Posted .Hi KameranP,
We're glad to hear you think the ULT FIELD 1 is a great product! We appreciate the feedback on the volume; for maximum loudness, always ensure your source device is at full volume, and note that the speaker's loudest output is generally achieved when it is plugged directly into a wall outlet rather than running solely on battery power.
Thanks for choosing Sony.
Best regards, Eliab

More than just a party speaker...
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This beast is awesome! The Sony SRS-XV500 can be used in so many ways — I know the main push from Sony is that this is a party speaker…and it is. But that’s not what impresses me so much about this setup. For me, it’s the portability of a well-built unit that provides exceptional sound when using it as an outdoor p/a system — for mic and guitar. With the added benefit of having a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that boasts a 25 hour capacity, the XV500 fits the bill. This will work perfectly for our upcoming outdoor Easter sunrise service. It also has an IPX4 rating, so it can withstand a little moisture — just no downpours. Personally, if it starts to rain, I’m grabbing this and heading indoors. Just a head’s up that the inputs are both 1/4 inch. The only additional item I had to invest in (for my mic) was a female XLR to 1/4 inch cable. If you already have a karaoke mic, you’re probably set, as I’m pretty sure those tend to have a 1/4 inch instrument-style plug standard. The Bluetooth connection was effortless with my android phone. With my phone connected, my son did the same. We were both able to stream tunes, just not at the same time. Whoever hit ‘play’ last was in control. Not sure that this would benefit anyone, but there you go. Sound reproduction is very good no matter the style of music. There is a good sturdy handle to lug this speaker around with. It comes in at just under 25 lbs., so you’re not going to take it on any long hikes…at least I’m not. For party time, you can engage the lighting system (or not) and control sound reproduction with a 3-channel EQ through Sony’s Music Center app. If you have additional Sony wireless speakers, you can also pair them with the XV500. The app literally controls everything except for powering the speaker on. That you have to do with a gentle touch of the power button on top. Again — quality, sturdy build, excellent battery life, one unit for mic and guitar, portability — perfect. Good job, Sony. This one’s a keeper.

Posted .Hi, ARODDPT,
Thanks for the review and the 5-stars rating! It is truly wonderful to hear how much you are enjoying your Sony Portable Party Speaker! Our X-Balance Speaker Unit features an almost rectangular diaphragm, for an increased surface area compared to conventional speaker units. The 140 mm x 140 mm larger woofer unit gives clear and deep bass sound.
Thanks for choosing Sony, have an amazing day!

Expensive garbage
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I expected it to sound really loud, but what a piece of junk, don't buy it, it's very quiet. I've tried it with everything and it's just big and gets in the way. I missed the return window because it was a Christmas present and I bought it way in advance, so now I'm stuck with something that just wastes electricity.

Posted .Hi Centella,
Thank you for your feedback regarding the SRS-XV500. We would like to provide some technical information regarding the volume levels you are experiencing.
Please note that a decrease in volume can occur automatically to protect the internal components; this is a protective feature and not a malfunction. This typically happens in the following cases:
Low Battery: The built-in battery is running low and the CHARGE indicator is flashing slowly.
High Temperature: The ambient temperature of the speaker has reached a high level.
To restore the volume level, please turn off the speaker and allow the built-in battery to charge sufficiently.
Additionally, we recommend reviewing these suggestions for optimizing the sound level:
https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/7855/v1/en/contents/TP1001275077.html
If the volume remains lower than expected after a full charge, please contact our technical support team for further assistance here: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=ht
Thank you for considering Sony!
