nice if it came with a travel case. With all that said I would buy it again and I would recommend this product for someone looking for sound while you are at the pool or camping or whatever.

Better sound that XP500
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound ok, better than the XP500, XP700 has more power, we keep the XP500 for the easy size to take with us, the XP700 wish have wheels, (not fan to lift 38 pounds). Also the app is not that easy to connect in party mode, not sure if I'm not doing something right, but take some time to make them pair together.
