This speaker cranks with volume that easily reaches several rooms. Has powerful low end bass that you can turn off, with good mid and high ranges for a well rounded balance. Aesthetically the lighting is a fun touch. I chose it in store comparing it's sound directly with other brands. The speakers that beat it's sound quality cost more than double. I got it on sale at $79.00.

Spent more than an hour at the store listening/deliberating between Sony and Bose. Sony hands down won! Features like easy one touch pairing with my Samsung phone, long battery life, power bank charger, rubbery case is well made than Bose's plastic exterior, lights are awesome and classier compared to JBL's tacky lava-like lights and the SOUND is SUPERB!!! Was able to play it out of the box. Did not download the app, very satisfied with the quality of the sound. At max volume, sound frequencies like highs, mids and lows are maintained and does not get distorted thus I found no need to have an equalizer from the app. Always take into consideration the source ( Pandora, Spotify, Youtube, Mp3, etc ) you're getting the music from because it's crucial to the overall output of the sound. I listen to Pandora and recordings are consistently crisp, full and clear. Some sites have inferior recordings, no matter how much tweaking you do with an equalizer it will still produce an inferior, muffled and distorted sound. Another feature I've noticed is when paused for a considerable amount of time, it turns itself off. Compared to the XB40, XB30 IMO delivered a crispier, undistorted sound at max volume. XB40 was slightly louder, a given. Could not be happier with my choice. Growing up Sony was already a household name in quality and performance. With the proliferation of newer and good brands in the market today, Sony has retained its global reputation of excellence in electronics technology. Time spent at Best Buy wasn't wasted and was on sale. Lastly, the red is gorgeous! More like red orange.

This speaker can put out strong volume, bass, and overall sound quality. Long battery life span and it charges quite well (compared to certain speakers and even phones) If you want to listen to music differently and hear certain sounds only heard while wearing high quality headphones, this is a must buy for you!
