Sweet Sony Speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome little speaker, just don't lose the charging port cover or it distorts the sound. It pairs easily and can pair with multiple devices, but not at once of course. The sound quality is still going strong at the time of writing this review.

Good at cutting up audio...
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had previously purchased the XB10 and really enjoyed it. Sounds good, volume buttons, play/pause and a button to connect another XB10. I figured that since it's been a while, I would upgrade to the next available model. Especially since the XB10 was no longer available. Unfortunately, it wasn't a best buy. For as long as I've had it, along with a second one I purchase to pair them up, they cut in and out constantly. Doesn't matter where I position them. Doesn't matter if they are the only things connected to my phone with nothing else around. It is just a constant cutting of and audio from them. It gets worse when I decide to use my phone for well, anything at all. Starts to sound like the audio is skipping. I've looked up ways to fix this but nothing on the Sony website worked or was even a feature as they had listed. My search was fruitless. The lack of an auxilary port is terrible idea as well. Only bluetooth. How terrible. Experiencing this, I would have to say that my XB10 is an absolute 5* speaker. Still works, has the audio jack, connects to bluetooth with absolutely no issues. Doesn't matter where it is placed or what is around it. Sounds good, no skipping or cutting and it's string with the rubber bit works as a stand so you can direct it towards yourself instead of just sitting upright. I don't think I'll be buying any new Sony speakers from here on. Sadness.

Good sound, awkward shape
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is good, it's compact, but the odd shape makes it wobble often. Why can't the bottom just be flat? Battery life is good. Connects easily to your bluetooth/wi-fi.
