Excellent sound
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Incredible sound! I actually prefer the sound to the 2 speaker 1 sub woofer set that I used with my laptop. Used being the operative word, I dont bother plugging into that system anymore. Good battery life too.

Good Speaker
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent speaker for $100, good for $80, and an absolute steal at $60. The Bluetooth connectivity is super simple and has good range. Party mode and stereo mode are also great additions. Can get very loud but tends to sound distorted at Max volume. Definitely loud enough for a big kitchen or garage gym though.

Cool, Waterproofness !
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony XB-20 has better higher sound level and sound quality than the XB-23, but the XB-23 has a better case design and it is waterproof !

Impressive sound with 2
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ordered a pair of expensive Sonos and cancelled since these rechargeable Sony speakers sound as great with portability convenience. Batts last at least a day. Others need plugging in the walls for power.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is a very good speaker to use and it is the size of a water bottle. It can get pretty loud and the battery last pretty good. The one thing i dont like is the material on the outside, it likes to catch a lot of different things with the mesh.
