Sony XB43 is a must buy!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this speaker for $149 and trust me it is worth it! It sounds better than the competition. No matter what song you play at high volumes, there's no distortion at all. Most importantly it is water resistant. moreover, you can even customize the live sound mode to extra bass on the sony app.
