Leave a lot to be desired.
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good battery life and nice that the stereo sound widens when you lay it horizontally but the bass sound is very hollow and if you like modern music like dance, hip hop, pop, and R and B I would not recommend this speaker at all.

Very powerful bluetooth speaker
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is not your average little bluetooth speaker. But works the same way. This unit stands tall at just over 2 feet. (26.38" inches). Connecting to the unit was very easy. On my iphone just opening settings,then bluetooth and found it fast. But you will want to download the app to play with the lights,power the unit off, and may other useful features. This speaker gets LOUD!!! Great for large events,picnics, parties and here in New Orleans walking parades. Just strap it to a wagon and now you have a party on wheels. I have been having so much fun with this unit I can't wait to get another one to "party chain" aka link them together. I have been very please with the battery life. And have not ran out of juice at any event yet. Of course starting with a fully charged battery every time. And you can keep an eye on the battery level in side the Music Center app. Turning off the lights will keep the party going longer. Oh ya it has sweet color changing lights and strobe lights too. The unit it self feels very well built with a mesh metal grill protecting the speakers. It can be used vertically or horizontal. I would highly recommend this to a friend or family.

Not your average bluetooth speaker
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is not your average bluetooth speaker that you take with you on a tropical beach vacation. This speaker stands tall at just over two feet and weights in at 30 pounds. It is great for tailgating, backyard cook outs and large events. The built-in battery lets you take your music anywhere you wish. And with out the need for a power cord. Connecting to the speaker is easy via bluetooth from any smartphone or tablet. Then simply pick your favorite music app and you are up and running. Downloading the music center & fiestable app gives you the ability to customize the unit. From playing with the lights,changing the song or just powering the unit off. And with "party chain" you can connect up to 10 compatible speakers, synchronizing the music and lights. Over all it has good sound and as advertised extra bass. This unit gets loud.

Great and Big Sound. Tailgate/BBQ/Karaoke Dream.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wasn’t really sure what to expect with this Sony speaker, but after some time spent with it, I can say I am pleased. This is not your typical little blue tooth speaker. At all. It is big. It is loud. Did I mention it is big and loud? Coming in at around the 30lb mark, it absolutely is a substantial piece of speaker hardware. It is also right around 2 feet tall and 1 foot wide. Big. Substantial. Alllll of that said, I think it is just about right and a good weight to be solid when in place and not too heavy to hinder portability. It has a good, well-built feel and solid construction. There are rubber feet on two sides so that the speaker can be orientated in either horizontal or vertical alignments. A nice feature. Although its size is unlike most blue tooth speakers out there, connecting your source will be familiar for nearly all. You can connect via USB, AUX IN or, as I suspect most will, via blue tooth. It is a typical experience here, turn it on and pair with your phone. I had no issues. To get the most out of the speaker, feature-wise, you will want to download two Sony apps, Music Center and Fiestable. Through these apps, you can delve deeper into set-up, use equalizers, change the LEDs on the speakers (yes, there are lights, and there are effects), run playlists, play a multitude of sound effects (reggae horn!), as well as a host of other DJ controls and other things. That said, while functional, and fun, the apps struggle a bit, and it hurts the overall experience. So, after all of that, what about the sound? Well, the sound is good. I found it to have clear, clean, and crisp sound that filled my space with little distortion until hitting the highest volumes. The bass was solid, giving some boom, and there was a nice overall quality bump when using the “extra bass” option, although I would have liked to see a little more bass. Overall, though, I liked the clarity and the throw. Good sound with enough punch and volume to meet my needs. Beyond what I have already said, there are a few other notable positives about the speaker. Although I mostly have used AC, the battery has performed well, and I really like the auto shut off feature and stamina mode which will give you more battery time in a pinch (sound quality does degrade). I also love having the ability to link several units together (I am still waiting to do this). The microphone jack has made for some fun (and regrettable) times. Lastly, given the portable nature of this speaker, and its size, the built-in handle was a really nice touch….and gives it that boom box feel. Ultimately, whether hosting a party (inside or out), breaking it down for karaoke night, chilling at an outdoor BBQ or blowing it out at a stadium tailgate, I think this speaker will meet nearly everyone’s needs. The sound is good and loud, the size is right and there is just enough fun thrown in to make it work!

Had trouble connecting

Very good for music, but not for movies
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product is excellent for music. App works great. This speaker is excellent for parties. You can turn off the flashing lights. I thought this would work great for an outside projector, but the dialogue was not clear. It sounded very muffled.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi JGee,
We are so glad you are pleased with the performance of your XB90!
While the XB90 is designed more for music, it should perform well from any audio input, as the same processing is happening in the speaker. So, things like a record player, or CD player hooked up through RCA should play great.
Now depending on your source (DVD/BR-DVD/Streaming device) the output may not be in 2 channel, the optimal setting for a music player. Try changing the audio settings in each device connected to find the sound your looking for.
That being said, we would also recommend using the Sony Music Center app and Fiestable plug in to fine tune your speaker as much as possible. There is even an EQ built in.
We hope this helps,
David

Too bass heavy for my taste
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent speaker. Very bass heavy which makes the vocals sound muffled, and covers up the mids and the highs. If you only listen to bass heavy music this speaker is for you.
