    pretty loud for the yard and or inside a basement. Bass not so punchy, those who want louder bass, get an 18in subwoofer.

      Hi Tung, Thank you for giving the XP700 a perfect rating! We're very happy you're enjoying the powerful sound of your new Sony XP700. To ensure optimal bass sound, please download the Sony | Music Center and adjust the built-in EQ.
      And alos, 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. Hope this helps!

    I am rating this 3 stars because when I told the associate I needed a speaker large and loud enough for outdoor parties, he recommended this model. There was no easy way to find out the wattage output when compared to the JBL or Samsung speakers in the store. It will work great for indoor parties but is clearly not loud enough for outdoor crowds of more than 50 people. I returned the item and will buy the much larger model. It was most-likely a lack of knowledge of the associate because he could not find much information on this device.
