Perfect speaker if you want bass and sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good for a portable speaker, Provides A LOT of bass and much better sound quality than all the competition in my opinion. Love it for my gym and outdoors while I'm grilling. Not the most portable, cant walk around with it all the time, but sound quality makes up for that for sure!

Nice
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the speaker. It looks nice and sounds good. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because Sony EQ on their app is very basic. I'm unable to pull out the quality sound I believe the speaker is capable of. The lights on it are pretty cool. Would be great by the pool or at a BBQ.

A gift for my wife...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We had been trying to figure out exactly which Bluetooth speaker to buy and after hearing this Sony SRS-XB43 the decision became clear. Awesome sound, easy setup, and simple daily use for my less than tech-savvy wife made this the obvious choice. It was a big hit and the sound is amazing!

Excellent speaker

Posted .Hi Vinny, We're very grateful for this positive feedback! The SRS-XB43 couples deep, punchy bass with clear vocals for that music festival sound, plus flashing lights to help get the party started. Up to 24 hours of battery life means the SRS-XB43 can party even longer than you can. Even with the lighting on in EXTRA BASS™ mode, you can party for up to 14 hours. 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. Thank you for choosing Sony! Jay
