So worth it.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound quality is much better then XB33. But you will have a very big difference in the weight. The XB43 is much heavier. Wait for it to come on sale. Save 80-100 dollars.

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!!!

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.

Great upgrade from an old speaker
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best speakers for the money. I recently upgraded from my ancient Sony SRS-X5S, and man, I am NOT not disappointed. It's sound is absolutely amazing for it's size, uses type C to charge, has an aux input. Pretty much everything I want in a Bluetooth speaker! The only thing I'm not a fan of is the included lights built in, but a simple button press on the back of the unit turns those off. The unit is fairly large, so you'll need to consider that when you stuff it into a bag, but other than that. Sony still remains one of the gold standards when it comes to bluetooth speakers in this particular price range.

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.

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
