Music to go
||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.

"Powerful Sound and Stylish Design: The Sony SRS-X
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently picked up the Sony SRS-XB23 Portable Bluetooth Speaker in Light Blue, and it has quickly become a favorite in my collection. This speaker impresses on multiple fronts, combining exceptional sound quality with a sleek and stylish design. First and foremost, the audio performance of the SRS-XB23 is outstanding.

Whether I'm hosting a backyard BBQ or enjoying a quiet evening at home, the sound quality remains consistent and impressive. The Light Blue color is not only visually appealing but also adds a touch of elegance and fun to any setting. The vibrant hue complements its modern design, making it a standout piece whether it's on the shelf or outdoors. Durability is another major highlight of this speaker. It’s built to be waterproof and dustproof with an IP67 rating, so it can handle outdoor adventures and accidental spills without missing a beat. The rugged design, combined with the long battery life, makes it perfect for extended use on the go. The speaker’s portability is a significant advantage. It’s compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry around. The built-in handle is a thoughtful addition, allowing for convenient transport whether I’m heading to the beach or just moving it from room to room. Bluetooth connectivity is seamless, with a strong and stable connection that pairs quickly with my devices. The speaker also includes convenient features like a speakerphone function for hands-free calls and Party Connect, which allows me to sync multiple Sony speakers for a bigger sound experience.

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.
