Nice sound!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker wont knock your walls down but the added tweeters make the clarity nice and good bass to go along with it. Sony bluetooth speakers tend to sound stale and leaving me wanting more but this speaker is alive and if you can get it on sale, go for it!

Great Sound But Heavy to Carry
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It has the quality sound; however, it lacks portability feature for being big and heavy. Wish this had a detachable shoulder strap like the JBL.

Posted .Hi Nice, Thank you for the 4-star rating! Glad to hear that you are satisfied with your new SRSXB43 Bluetooth Speaker! To turn off (light off)/turn on (light on) the lighting function,
Press and hold the BATT (battery)/LIGHT button behind the cap on the rear side of the speaker for about 3 seconds until the lighting function turns off/on. By pressing and holding the button for about 3 seconds again, the lighting function turns on/off again.
Regards,
Carl
