Another great speaker from Sony
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this speaker for a week and it is a great rugged portable speaker. The size is good, it's easy to hold or locate in plenty of places and the exterior seems pretty rugged and should hold up well to use. I've had a Sony XB10 series bluetooth speaker that I've been happy with for a while and my only small complaints about that one was the volume is not as loud as I had hoped and the range is slightly shorter than I'd like. Neither of those is an issue with the XB23. It's plenty loud to hear above my tool noise or just in multiple rooms of the house. It also has great range. I can walk about 30' away through multiple walls and it does not skip a beat. The bass is great as it has a cone on both ends of the speaker. The only thing I'm curious to see is how the end cones hold up as they are not 'protected' by anything, you can touch them and feel the bass. I'm assuming they'll hold up fine as this speaker is rated for waterproof and sandproof. I'll update if anything happens as I use my speakers in very harsh environments. The bluetooth paired seamlessly and when you connect it gives you a voice confirmation that it is connected to a device. The battery charges quickly and last plenty long. I like that it has a USB-C port to charge as this is what almost all of my devices are now. I did not have a chance to test the stereo pairing or the party pairing settings but they should rival the competitions offerings for syncing multiple speakers together. Overall I am extremely happy with this speaker and would highly recommend it.
