Good, but not great
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I initially was satisfied with this speaker, until I heard my friend's wonderboom 2. The wonderboom 2 had punchier bass, clearer mids, and clearer treble with a nicer and more portable design. I returned this speaker and picked up the wonderboom 2 and haven't looked back. I'd recommend the marshall emberton (if it's on sale) or wonderboom 2 over this speaker.

Thank you for purchasing the SRSXB23. We regret to hear that we were not able to meet your expectations with the sound quality and design of our Bluetooth speaker and unit had to be returned. This may be resolved by updating the software and control sound settings with the Sony Music Center app. We value your opinion and hope that you will shop Sony again in the future.
