    This is a great speaker. I have a UE Roll and as expected, this speaker is much fuller and louder. Battery life is really good as well.

    COOL: Great strobe light effects Waterproof Excellent base and overall sound quality 24 hours of battery life! Party Booster feature is fun NOT SO COOL: The compartment where the USB ports reside could allow water in if not properly closed Impressive! I do not think I ever started a review with that word right at the beginning. I own other similar good Bluetooth speakers but I must say that this one really impressed me beyond any expectation. I am not talking about the great light effects it produces. I am talking about the excellent sound quality. The base is so good that this is the first time ever that I feel excited about this type of portable device. I liked others but I fell in love with this one. Here is something that I need to admit. Although I know you can immerse it in water and I have done that successfully with similar devices in the past, I could not try it with this Sony. It does not feel cheap or fragile but as good as it is, you will compel yourself to protect it from water, dust and everybody else’s hands. The tapping feature is cool but not for me. No issues at all. I am sure younger people will love it but the other features will impress almost everybody and they are more useful and much more enjoyable in my opinion. There is a very useful built-in USB output to charge your portable devices but I would make sure its compartment is always closed. Although it might decrease the battery run time, it will make little difference since it lasts almost 24 hours according to specs. Again, I am really impressed with this Sony SRS-XB31 and could not find anything bad to say about it. Highly recommended.
