Great little speaker with put it on party mode
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had this speaker for about a year now and I am super impressed by its performance. I’ve added a second one and will be adding another 2 as 4 of them can be linked together in party mode for those summer BBQs around the pool (they are waterproof). Only down side is on some songs with heavier bass they don’t tend to crackle a bit, but I haven’t needed to put the volume full blast to get good sound.

Nice box

Easy to use and this one actually turn on and off my Samsung TV. Only issue is my husband's big fingers keep hitting the buttons on the side and turning on closed captioning.

delivers powerful low-frequency response
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony SRS-XB43 delivers powerful low-frequency response. At moderate volume levels, the bass is still robust, and at top volume levels, it doesn't distort or thin out too much, as is sometimes the case with a portable speaker employing too much digital signal processing. This is excellent portable bluetooth speaker.
