Posted .Hi Crab, Thank you for taking the time to review the XB43 EXTRA BASS™ Portable Wireless Speaker. The speaker supports security capabilities that comply with the BLUETOOTH standard to provide a secure connection when the BLUETOOTH wireless technology is used, but security may not be enough depending on the setting. Be careful when communicating using BLUETOOTH wireless technology. As long as the BLUETOOTH function is activated on a BLUETOOTH device that has previously been connected with the speaker, the speaker is reconnected with the device right after it is turned on. Up to 2 BLUETOOTH devices can be connected to the speaker at the same time. When one of the devices starts playing back while playing back music on another device, the speaker switches the output and starts outputting the sound from the new device (Multi-device connection).

Better choice of the smaller speakers for sound

Posted .Hi chip,
Thank you for the positive feedback. The SRS-XB23 has undergone extensive shock testing to make sure it can withstand the inevitable knocks, bumps and scrapes that come with everyday use. Even if you drop it, the SRS-XB23 will keep on working. It also has an IP67 rating which makes the speaker dustproof, waterproof, rustproof and washable
Regards,
David

Great speaker, nice features and neat lights!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker is on par with many in its price range and for its size. I was hoping for a louder more room filling speaker but, overall it’s a good speaker for the price. You honestly cannot go wrong. Of course there are other brands which I do feel produce a more natural sound that’s much more filling and less flat but overall, for the price, features and size I think you’d be pleasantly surprised with your purchase.
