    Solid price for the product. Not as much bass as other brands, but it helps sound clearer outdoors.

      Hi James, we're glad you are enjoying our product. The SRS-XB23 speaker features EXTRA BASS for a deep, punchy sound and with a battery that can last up to 12 hours. The newly developed X-Balanced Speaker Unit in the XB23 achieves high sound quality and powerful sound pressure for a richer, deeper, more rewarding listening experience. The speaker is also waterproof and salt water resistant—so you've no worries using it by the sea or the pool—and there's no problem washing it either. Thank you for choosing SONY. ~Earl Sony_US

      Hi Raymond, Great! Thank you for the awesome feedback! We're truly pleased to hear you're enjoying the excellent audio quality this speaker delivers. Depending on the music, the EXTRA BASS effects may not be so noticeable. You can enjoy 2 different sound effects. To switch the sound effect from STAMINA mode to EXTRA BASS mode, press and hold the BATT (battery)/STAMINA button for about 3 seconds. The STAMINA indicator will turn off and the sound effect will be switched back to EXTRA BASS mode. The newly developed X-Balanced Speaker Unit in the XB23 achieves high sound quality and powerful sound pressure for a richer, deeper, more rewarding listening experience. The speaker is also waterproof and saltwater resistant—so you've no worries using it by the sea or the pool—and there's no problem washing it either. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US
