      Hi Jjclown, Thank you so much for the fantastic review & we are so happy to hear that your investment is worth it. We're glad you're enjoying the sound quality, portability, and waterproof design of the unit. The SRS-XB23 speaker features EXTRA BASS for a deep, punchy sound and with a battery that can last up to 12 hours. The newly developed X-Balanced Speaker Unit in the XB23 achieves high sound quality and powerful sound pressure for a richer, deeper, more rewarding listening experience.

To make sure you are getting the most out of your new purchase, please make sure to download the Sony Music Center App. There you will find all new ways to control the sound and performance of your speaker. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

      That's good to hear! The SRS-XB23 has undergone extensive shock testing to make sure it can withstand the inevitable knocks, bumps and scrapes that come with everyday use. Even if you drop it, the SRS-XB23 will keep on working. It also has an IP67 rating which makes the speaker dustproof, waterproof, rustproof and washable. Thank you for choosing Sony!

    I purchased this Sony bluetooth speaker SRS-XB23 as an add-on to a same one my brother gave me a month ago so I can pair them (speaker pairing feature) to make the large room fully stereo sound, the wireless range up to 98.4 feet. I loved this speaker, good look and feel, it is super loud and the sound is so awesome, it has a built-in microphone and a USB type C port and a USB cable to charge the battery! I would recommend this speaker to my friends, family, and co-workers.
