Best in class
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought it around $150 and i feel it is really worth it. In my opinion, it is way better than JBL speaker. I do not use it outdoor so can not comment on that part. My average daily usage ~1 hour.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This electronic apparatus is very potent. The music sounds crisp and deep bass. Sounds way better than the competition. I”ll tell you what. You will not be disappointed. The Sony app is a added perk. Got it for a good price during the holidays.

Good sound, not as portable friendly.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It sounds good to me. I needed a Bluetooth speaker to play music in my truck at work. Being able to charge my phone is a plus. Only flaw for me is the body design. I turned a corner and the speaker went rolling and fell. It needs more supportive feet or something to keep it from rolling away. It also could use a strap or someway to carry it. It’s kind of heavy.

Good Quality & Sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The look is nice especially the color changes, but the speaker section material collects dust easily which is an issue. It can be cleaned but I think a rubber material would be better. The sound quality is very good but I did think it would be a touch louder. Overall it is solid for covering a first floor of a house with great sound.

Posted .Hi Tyler, We're glad to hear you're enjoying the sound quality and lighting effects of your SRSXB43 speaker. We appreciate your feedback about 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. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam

Nearly perfect
||Posted .
