Nice speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great mid-sized speakers. Get app and adjust to get the most base. Doesn’t have the mids of a Bose but it’s a good trade off.

Posted .Hi Riquelmer11, Awesome! We're very grateful for this positive feedback! The SRS-XB43 wireless speaker blends deep, punchy bass with clear vocals for that signature festival sound. It's durable and easy to use, too, so you and your friends can focus on enjoying the party. The X-Balanced Speaker Unit isn't the only reason the SRS-XB43 sounds so good—inside, you'll find a range of high-performance audio technologies. The XB43's 2-way speaker system combines a woofer for low to mid-range frequencies with a dedicated tweeter for the higher range frequencies. The result is exceptional vocal clarity. Thank you for choosing Sony. Jay

SONY XRS XB43 Rocked my world with lights & music
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A well worthy bluetooth speaker from Sony that will rock your place- sound is rich, bass is great and LED lights set up the mood for the party. Sony SRS XB43 is a great investment and value @ Best buy, no regrets, kind of heavy but it is well worth it for the $$, and it does come with a charger cable and adapter, added extra it can charge your device!!!

The IP67 waterproof, rustproof and dustproof design means you can listen anywhere, indoors or out, with up to 24 hours of battery life. Thank you for choosing Sony!

Great sound - design flaw
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This bluetooth speaker has Amazing Sound. Great quality. Great features. ONLY issue is a design flaw. Heavy set with no grip or handle. It stays in place perfectly, but to move it is odd. You need both hands to be careful.

Great Speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is such a great size for the portable ones. Its big enough to pack a punch and small enough to bring around. I love this. I had the 60series and those are huge. Great but not as portable friendly. High recommend. Bass and sound are great. Lights add a nice touch, especially at night or dark rooms.

Posted .Hi MrMattyIce, Awesome! Up to 24 hours of battery life means the SRS-XB43 can party even longer than you can. Actual performance may vary from the listed time due to the volume, songs played, surrounding temperature, and usage conditions. There’s no fun without party lights. The SRS-XB43 has a tweeter light, a speaker light, and a multi-colour line light that all flash in sync with the beat. You can even change the colour of the line light to suit your mood.

Overall Great speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a great speaker. I have the srs-xb32, srs-xb41 and now I have this one srs-xb43 I haven't been disappointed so far following this line of speakers. The batter life has a big improvement from the srs-xb41 now it last longer on a single charge. Great depth of bass and no problem connecting in to party mode with my other speakers. Would highly recommend it. It does have more weight then the other speakers I have.
