    Speaker has great volume when plugged in and recently charged but if using primarily on battery you will notice a difference in volume and bass.

      Hi ElvisH, thanks for choosing and purchasing our product. We're sorry to hear that you have a volume issue with your Sony unit. While the speaker is running on power from the rechargeable built-in battery, the sound may become low in the event that the rechargeable built-in battery is running out of power and the CHARGE indicator flashes slowly. This, however, does not indicate a malfunction. Please follow this link for more details:

    This speaker is absolutely insane. It's much larger than I anticipated, but it thumps hard and projects sound FAR. If you like to party and need a portable speaker, this is it.
