Nice sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Packs a great punch for how tiny it is. Don't rely on this as a big speaker. Just enough for a day at the beach or for getting ready in the morning.

So far so good!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far I really enjoy these speakers! I ordered two different colors. My only downfall so far is I feel like the batteries die much quicker when multiple speakers are paired. But using them solo they seem to last much longer

One Of The Best In Its Class
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I first received the product in the mail and opened it, I was a bit apprehensive. I believe a lot can be said by how much attention is paid to packaging by the manufacturer. Unfortunately, Sony paid little mind to this issue, so the first impression I got was "cheap". As I unwrapped everything, I was once again faced with a bit of apprehension as the speaker itself is quite light, and just doesn't feel "substantial". As I looked it over, however, I began to notice that what they may have lacked in the packaging department, they were more than making up for in the construction department. From top to bottom, the Sony SRS XB23 exhibits a design that is intuitive, well laid out, and very well constructed. The controls are down the side of the speaker and are clearly visible while at the same time maintaining a perfect sense of aesthetic pleasantness. The speaker came with over 50% charge, so it was ready to use right out of the box. I have two iPhones, and it paired effortlessly with both of them. I was also able to easily pair it with both my Amazon Echo products.. But the real test, the sound... After pairing it with my phone, I began to pick out different types of music to listen to on the Sony. I have to be honest, I was blown away by the sound!! The highs and lows were clear, crisp, and did not distort at even the highest volume. The extra bass feature really added to the experience. There is an app you can download that I strongly recommend you get, the Sony Music Center (SongPal). It allows you to control the speaker from your phone. This way you can easily activate the stereo or mono mode. It is designed to revert back to mono if the unit is standing up. It's a great little app. I was ecstatic about it being dust and water-proof. I'm not one to tempt fate, but I decided I had to know for sure it really was waterproof. I wasn't worried about ruining it because I knew the warranty would have to be honored, lol. I put it under the sprinkler for over five minutes. I gave it a good shake to get rid of all the excess water, and then turned it on. To my pleasant astonishment, the speaker worked perfectly. And in a relatively short time, it was completely dry. This feature alone makes the Sony XB23 worth the cost. Back to the sound. Although it would be unfair to try and compare this speaker with some of the higher-end speakers on the market, I believe this speaker outdoes every other speaker in its particular class. You can't ask for better sound, and the volume range is much greater than you would expect. If I had ten of these and linked them together, the neighbors would be calling the cops because of the noise! Yes! You can link these speakers with other Sony XB23s, and place each speaker strategically to offer up a great sound at your next party or get together. This is a speaker I plan on using a lot, especially in the more "hostile" environments. This is a must have for anyone who wants a great outdoor speaker!
