    It's good but not much better than it's predecessor. Also, it's heavy. For what I use it for, it becomes more of a hassle because of it's weight.

      Hi ComfortableChair, We appreciate the feedback regarding the weight of the unit. The weight is due to the all-new X-Balance speaker design, and 2 new tweeters. We also kept the speaker waterproof and dustproof like the XB41, but the XB43 is shockproof as well. Oh, and even though we added more speakers, your XB43 still has up to 24hours of battery life. All of these things add up to our best sounding portable speaker to date, that can basically go anywhere you want to go. Thank you for choosing Sony! Erin Sony_US

      Hi Elie20147,

      Awesome! We're thrilled that the speaker is perfect for your indoor and outdoor parties. 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!

    Serious Business. Looks great, Sounds great. This is not a pocket speaker; It sounds good because it is large enough to disseminate the source. If you plan on it being mobile, get a case.
