Prepare to be disappointed
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s decent, it sounds good. Not worth full price. Wait for the price drops. I bought a second speaker to make a stereo pair. It’s connection always gets interrupted when there’s movement somehow. It doesn’t matter if I leave my phone next to the speakers while the movement is happening. If your gonna be dancing or moving around allot while these speakers are In stereo mode then prepare to be disappointed if you ignore this review and buy a second one to pair up anyways.

- Cons mentioned:Weight
It's good, just not for that price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .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
