We're glad to hear that you find the SRS-XV500 to be a good speaker that sounds pretty nice and does the job for small spaces.
We appreciate your honest feedback that it wasn't as loud as you anticipated.

Quality speaker
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The speaker works well for what it was intended. It gives good sound and bass foe outdoor area coverage. I only gave it 4 stars because instructions stated battery was up to 25 hours and it only gave me about 10 hours on a full charge.

Great price for what you get.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound quality, i don't think the battery lasts as long as they say. I do keep bass boost off most of the time as well as the lights and i feel like it's still closer to 10-14hrs run time. But overall i like the speaker. You also have a tray that holds your phone and a way to charge it if needed. Don't think it will fit most cases though.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your feedback on the SRS-XV500 speaker, JaredH!
It's excellent to hear that you are enjoying the great sound quality and the convenience features, like the integrated phone tray and the ability to charge your device.
We do appreciate your honesty regarding the battery life. We list the maximum playtime based on specific test conditions. Since a continuous playtime of 10-14 hours is what you're observing, even with the Bass Boost and lights off, we would be happy to have our support team review your settings and usage. There might be a minor configuration or setting we can adjust to help you get closer to the advertised maximum playtime.
Please connect with our dedicated audio support team using the link below if you'd like to troubleshoot the battery performance: https://us.esupport.sony.com/support/s/support-contact?language=en_US&category=car
