    In this day and age, small portable speakers can cost a lot of money, and a lot of them do not sound very good. Sony hit the nail on the head with the SRSXB31. For the suggested retail price of $149.99, you get big sound in a small package with some extras. Here are some things I like about the SRSXB31: Sounds - Is a pleasant full sounding speaker. When you see the size of the speaker and hear how much sound, and the quality that sound, you will be amazed. Also thanks to Sony's "Music Center" app, you can customize the sound, which is a huge plus over other manufactures portable speakers. LED's - This speaker has LED's that you can control the effect and color from the Music Center app. Honestly, I like to have them off, but my daughter loves them when they are on. Playtime - Allegedly it's up to 24 hours. I haven't played it that long, but when I received the speaker and charged it up to 100%, I've been using it the past couple days at what I consider high volume for a few hours at a time, and it still has an 80% charge. Music Center App - Sony includes this app which works on both iOS and Android. It gives you control over the sound and lights on the speaker. It also gives you easy access to music apps and playlists on your phone all in one place. It's very convenient and easy to use. Here are some thing I dislike: I honestly can not find anything to dislike about this speaker. It's amazing, and I would highly recommend it.

    Loses Volume

    The sound quality was great however the volume repeatedly turns itself down. The whole reason we bought the speaker was to have music while we were swimming and it defeats the whole purpose when you have to get out of the pool, disconnect from the speaker, reconnect to the speaker, and then restart the music again....lather rinse repeat....

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
