    I bought two of these for group activities since me and my wife work with our local community every chance we get and we use these speakers all the time. They are loud for indoor use but not as loud outside.

    Its a great speaker but i don’t like that much because it doesn’t cone with a remote and it shuts down by itself if there is no music playing on the speaker which is good and bad at the same time

      Hi Hunter, Amazing! We're thrilled to hear you like the sound clarity of your new Sony SRSXP500.
