Sony - SRS-XB23 Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Light Blue

Great sound good long lasting charge, sound fills the room and sounds great especially for the price

AMAZING PRODUCT WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! LOST IT AND I MISS IT SO MUCH GREAT FOR RIVER FLOATING

Great portable Bluetooth speaker with excellent sound quality, but a bit pricey, it sounded good I ended up purchasing a 2nd one to pair it together which is so cool, and it actually pairs as a left and right when synced together. Your capable of syncing up to 100 of these little speakers at once, but 2 seems to be fine at 100 bucks each. If you use these at full volume be sure to plug them in while doing so , because they will drain charge quickly, while plugged in they'll keep playing.

Excellent sound for the price I paid. Bring it to work everyday... last the entire day playing music.

The packaging is pretty straight forward, no frills, cardboard surrounds inside to hold the speaker in place inside the box. Hey it just had to get to the store and then home with no damage. First impression: Overall the speaker has a good look and feel. Powering it up. I was able to easily pair it to my iPhone and checking the battery I found it was at half charge. Pulling up my favorite play list produced a nice clean sound with solid bass at the initial setting. One place I plan on using this is at work, so I tried turning the volume down to a level I'd use there and found it still retained some good bass and I could still make out the vocals. Next I tried making a Skype call and the person on the other end couldn't hear the music, but the level was still acceptable for me. The controls are what you'd expect: Power, volume up and down, play(call)/pause, Battery and Bluetooth Pairing. There's also a Party button for playing across multiple compatible speakers. I tried pressing the Party button with only this one speaker and that resulted in the loss of the connection with my phone. Not sure there's any use for this with a single speaker but will have to check the instructions. I also downloaded the Sony Music Center app which gave me access to the Extra Bass settings, a small equalizer (bass/mid/treb), and the ability to change between mono and stereo. There are also some Power Options available (Bluetooth Standby, Stamina and Battery Voice Levels). My preference was with the mid boosted slightly to bring the vocals out a little more with the Extra Bass on. There are three ports on the bottom end of the speaker which act as a bass port at the bottom end while the speaker is standing up. The bottom also has a rubberized coating, which should help keep it from "walking" across a surface while playing. It says you can also lay it down, but this speaker is a round tube. If the surface you're placing it on isn't level, the only thing that will keep it from rolling is the lanyard/hanging loop at the top if you initially place it in this manner. If the surface gets bumped hard enough or shifts I can see this rolling right off the edge. This is the only knock I have on the speaker. I didn't really notice much of a difference in the sound standing up or on the side and it will take up less space standing so that's how I expect to use it most of the time, unless its hanging in my tent. Overall the sound for the size of the speaker is pretty good. If you're looking for a party/dance speaker it may not be quite big enough, but for a small group sitting around a fire pit or hanging out at the beach/pool the Sony XB23 will fit the bill nicely. By day it will be on my desk at the office and I can see it travelling with me on camping trips and tailgating with friends.

The speaker is OK love the design it's pretty loud for its size though what's the battery capacity could give it like 20 hours of play by time rather than just 12 Sounds good up to 60 or 70% after that it struggles a bit Very convenient Fitch in cup holders and backpacks and can hang in various areas no problem works well with the app to change sound, But honestly this thing should be around $60 not 100!

Nice speaker so far, I brought it to the beach and it’s nice it has a string so I tied it to our umbrella.
