Amazing! We're thrilled that you are enjoying the sound quality 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!

Sony Speaker Review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony bluetooth speaker was great with the light feature that synced with the music being played. It is big and heavy. It is better for a home use such as poolside, hot tub application etc. For the size it does not put out enough sound even at full volume but it is not distorted at that level. I cannot comment on battery life as I did not keep it long enough. Overall a very nice speaker when it can be purchased in the $150 range. I ultimately went with a competitor’s product as it was better fitted for my needs as it was smaller, lighter, more wattage=higher volume level, 3 frequency equalizer.
