I would recommend this to a friendSolid little speaker and good sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We decided to try this speaker to replace big tall wired speakers that just no longer worked. We have a 1987 stereo system that is still going strong and wanted a solution to be able to play our music. This speaker works very well. It delivers really good sound quality--even better than our old wired speakers ever did. It seems to hold a charge well although we plan to get an adaptor to plug into it so that it will have an electrical connection.

A great speaker w/ great price w/ upgrade options!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Im super pleased with these speakers. They offer a very "large" sound for a small package and can also get very loud without having a blown out sound. They've got extremely excellent range too. They'll do anywhere in my house or yard without loosing on dropping signal. The best feature is theres a mode to sink these are left and right speakers for a rear setup. I honestly they these things sound better than Sonys next step up.

Muddy Sound and No Aux
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's an okay bluetooth speaker. My complaints with it are two things: 1. Muddy sound. Probably good if you like rap and don't care about having a speaker with decent high-end audio. 2. No aux port. This really is a killer and limits you from being able to use it on your PC unless you want to connect via laggy bluetooth. Would love to use it as a gaming speaker on my PC but can't

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I sent this as a Christmas present to my father in law, and literally the next week I came over to visit the family, he was jamming out to the speaker non stop until the battery dies and after an hour it would be up and running again, bass if very good for the small speaker itself an battery life and durability when accidentally dropped from a counter of average size-my bad Dan- it still works and with a small dent very worth it.

Posted .Hi KathyK,
We're glad you like the overall performance of your SRSXB23. Good to know your investment is worth it. Depending on the music, the EXTRA BASS effects may not be so noticeable. To get the sound that you prefer, we recommend to try the different sound modes found in the Sony Music Center app. There is even an EQ in there—which can be customized to fine-tune your music to your liking.

Sony SRS-XB23 speaker review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great sounding portable, blue tooth speaker that is waterproof. I have had several Bose portable speakers that have not sounded any better and without the versatility of being capable of heading to wet, sandy, or dusty locations. Even better, it was half the price of my last Bose speaker and it's more versatile, as stated. It works great when I'm not listening to my MX3 Sony headphones.
