    Probably not as loud as I would have thought but it is a neat speaker. If your looking for a booming Bluetooth device I’d suggest a different one.

    The sound is very good but the speaker is not loud at all. If your looking for a speaker that’s loud I’d go with the Bose. I have that speaker as well and it’s much better

      Hi Fitpro, While we are glad to hear that you are happy with the sound quality of your new SRSXB43, we are sorry to hear that it did not meet all of your expectations when it comes to the volume level.

      The sound may become low when the built-in battery is running low and the CHARGE indicator flashes slowly, while the speaker is being powered by the built-in battery only. Also, when the rechargeable built-in battery is running low as a result of long-time use of the speaker at a loud volume even though the speaker was connected to an AC outlet by the AC adaptor (supplied).

      If the sound becomes low while in use, turn off the speaker and charge the built-in battery sufficiently.

      Should you need further assistance, please contact us for help.

      Please email the below information to socialsupport@am.sony.com

      Apologies if you disclosed some of this information in your review and to customer service, we just want to ensure that we have your accurate details at the time of communication.

    Absolutely love this speaker. Honestly had no idea that it was going to sound better than I expected. So happy I caught it on sale or I wouldn’t have been able to get 2 sets of the this line. I know this is one of the best brands for speakers so I shouldn’t be surprised but this isnt very big for the amount of sound and the quality is incredible as expected.
