Bluetooth Speaker
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounded really good in the store when we listened to it so we bought it. But then took on a float trip and still sounded okay but not as good when you had it outside. The bass on it was just okay. Main reason we took back is because it doesn't float in water. We need one that will float.

Posted .Hi Hlfj, Thank you for the feedback on your experience with your XB43 speaker. While we're glad to hear that you like the overall sound quality, we regret to know that the unit had to be returned. Even though the unit is not capable of floating in the water, we kept the speaker waterproof and dustproof like the XB41, but the XB43 is shockproof as well. All of these things add up to our best sounding portable speaker to date, that can basically go anywhere you want to go.
I hope in the future you consider our products. Thank you for sharing your feedback.
Sincerely,
Sam

Decent speaker for a semi permanent location
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker was very nice sounding but I had a couple issues with it. The cloth it is wrapped in got dirty very fast which was a bummer. Didn’t try to clean it but maybe it cleans off? Also noticed the sheer weight of this thing was pretty intense. Not as portable as my xb40 I used to have. Also, battery life was really good but had some very odd connection issues with blue tooth. If I got a text sound through the speaker it would automatically shut off and need to be manually turned back on and reconnected to start playing. The interruption was annoying at most. Overall a good sounding speaker but I ended up returning it.

Posted .Hi Jonathan, While we are glad you are enjoying the sound quality and long battery life of your new SRS-XB43, we regret that the unit had to be returned. We appreciate the feedback regarding the weight of the unit and the protective cover. 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.
With regard to connectivity issues, we recommend performing a factory reset and reconnecting it to your Bluetooth device. To reset the unit, While the speaker is turned on, press and hold the - (volume) and (BLUETOOTH) buttons until the speaker turns off (5 seconds or more).
Thanks for sharing your feedback -Sam

Nice
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good medium sized speaker. If you are looking for super deep bass this is probably not for you. The highs and mids are very good and it is a overall good speaker
