I bought it 3 years ago and definitely put it up to the test, I used it for a shower speaker for about 2 years got it drenching wet hundreds of times and it still works perfectly it might not be as loud and bright like it was before but it's still a total champ. Best Bluetooth speaker for its price range

Great sound! Very easy to connect. It’s pretty heavy for Bluetooth speakers. Hopefully that means a better construction.

Great features

Solid portable sound

J man . 1 year ago

Yes, I'd recommend this product.

This is a great speaker. Portable but heavy. Sound is great. I enjoy the base heavy sound. Battery life is not 24 hrs if u are playing with decent volume and lights on but no speaker actually does what is says for battery life. I would recommend.

same sound as jbl charge 3

rextor . 1 year ago

not really satisfied with the sound. it sounds like it is only a jbl charge 3 level.

Sony North America Customer Support - 1 year ago

Hi rextor, Thank you for your review, and we are really sorry if the sound of our XB43 didn't live up to your expectations. We greatly appreciate your sound comparison between this speaker and another speaker brand. For the sound quality, the XB43 is specifically designed for audio clarity throughout its volume range. This is something our music-loving customers appreciate most. That being said the XB43 also gets very loud for its size and audio precision. We want to make sure you are getting the most out of your speaker. If you haven't yet, please make sure you have downloaded the Sony Music Center app. There you will find all sorts of tools like an equalizer to fine tune your XB43 and maximize the volume to your liking. Additionally, we recommended to use the speaker with a sufficient battery charge and keep the software up-to-date (through the Sony Music Center app) for optimum performance. You may also find different devices will perform better than others, as will different apps due to different types of audio compression and transmission. These steps might have changed your overall listening experience with the speaker.
