Good sound and quality for the price
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great. One star held back because of the top volume is a little light compared to the size of the unit. The sound quality is on par with Sony products.

Posted .Hi cNme, Thank you for the positive review! We're glad to hear that it works great and good to know you appreciate the great sound quality of your SRSXP500. We're sorry to hear that the volume level did not live up to your expectations. 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. The XP500 combines superb sound with plenty of party features to make it a fun and versatile speaker. With Powerful Party Sound by the X-Balanced Speaker Unit and the front high-efficiency tweeter, it sends out rich, clear, and high-quality sound. It is perfect for parties, inside or outside the home, has plenty of battery life, is IPX4 Water-resistant, and has an easy-to-use handle for moving from one party to the next. Thank you for choosing SONY. -Sam
