Good Sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has Good Sound with Bass as it says on box;however, this is my second one now since initial purchase due battery problems Unfortunately. This second One started out Fantastic lasting like near what it supposed to on the box said to 11.5 to 11 hours of run time, but now it barely lasts 9.5 hours tops and this is plugged into the wall for stability. Unsure if bad groups prodduct or what? Totally Unlike Sony..

Improved Compact Powerhouse with Great Sound!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony XB22 wireless portable Bluetooth speaker is an update to the XB21 speaker. It is a surprisingly powerful unit with very nice sound quality and some great bonus features. Compared to the alternatives available it is one of the best values on the market. This year Sony once again upgraded its line of wireless Bluetooth speakers with a family of three new units: XB12, XB22 and XB32. These have some similar features (Extra Bass, Live Sound mode, water and dust proof case, inter-speaker connectivity, lighting effects) but differ in speaker size, battery life and price. The largest (XB32) is 9.4 inches long, weighs 2 pounds and has two 48 mm speakers. The midsize (XB22) is 8 inches long, weighs 1.2 pounds and has two 42 mm speakers. The smallest (XB12) is 3.6 inches long, weighs 9 ounces pounds and has one 46 mm speaker. The XB32 costs about 1.5 times the XB22 and the XB12 costs about 40% less than the XB31. There are advantages to each but this review will concentrate on the XB22. After extensive testing of the Sony XB22 speaker in a wide variety of applications my conclusion is that this very compact unit has a superb combination of features, power and sound quality which surpass the vast majority of its competitors in its price range. First, consider that the Sony XB22 is packed with a great set of features and specifications: • It is very compact, 8” wide, 2.9” tall and 2.7” deep • Weight: 1pound, 3 ounces and feels very solidly built • Shock-resistant: Survives 4 foot drop test • IP67 rating: Water proof in up to 3 feet of fresh or salt water for 30 minutes • Dust proof and easy to clean • Two 42 mm (1.7 inch) Mica Reinforced Cellular speakers plus two passive radiators • Amplifier provides 4 watts of power for each speaker (at 4 ohms) • Frequency range: 300 Hz to 15,000 Hz • Total Harmonic Distortion of just 1% • Sensitive microphone for use as speaker phone • Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity with 33 foot range • NFC for easy connections • Mini jack (3.5 mm) input (to connect other sources) • Power supply: lithium ion battery, micro USB recharge cable included, full charge time 4 hours • Battery life up to 12 hours (6 hours at maximum volume level) • Lighting effects can be turned off entirely to extend battery life • Sony Music Center app may be used to control most speaker functions • One year parts and labor warranty The XB22 differs in a few respects from last year’s XB21. It is slightly longer and the exterior has a fabric grill surface over the front speaker area. The rest of the exterior has a rubberized surface compared to the all fabric surface of the XB21 with the “Sony” name more prominent. The sides are flatter than the XB21 making vertical placement more stable. It also has a separate control for the “Live” DSP setting. The back has an open grill which seems to improve the performance of the passive radiators and deepens the bass. The sound produced by this speaker is distortion-free and steady at both low and very high volumes. The twin speakers are slightly angled toward each other to increase the stereo effect and it has a DSP for a “3D Live Sound Mode.” The XB22 has considerable bass due to the passive radiators employed. It also has a feature called “Extra Bass” which increases the bass significantly which you can activate if you really want to emphasize the deep tones in your music but I found that the normal setting produced a better overall sound for most music. The Bluetooth connection was effortless and solid from every device I tried (phone, tablet, laptop). It held the connection steady up to about 35 feet from my music source. One nice bonus feature is the ability to connect a chain of up to 100 Sony speakers which can extend your music throughout a large home or provide multiple sound sources in the same room. Another use for the speaker is to create a high quality speaker phone by linking it to your phone – much better sound than using your phone’s tiny speakers for conversations. The built-in microphone was very effective for this purpose. The bottom line on this sturdy, waterproof speaker is that is provides excellent sound quality from a very compact body at a very affordable price. I endorse it without reservation!

Nice and Portable
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker combines Sony's consistently excellent sound quality in a small and portable speaker that is the perfect size to take on the go. Pros: - Battery life is excellent. Even with heavy use you will not have to charge it often. - Great price for a quality product - The smaller size makes it nice and portable without sacrificing sound quality Cons: - It won't fill a large area with sound, but it is designed more for small rooms or intimate outdoor locations. If you are looking for a speaker to take on the go or provide audio in a kitchen or bedroom, this is a great option to consider.

Q: QuestionHow far away does the Bluetooth work for this? The description says “from across the room,” but not how large of a room. Wondering if this could work for my son in his room directly above the charging station where his phone has to stay.
