Meh
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this via online so I was unable to see it in person first. The sound quality is good, honestly not the greatest for how expensive it is but not bad by any means. This is very large and heavy. I also cannot figure out how to get the lights to stop flashing, it is a tad obnoxious. I am being picky, but for 200ish dollars for a portable speaker, I feel I can be a tad pickier. If you need a home speaker, this works great if you don't mind colorful lights flashing. If you want to take this places, get something else. It is too heavy and not much better than smaller and cheaper speakers

Posted .Hi swcss, We're glad that you like the sound quality. We also appreciate the feedback regarding the weight of the unit. The weight is due to the all-new X-Balance speaker design, and 2 new tweeters. We also kept the speaker waterproof and dustproof like the XB41, but the XB43 is shockproof as well. Oh, and even though we added more speakers, your XB43 still has up to 24hours of battery life. All of these things add up to our best sounding portable speaker to date, that can basically go anywhere you want to go.
To turn on or off the lightning function, please 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.

Recommend
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have always had good experiences with Sony audio electronics. Do your homework when setting up and pairing. Charge it to full first. Only gripe is having to locate 2 speakers within 3 feet for stereo, doesn’t make sense for true stereo separation
