      Hi Cescalante98, We're glad to know she loves the features, superb sound quality, and long-lasting battery life of the speaker. 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! Thank you for your purchase and for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

    It fell in the pool literally the first time we used it and it is very much waterproof. Easy to set up and use. The only issue is the sound quality. For the price of the speaker I was expecting better. It sounds very muddled.

    Kids love it. The bass effect is great, true Sony quality and the waterproof build design makes it even great for teenagers. Bluetooth pairing was a breeze although nothing special but so far no issues dropping signal. Would definitely recommend. Always loved and bought Sony products though they are always a bit more expensive that similar products with similar output. But Sony has a build quality and history you can’t compare with many brands so I’d say it’s in a class of its own. Great product overall.
