Posted .Hi 240ztino,
Thanks for sharing this honest review. We're happy to hear that you like the incredible audio and very good bass sound of the speaker. We also appreciate your feedback if you find the speaker doesn't get very loud while running on power from the rechargeable built-in battery. 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. Also, 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.
If the sound becomes low while in use, follow the procedure below.
1. Turn off the speaker.
2. Charge the built-in battery sufficiently
The XP500 is a speaker that's built to help fun-loving people make the most of their life. Whether you're relaxing in your living room or partying in your garden, the XP500 will give you a superb sound and plenty of fun features. All you have to do is choose the music. Thank you for sharing your feedback and for choosing Sony! -Jess

Posted .Hi Dalia,
Thank you for the 5-star rating! We're glad to hear how your XP500 speaker works perfectly with your TV. We're sorry if the sound is not as loud when using it outdoor. To play music louder, we suggest to connect the speaker to an AC outlet. 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. Try to turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device.

Lacking low/deep/heavy bass output
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great mid size portable speaker if you only want clear music. This does not have lots of low or heavy bass so I'm not satisfied with this new Sony model because if that. Note to Sony: Please design/build/program the your next model to have very good low bass and deeper like JBL did with the Partybox line.

Not loud, but great features
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you’re looking for a LOUD speaker- this isn’t it. YES it has amazing features and battery life- but I had the volume up to the MAX in my bedroom and it wasn’t loud enough for me. I personally prefer something louder, without all the extras I do t really know how to operate anyway (ex: the DJ option on the app)
