    I love Roku boxes over any other ones we have owned. 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.

      Hi Quan, That's awesome! Thank you for purchasing the XB43 speaker again. We're glad you like the powerful sound this unit delivers. I would also recommend utilizing the Stereo pair function. By connecting 2 speakers via a BLUETOOTH connection, you can enjoy a more powerful sound. One speaker plays the left channel and the other one plays the right.

    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.

      Hi ninja,
      Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're glad to hear you are enjoying your XB43 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! - Kris Sony_US

    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.
