Sony Bluetooth speaker.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Bluetooth speaker is way awesome. It has clarity, it has BASS, it can charge your phone while still keeping battery, which btw lasts even if you don’t need to charge your phone. Highly recommend this Sony to do the job.

Posted .Hi Sandungero702,
We regret to hear about your experience with the XB43. The XB43 is specifically designed for audio clarity throughout it's volume range. This is something our music loving customers appreciate most. That being said the XB43 also gets very loud for it's size and audio precision.
We want to make sure you are getting the most out of your speaker. Please make sure you have downloaded the Sony Music Center app. There you will find all sorts of tools to fine tune your XB43 and maximize the volume to your liking. There is even an EQ.
Please make sure you fully charge the speaker, especially after it has gone below 10%, and hit the auto volume limiter (designed to keep your speaker safe).
Then Increase the volume level of the wireless speaker and source devices.
You may also find different devices will preform better than others, as will different apps due to different types of audio compression and transmission.
If none of these things help, please contact Sony support. We are here to help.
