    Purchased as a gift. Recipient requested after seeing and hearing one that somebody else had. Recipient was thrilled to open and had a hard time waiting to use. The sound is very clear with outstanding bass. Lights synced with beat is bonus. Discovered it is possible to link with another too.

    This is a great speaker. Long battery life, tons of lights for mode lighting and strobe/etc. It is a powerful speaker, way stronger than the small Bose speaker I tried before this one. In vehicles, it sounds great! Even loud enough that I had to turn it down a few times while driving.

    This speaker sounds great!! Love it. It stays charged a long time (without the lights on). I don't use it for a speaker phone bc it seems like ppl can't hear me. But for a speaker? It does an excellent job. Sounds clear and really good. Love the color too :).

    After looking around for a decent speaker to jam to in the outdoors, this one popped up and I'm glad I purchased it. Wonderful sound and bass for such a small speaker. Waterproof, dustproof cool light settings (best used with the Sony app) and great sound. Can't go wrong with this speaker.

    If you're looking for a speaker with some serious bass then this is it! This little speaker comes packed with lights and they change colors. If you decided later on you wanted to get several other sony speakers -- or even the larger ones you could connect them all together!

    This speaker I thought might have been to small for my house. I was wrong. The store give a inaccurate feels for music due to the openness of the store. When I got that speaker home, OMG the sound was enormous. Rich bass flowed from my little blue box. Should have bought it sooner.

    This product is absolutely awesome and always what I wanted but never got with the cheaper bluetooth speakers. The lights allow for any setting and adds to the vibe. The Sound! AMAZING! LOUD and GREAT BASS. Water proof. I would definitely buy again and recommend. The only downfall is once battery goes under 50% it doesnt go as loud as normal. But overall. 4 out of 5.

    I've hooked up a pair of these, as a pair/left/right stereo. I found the setup quirky but eventually worked it out. I'm not that excited about the lights, and usually, have them off, but can see them for "Party Mode". Fantastic sound quality for size and long lasting charge.

    I teach young children’s dance classes. I needed a speaker that was loud enough to fill the room but also portable to be able to carry easily. This speaker was perfect. The ability to add on connected speakers is also nice in the event I begin teaching in larger spaces.

    Loves this speaker! I tried probably 30 different wireless speakers from different makers and at different stores but this one beat every one of them. The sound is fantastic along with the fun lights it makes a great addition to an office or home. Even has a cool party mode!

    Considering the size of this speaker I am very happy with the sound quality and bass it produces. Easy to pair with Bluetooth and the lights are an interesting touch, which you can turn off if you choose. Very rugged but haven't tested the "water-proof" capability yet.

    The best Bluetooth speaker for the money! It's sound AWESOME. It water proof so for a pool party with some friends it's the perfect pice of entertainment. You can connect a various Sony xb31 or compatible and pump up the sound and have a blast.

    Small convenient package that carries lots of bass compared to most other competitors. IP67 rating for waterproof and dust-proof is a big plus. The addition of LED lights is a cool feature for a small light show but definitely not a showstopper.

    I got it for 100 on black Friday and I have the xb41 as well and this mid grade model is great and the red color looks great! The sound quality is nice and feels good for it's size, it's pretty light which is nice. The party chaining is sometimes weird and you have to interrupt music to do it especially with older models like my xb20.

    This speaker is amazing! Packs a lot of sound for such a small speaker(not super small but sounds like a bigger style speaker). You can also sync up to 99 of these speakers to play at the same time. Pretty cool gadget! My husband loves it.

    From the size of speaker the quality of sound and no distortion on high volume return is just great. Very easy to connect and recognizes other speakers to hook them in. New models came out so hopefully performance will be the same.
