Hi Lee713! Thank you so much for your insights about the Sony XV500 X-Series. We appreciate any feedback in order to improve our products, as always Sony tries to deliver a good experience by listening to our customers. Regarding the outdoor use, this unit is designed for that purpose. It falls under the category of wireless speakers and supports functions such as Party Connect, which makes it suitable for outdoor parties and events. If the sound is low than you expected you can try to update the Sony | Home Entertainment Connect / Sony | BRAVIA Connect app to the latest version, and also make sure that the speaker and the source device are not connected via Low Energy (LE) mode. If connected via LE mode, the Bluetooth connection may fail, or the sound may not output from the speaker even after the device is paired. To confirm the connection status, check the device name on the Bluetooth® setting on the source device. If the connected device name is displayed with LE_ (for example LE_HT-AX7), pair and connect with the device name without LE_ (for example HT-AX7). Check this link for more steps: https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/articles/00080926?utm_source=glean. We hope you find this information helpful.
Best regards, - Ismael

Thank you for sharing your feedback, BhushanC!
We are pleased to hear that you consider the SRS-XV500 a great product indoors. It's designed to deliver powerful and clear sound, so it's rewarding to know you are enjoying the core performance.
We also appreciate your specific comment regarding the volume when playing outside. We understand that in an open outdoor environment, sound can dissipate more quickly, making it seem lower.
For maximum outdoor performance, we recommend checking these two things:
Make sure the Mega Bass button is activated. This setting is specifically designed to boost the low-end frequencies, which are often the first to be lost in an open outdoor space, helping the sound feel fuller and more powerful.
The XV500 can be slightly louder and more powerful when plugged into an AC outlet compared to running on its internal battery. If possible, try using it plugged in for your outdoor party to see if this improves the volume level for you.
We truly value this specific feedback, as it helps us understand real-world use cases for our portable party speakers.
Thank you again for choosing Sony!
Best regards, Gus, Sony Social Media Team

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

This speaker has excellent sound, but I found it was too large for what I wanted. Not really easy to be relocated due to weight. It really depends on what your needs are for the speaker.
