    Good volume and quality of sound. I had trouble with one song. The song sounded fine on other speakers but sounded like karaoke on the Sony.

    If you want the highest volume you have to plug in the electric cable. Without the cable the sound is a bit low. Its still a good deal for its price. The bass is great.

      Hi JeanC, We are glad that you like the sound quality of your Sony wireless party speaker. The XP700 is made up of several speakers, including a front and rear High-efficiency Tweeter and an X-Balanced Speaker Unit, to give you an Omnidirectional Party Sound with a punchy and deep bass and plenty of clarity. It also features MEGA BASS which allows you to really dial up the bass, get a deep and punchy bass sound. 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. Make sure to turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device. Should you need further assistance, you can email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com. Thank you for your purchase. Enjoy! Vincent Sony_US
