good all around speaker
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I received this product as part of the Best Buy Tech Insider program for my honest review. The sony xb30 bluetooth speaker is a good bluetooth accessory but not perfect. To my ears, the sound seems a little muffled. The highs and mid range sounds don't seem as sharp and crisp as I had hoped. I'm not saying that the sound is bad, because it isn't, but maybe I expected a little more. sound volume is good for indoor use or outdoors if you are going to be near the speaker. It is not a speaker you could use to provide music for a large group or a pool party or something similar. If you are hanging out by the pool or at the beach, this speaker has plenty of volume, howerver. One thing I would change on the speaker is the charging system. The speaker has a proprietary charger. I would have much rather they sent a usb charger of some type to charge of of a computer or where you could use an existing cell phone charger when you need to add a little power. the speaker will last a long time on a single charge, however, so you shouldn't be charging all that often unless you are a power user. The speaker is good for what I will use it for - sitting around a campsite or watching my little girls dance to music off my phone in the backyard. Its a good speaker with some potential.
I would recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Sound quality
Returned DOA
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not so great experience liked that you could daisy chain these for a large area of coverage. This also sounded very good but worked for 10 minutes and return to store

Multiple Connections Possible
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I liked the style and the fact you could have multiple speakers attached in different rooms. However I ended taking back it was DOA five minutes after connecting and would not connect again. Did not trust to buy another

Not enough power for my purposes.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I found the product, although working as it was supposed to work, to be inadequate for my purposes. I brought it back and upgraded to the Marshall Stanmore Bluetooth speaker, much better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendWhat a bad choice!!
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this speaker for my son and he lost the charger. I tried getting a new charger at Best Buy and none of the ones they sold fit this speaker. I tried contacting Sony directly and the price of the charger is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous. I found it on Amazon (super cheap). Put it to charge for a few hours... it never turned on. And of course... my warranty expired a month ago. What a horrible choice. Very disappointed!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendStay Clear of this item! Disappointing!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worked amazing for 2 weeks then died. It lasted just long to not be eligible for a return at the store. Would not take a charge or turn on. Efforts made to reset with Sony Tech support and still a no go. Did not buy protection so now in the hassel of dealing with shipping to exchange and wait for a new replacement. Actually hated to even give it 1 star.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot great for basic use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.more complicated to use than was necessary, and it has strobe lights that flash constantly while using, obviously for the young techno crowd

It's alright I guess but kinda sucks too
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this speaker for my work truck. It's Bluetooth so that awesome. At first it was great. The battery seemed like it lasted for ever. Overtime the battery life is getting shorter and shorter. It says on the box 24 hours. I'm down to 2 hours then have to charge again. It's loud for a small speaker. Sounds good. I wouldn't buy it again. Wanted to return it but I work a lot so I kept forgetting. Buy something else!!
