Posted .Hi NewBluetoothspeaker,
Thank you for the positive feedback. Also, 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.
Thank you for choosing Sony!

Posted .Hi Reader, Thank you for taking the time to review the SRS-XB23. We're glad you like your XB23. It combines a tough, durable design with long battery life, deep bass sound, and flashing lights. To get the most out of the volume, please try the different sound modes found in the Sony Music Center app, until you find the one you like for indoor or outdoor settings. There is even an EQ in there. You may also try the STEREO PAIR in which 2 SRS-XB23 speakers are required. By connecting 2 speakers via BLUETOOTH connection, you can enjoy a more powerful sound. Lastly, 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. -Jess

Light but sturdy portable bluetooth speaker
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted to get a portable bluetooth speaker because I have an older truck and didn't want to invest in a new car stereo. With the speaker, if I'm going to be in the truck for a while, I can use my phone (or other device) to stream music to the speaker. The sound quality is very good. The speaker seems to hold a charge for quite a while, plus you can always plug it into your charging port in the car if it gets low. If you push the "BATT" button on the speaker, the speaker will tell you what the power level is. Setup is very easy, just download the Sony Music Center app, pair your device via bluetooth and you're good to go. You can either use music on your device or whatever music service you have. Another bonus is that it's waterproof and lighter than I expected. Though it's light, it doesn't feel cheap or fragile. Good to know that if I spill a beverage around it, it won't kill it. Speaking of beverages, the speaker is designed to fit in most standard cup holders, so you can stand it upright. All in all, it's exactly what I expect from Sony, a quality product.

Nice job Sony!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this speaker. It has plenty of punch, great connectivity, great battery life and a modern design. I’ve been streaming to it every day for 12-13 hours. There’s an accompanying smartphone app which lets you integrate with other popular streaming apps like Spotify, TuneIn, Netflix, YouTube, etc. There’s a button for party mode (I don’t have a second speaker to pair it with, but imagine that it works much like Bose party mode or Apple’s stereo mode.) The speaker charges via USB-C and the charging port is sealed with a rubber port plug to keep dust and water out. The operation buttons are placed along the length of the speaker and have discrete indicator lights to show when the battery is low, when it’s playing or when it’s in pairing mode. The speaker includes a wrist strap, fits in most cupholders, and is easy to grip with 1 hand. This has better bass and a more rugged build than similar speakers in the category. I own a few Bluetooth speakers and this speaker can compete with others that are twice the price.
I would recommend this to a friend Good sound, so-so battery life

Posted .Hi Pete,
Thank you so much for the fantastic review. We're glad you're enjoying the portability and sound quality of the speaker. We appreciate your feedback regarding on the battery life.
Lithium-ion battery life Approx. (please ensure a full charge)
12 hours: Volume level of the unit set to 34, the sound mode set to STAMINA.
10 hours: Volume level of the unit set to 31 and with the factory default settings (sound mode: EXTRA BASS).
3 hours: Volume level of the unit set to maximum and with the factory default settings (sound mode: EXTRA BASS).
As with any battery operated speaker, Actual performance time may vary from the listed time due to the volume, songs played, surrounding temperature, and usage conditions.
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. We also kept it waterproof and dustproof so you can take it with you wherever you go! To make sure you are getting the most out of your new purchase, please make sure to download the Sony Music Center App. There you will find all new ways to control the sound and performance of your speaker. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Jess
