Good speaker
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great speakers. I purchased 4 for my gym to connect to each other. They did get static after a while with all of them connected in a 2400 sq foot space. But as an individual speaker, it works well. I still like the jbl speakers best

Posted .That's great, Carolyn! Thank you for the 5-star rating and for purchasing multiple XB23 EXTRA BASS™ Portable BLUETOOTH® Speakers. We're extremely pleased to hear you like the Party Connect feature and overall amazing sound quality of the unit. It's unfortunate to know noise occurs or static is heard when they are connected together via the Party Connect function. It's also good to note the average distance for the Party Connect feature is about 9 feet. However, this distance can vary with the amount of interference in your location.

Buy different colors if pairing.
