We're glad you're enjoying the amazing features and overall sound quality of the unit. The XB43 is specifically designed for audio clarity throughout its volume range. Depending on the music, the EXTRA BASS effects may not be so noticeable. To switch the sound effect from STAMINA mode to EXTRA BASS mode, press and hold the LIVE/STAMINA button for about 3 seconds. The STAMINA indicator will turn off and the sound effect will be switched back to EXTRA BASS mode. You can also change the setting of the Sound Effect with “Sony | Music Center”.

Posted .Hi SDDP, That's Great! The SRS-XB43 couples deep, punchy bass with clear vocals for that music festival sound, plus flashing lights to help get the party started. You can enjoy the same song, multiplied, with Party Connect. Connect up to 100 compatible wireless speakers7 with BLUETOOTH® technology and the music and lights sync up so everyone dances to the same beat. Set a random pattern or set the lights to blink in a circle. Thank you for choosing Sony! Jay
