Excellent. App although updated could be better.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product; great sound. Would like to see the iOS app enhanced so that it would be easier to disconnect/connect "stereo paired" from one iPhone to another. I'd imagine that's a pretty common thing in households. Use "my phone" when I'm at home and playing music or someone else's when it's "their turn" or they have the need. Again excellent product; app could use some added features.

Good, but not great
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I initially was satisfied with this speaker, until I heard my friend's wonderboom 2. The wonderboom 2 had punchier bass, clearer mids, and clearer treble with a nicer and more portable design. I returned this speaker and picked up the wonderboom 2 and haven't looked back. I'd recommend the marshall emberton (if it's on sale) or wonderboom 2 over this speaker.

Posted .Hi EF97,
Thank you for purchasing the SRSXB23. We regret to hear that we were not able to meet your expectations with the sound quality and design of our Bluetooth speaker and unit had to be returned. This may be resolved by updating the software and control sound settings with the Sony Music Center app. We value your opinion and hope that you will shop Sony again in the future. Thanks again for shopping Sony! - Kris
