      Hi Jeff, We're glad that you are happy with your purchase! The SRS-XB43 couples a deep, punchy bass with clear vocals for that music festival sound, plus flashing lights to help get the party started. Thanks for choosing Sony! Jay Sony_US

    On day two of my ownership we had an unwelcome accident. The speaker got knocked off a shelf from a height of 5 feet onto a hardwood floor. The speaker had no damage internally or externally not even a blemish. At this price point most speakers including this one have acceptable sound quality but this Sony clearly also has great build quality.
