Posted .Hi AJPADIHER,
Great! We're glad that you like the sound quality and portability 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. Thanks for choosing Sony!

Powerful speaker with good battery life.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good sound and the battery seems to last a long time. It doesn't get heavy use, maybe 10 hours per week, so I only charge it once per week. Took it on vacation and I take it to work most days.
