Its portability and loud volume are also frequently praised, making it ideal for parties and outdoor use. While some find it a bit heavy, the water resistance and attractive design are generally well-received. A few users mentioned that the price point could be improved and the app requires some enhancements.

      Hi Oscar,

      Thank you for the purchase! We're glad to hear that you like the sound quality and lights of the speaker.

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.

    Good speaker although not quite as loud as I'd hoped. But battery time is long lasting, fun to sing on to.
