    This unit is very solid construction with quality materials and designed very well. I like the ease of pairing it with my Desktop. I also paired it with a Sling AirTV box and cell phone everything is simple to do. The speaker is great for enhancing your PC speaker situation – beautiful sound, lots of bass. Sound can be very full and deep like you might hear in a theater during the murder scene nice – it does as they say create a 3-D feeling sound. One cool feature is the lights, you get flashes, strobes and it is not overdone, I liked it playing with the lights while I did other work on the computer. It also has a nice audio-in jack for devices you can’t pair it with. It has a 24 hour charge and this was verified per my own testing. There is a feature that younger folks and/or party folks would enjoy where you can chain up to 100 of these together using Bluetooth. Nice feature if you consider the tremendous sound and flashing lights that would be produced for a party or reunion. It is waterproof and can be submerged without hurting its electronics or materials – though I didn’t try this. Interesting app called Sony Music Center can be installed which I did. I did not opt for buying songs but I did utilize the app to easily pair the speaker with my Android phone. Music played by YouTube was much clearer and more Bass than even my Jensen Moto-Mod produced (and the Moto-Mod is pretty nice sound). Lastly there is a really well done Help Guide you can refer to online. The basic set up instructions came with it. But you will want to go out to http://rd1.sony.net/help/speaker/srs-xb31/v1/h_zz/ and check out the all the functions and instructions. One example is you can use this speaker with the Sony Music Center app for connection to SIRI and Android voice assist units – pretty neat. Overall I would highly recommend this unit for its sound quality, lights and its added functionality.

    This speaker (especially accompanied by the app) is mind blowingly awesome! The different lighting effects you can choose from are great and the 3 sound modes are fantastic but the fact the app has an equalizer as well you can adjust, is a dream come true, and by the way it definitely lives up to it's name, Xtra Bass, I love Sony products and this speaker I just more solidification for why I will always look for Sony brand items.
