      Hi Nonickname19, Thank you so much for the fantastic review & we are so happy to hear that your investment is worth it. 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 the 5-stars review & feedback and for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

    Solid product overall... Bad: not as loud as JBL flip....also not as sturdy or hardy. Good: very sleek and aesthetically pleasing Overall: a more fancy, less practical version of the JBL flip.

    It is not going to challenge Bose, but it has decent bass and good midrange for less than $100. I bought it to play low volume XM in the bedroom, and it is perfect for that. Pretty decent at higher volumes as well.

    I like the size of this for sitting in your cup holder of a chair while camping our sitting out with friends. It has great sound for the size and more than enough battery life. The IP67 rating means that if it rains or near the beach/pool i am safe which is a big deal as I use it most there. Another great speaker that offers more uses compared to the larger Sony speakers that have better sound but you end up leaving them on the ground or they are more cumbersome to carry. This is small and easily moved. The Green color is cool.

      Hi Tony,

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!
