    Go ahead and invest the difference for the higher model. Quality of the sound was good but not loud enough for outdoors.

      Hi JaimeR, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your SRSXP500. While we're glad you like the sound quality, we regret to hear that the volume level did not live up your expectations. Please note: 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. And to ensure optimal listening experience, please download the Sony Music Center app. There you will find all sorts of tools like an equalizer to fine-tune your speaker and personalize the sound to your liking. 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 a 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.

    This speaker is okay. We love it. It could be a little louder as if we are covering large grounds, it tends to fade. The range for Bluetooth isn't that well. If you are paired to the Bluetooth, you can't go inside with your phone while the speaker is outside as it will disconnect. The sound is good as it should be for the price and product.
