    It’s a good speaker if your looking for something simple to use around the house or on the beach. Little disappointed with the battery life, don’t know if I got a defective battery or what but if you have it on full volume it will only last about 3 hours. Was expecting more. Not good for a noisy setting like a warehouse if your trying to hear it from more than 10 feet away. It is a good speaker, I was just hoping for something louder with a longer battery life.

      Hi 20MG,

      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

      Regards,
