Nice sound!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker wont knock your walls down but the added tweeters make the clarity nice and good bass to go along with it. Sony bluetooth speakers tend to sound stale and leaving me wanting more but this speaker is alive and if you can get it on sale, go for it!

Echo
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just purchased a new truck and not only did it not come with a CD player I’m not able to add Sirius radio. I have to listen to music but, the local stations repeat songs every hour sometimes sooner. My son suggested to try this cool little gadget. As it turns out, it’s one of his best suggestions. I absolutely love telling it what to play!!!

Wish I can lock my Bluetooth connection

Posted .Hi Crab, Thank you for taking the time to review the XB43 EXTRA BASS™ Portable Wireless Speaker. The speaker supports security capabilities that comply with the BLUETOOTH standard to provide a secure connection when the BLUETOOTH wireless technology is used, but security may not be enough depending on the setting. Be careful when communicating using BLUETOOTH wireless technology. As long as the BLUETOOTH function is activated on a BLUETOOTH device that has previously been connected with the speaker, the speaker is reconnected with the device right after it is turned on. Up to 2 BLUETOOTH devices can be connected to the speaker at the same time. When one of the devices starts playing back while playing back music on another device, the speaker switches the output and starts outputting the sound from the new device (Multi-device connection).
