    I was searching for a different more expensive speaker that was out of stock when I discovered the Sony XB23 Portable speaker. I love the Sony speaker, as it sounds good and provides decent volume. I'm going to get another as my kids borrow mine frequently. Eric S.

    Bought two of them when they went on sale to use as a stereo pair and have been loving them. Bass isn’t huge or too clear but for the price it is really not bad at all! Especially using 2 at a time as my computer speakers I’ve come to really enjoy them.

    This is a great speaker for the bedroom. Easy to pair when you need it for my iMac sound to make the bedroom surround sound. I turn up the volume on the Mac and put the Sony either next to my bed or just behind my head. Great way to do the above. I'm happy!

    I loved the sound in store and in my home gym, but not in my large living room with cathedral ceiling. Too much space and the bass was lost and sounded empty, so I returned it. My previous purchase of the Wonder Boom will continue to be my go to for my needs for now. Replaced it with Logitech 3 piece 2.1 speaker system. Nice sale price too! I'm very happy. Perfection!

    Bought this for my mother and her Fire stick. It Paired without issues and sounds great for movies and music for and elder person. It has enough bass kick. Younger audiences may need more of a punch but works good for what its supposed to do. Just wish the buttons were a bit more contrasted from the background. Not great for older eyes.

    Love this speaker. Turning it on is a bit of a mystery at first, but one quick push of the power button and away you go. I was holding it down like a dope. User error. If you can get it on-sale I would highly recommend
