    The speaker sound great in pairs or alone. I have a 3rd one and it causes a real bad echo. You can link as many as 10 but I don't recommend that.

    I bought wireless Bluetooth speaker in the past and I was worry about this because I was hoping for bass and good sound. It was very good sound speaker with very clear bass. I would buy again or recommend to a friend.

    I bought this for my husband. He has really enjoyed having it. Good on size and the sound is great! It has cool features when you download the app. The lights are pretty cool when your hanging out on the backporch at night.

    Went back and forth on this and the JBL for Christmas.Decided on this one and my wife couldn't be happier. Sound is better and the light show that comes with it makes it a one of a kind. Very happy with my Sony XB40.

    Very Solid, Fun and Versatile Speaker

    The Sony XB40 speaker is a very solid and well built speaker. It is easy to use and is fun for the whole family. The sound is really good but not fantastic, however, all of the other features make it worth the money. For example, there are mini strobe lights and LEDs that change colors and flash with the music. Also, the whole unit is water resistant (in case you leave it out in the rain or use near a pool). Here are some of the pros and cons as I see them, but remember that one person's pro may be another's con. Pros: The speaker is well built, has good sound, is easy to hookup, is water resistant, it creates a cool party atmosphere with the lights, and it can be hooked up to more speakers to fill a room. The speaker is sturdy and has plenty of volume to fill a room (inside or outside#. Importantly, the battery life is estimated to be up to 24 hours, which is 2-3 times what I've seen in other Bluetooth speakers #I have 3 others). One more pro is that the technology is easy to use. Some speakers have trouble connecting to many devices but this one connected very quickly and to several different devices. The speaker also has a bass boost function. I couldn't tell if it sounded better or worse with the bass boost, but then again I was just playing pop music. Either way, the function is nice to have. Cons: There are only 2 cons to this speaker, and they are not very negative. First, the sound is not as refined as I would like it. Its hard to describe but you know what awesome sound quality is when your face is in front of a speaker. Don't get me wrong, this speaker has really good sound but not quite the quality of a true high end speaker. The second con is the overall size of the speaker. It is larger and heavier than most of the other speakers I've used. However, the extra size is why it has the cool light show and the extra long battery life, so it is a tradeoff that I think is worth it. Overall, I would recommend this speaker to almost anyone, but if you are looking at tradeoffs between sound quality and functionality, this speaker leans toward functionality.
