Goody Sound. Awesome Build Quality.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're searching for a Bluetooth speaker to jam out at home or outdoors, the Sony SRS-XB23 Bluetooth Speaker is a nice option worth considering. PROS - Loudness: This speaker gets pretty dang loud! I was super impressed by the volume it achieved. Perfect for filling the room at home or being able to hear from a distance outdoors. - Compact: It's about the size of two Coke cans stacked on top of each other, meaning it can easily slip into any cup holder around you. - Waterproof: If you use this near the pool or while watering the grass, don't fret about getting this speaker wet. - USB-C: As more and more products adopt USB-C, that means I can travel with just one cable to charge all my devices. This product has a USB-C port for charging, so I very much appreciate that! - Color Options: While there are various great color options for this speaker, I have the regular black version, which I like. But if you're looking for a bit more flair, then there are four additional colors to pick up. CONS - Sound Quality: Out of the box, the speaker doesn't sound to have as good bass as it advertises on the box. Thankfully that can be resolved by downloading the Sony Music Center app. RECOMMENDATION One thing I highly recommend is that you download the Sony Music Center app on your mobile device. In the app, it will automatically detect your speaker and present you with various options, including sound quality settings (equalizer), power-saving features, and more. The reason I'm mentioning this is that the speaker by default does not have enough bass to my liking right out of the box. Once you download the Music Center app, you can easily change that and boost the bass much higher. OVERALL The Sony SRS-XB23 Bluetooth Speaker is a great option for those searching for a versatile speaker that is both compact, offers great battery life, and can handle the elements.
