Great! We're glad that you like the sound quality, design, and battery life of the speaker. Deep, resonant sound elevates your favorite music with the XB43 wireless speaker. The newly designed X Balanced Speaker Unit gives the EXTRA BASS™ power of the XB43 a crisper, fuller sound and two new tweeters for clearer vocals. 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!

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.
