      Hi Perfect,

      Perfect! We're thrilled that you like the sound quality, lighting function, and smooth connectivity of the speaker. Deep, resonant sound elevates your favorite music with the XB43 wireless speaker. The newly designed X Balanced Speaker Unit gives the EXTRA BASS™ power of the XB43 a crisper, fuller sound and two new tweeters for clearer vocals. The IP67 waterproof, rustproof and dustproof design means you can listen anywhere, indoors or out, with up to 24 hours of battery life. Thanks for choosing Sony!

    Four stars because it should get a little louder for the price. But the sound quality is available. I say available because it gets so much better after you set the EQ with the app. Another app controls the lighting if you wish. If you get a second one you can run them as left and right channels. And finally if you have more Sony speakers and friends with Sony speakers you can wirelessly connect up to 99 I believe to play the same thing. Pretty neat tech.
