Hi WilliamR,
Thank you for your time writing this review. We're sorry hear if the sound quality of the XB23 speaker did not live up to your expectations. Allow us to help make this a better experience. Please make sure that the speaker software is updated as it includes key features, applications, bug fixes, and feature improvements. If the sound is poor or skips when using a Bluetooth connection, please try some solutions below:
Make sure that the built-in battery is charged sufficiently.
Bring the BLUETOOTH device closer to the speaker. If there is any obstacle between the speaker and the BLUETOOTH device, move it out of the way.
Locate the speaker farther away from a TV, radio or tuner, etc. since noise may occur in broadcasts.
Select “Priority on stable connection (SBC)” for the wireless playback quality of the speaker.
