Posted .Hi Niagra01,
Thank you for the positive feedback. The SRS-XB23 has undergone extensive shock testing to make sure it can withstand the inevitable knocks, bumps and scrapes that come with everyday use. Even if you drop it, the SRS-XB23 will keep on working. It also has an IP67 rating which makes the speaker dustproof, waterproof, rustproof and washable

Happy tenants
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the most valuable gadgets I ever purchased. I live in a senior apartment, first time in 80 years that I had to share walls and floors with others. I grew up learning to respect the rights of others. With my new speaker on my side table I am not in danger of infringing on others rights. Being hard of hearing, I am now able to listen at my own comfort level.
