    Great sound and application. I bought two of these on sale to be able to pair them for outdoor use. The pairing was supper easy and sound quality was great. The app lets you play with the treble, mids and bass if you want to customize your sound.

      Hi Api06,

      Thank you for the purchase and we're glad to hear that you love the 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.
