Good sound speaker
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This portable speaker sounds good but my XB41 sounds louder. This xb43 can not link to xb41 which is a bit sad. Overall, not much of an upgrade from the xb41 but still a very good sound speaker.
