    It’s great. My only minor gripe is that it’s only truly loud when plugged into a wall socket.

      Hi THalo, Thank you for purchasing the Sony SRSXP500! We appreciate your feedback. 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. I'd also recommend downloading the Sony Music Center app, you will find all sorts of tools to fine-tune the speaker using the built-in EQ and maximize the volume to ensure optimal listening experience.
