    Great bass and light effects! Best bass in a portable speaker I've ever heard. Sound is great. I was lucky enough to get this for $150 before price returned to $250. Only downside is it has its own plug, not universal. But battery life is amazing! More than happy.

    I tested this model inside the store by hooking up my Bluetooth and testing it out then i decided to buy it. I now had this speaker for a month or so now and it is really loud has high quality sound like my $800 Yamaha surround sound speaker in my house it sounds exactly the same in the lights are not random they go to the beat and sound each blinking light is unique it does its own thing based on a certain beat you can also charge your phone with the speaker also the battery lasts for 20-plus hours which is true I will recommend this out of all the other Bluetooth speakers plus Sony always makes really great quality products, if you have any questions about the product feel free to ask me

    Amazing sound for a wireless speaker that I use with my smartphone. Great bass, connects quickly and easily to my music source device (iPhone). FYI...the big sound and cool lights cause this speaker to be fairly heavy and it is not cheap, although I was lucky enough to buy mine when it was $150 and not the current $250.....I also found a nice carrying case made for this speaker and it’s cord for about $16. Very happy with this speaker!

    Good, loud sound from this reasonably sized speaker. The flashing lights are good to set the mood and can be turned off if you don’t feel it any more.

    This model is being phased out for a newer version that is completely water proof, versus water resistant so we got a good price. My son runs it between his car (an 2003 model without decent stereo or plugs) and the house. Volume is good, bass is great and he likes the battery life. All in all it is a very good sounding speaker that fits his needs.

    This Bluetooth Speaker sounds great. It fills the room with great sound and the bass that comes out of this speaker is very nice. Battery life is great and the LED lights on the speaker are a really nice touch. This speaker sounds really good and it will not disappoint with its sound quality.

    For a small portable speaker this thing has great bass and loud sound. I bought it for working out in the yard and for my Holiday Decorations set up. It has a cool app you can put on your phone to add some features with the lights and sound controls. Only complaint is the Bluetooth range, you need to be within so many feet for it to work that is why I am giving it a 4 out of 5 stars. I know other speakers on the market have 3 times the range but they don't have nearly as loud or good of sound so that is why I got this one. The range really is only an issue when I am working in the yard. Easy solution is just to put your phone or Bluetooth device near the speaker and it works fine. I am planning on buying another one of these.

    We use this speaker all the time. It’s great, gets loud! Decent bass, battery life is better than I expected, has some colored LEDs which are neat I guess (neater when drunk). Seems to be rather durable as I’m not easy on things and it’s still working like a charm

    Got is in student deals for 89$ which is a steal deal. I still regret only buying one since this can connect with another xb40 to create a stereo effect. Sounds great. Bass is punchy. Gets super loud and lights are cool. Couldn't ask for more.

    This is a great little speaker. Easy connection via Bluetooth to my phone. Great sound. Long lasting battery. Nice bass for such a compact unit. Pricier than some of the other no-name models, but definitely worth the extra cost if you like listening to music.

    I was looking for a speaker that was compact and sounded good with more bass to place on my cart at work. This speaker was the right size and the sound was pretty good. The price could have been a little less. I did not want anything that was too high pitch and this speaker has done the trick. I have had it now for about a month and am very pleased with the sound, durability, and compactness.
