    I bought this product to increase the sound volume of my Mac pro computer which has a lousy speaker. The Bluetooth works great and the sound is wonderful.

      Hi Pinpoint, Great! It's nice to hear you're satisfied with the superb performance and quality of our SRS-XB23. 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. The speaker is also waterproof and salt water resistant—so you've no worries using it by the sea or the pool—and there's no problem washing it either. Thank you so much for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

    Excellent product; great sound. Would like to see the iOS app enhanced so that it would be easier to disconnect/connect "stereo paired" from one iPhone to another. I'd imagine that's a pretty common thing in households. Use "my phone" when I'm at home and playing music or someone else's when it's "their turn" or they have the need. Again excellent product; app could use some added features.

      Hi Speaker, That's great! Thank you for the 4-star review of your SRS-XB23 speaker. We're glad you're enjoying the sound quality, especially the EXTRA BASS feature and amazing design of the unit. The XB23 is designed more around portability rather than trying to get sound all around the speaker uniformly. Because of this, the XB23 will fit in most cupholders and similarly small spaces. As a music loving company, sound quality is our top priority. 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. The speaker is also waterproof and salt water resistant—so you've no worries using it by the sea or the pool—and there's no problem washing it either.
