Good sound in a great package let down by battery

SRS-XB23 09 January 2021 by Tyke13 (United Kingdom)

I received this speaker as a present. A lot of research was undertaken to look at reviews regarding performance. Very impressed with the package but it is let down by its lack of battery life. John Lewis stated it has up to 12 hours . I have not managed more than 4 . Very disappointing.

Solid price/performance value

SRS-XB23 01 June 2023 by LukasV (United Kingdom)

For its price it does offer quite good sound while used with its app-equalizer. Native bass boost is a bit too much, but with slight tweak it can offer good sound for Your indoor/outdoor activities, despite its inability to lay down horizontally in reasonable angle, reffering to its stereo speaker position. It just rolls so speakers are pointing up, not toward the desired angle. You can flip it vertically, but it creates weird sound distortion. Well, in similar price point You can buy jbl flip 6 which offers much better sound dynamics and better bass. You should step up sony ;)

Good bass performance, but less treble

SRS-XB23 11 April 2023 by DJLP (United Kingdom)

It's my first SONY bluetooth speaker. It was a special offer, so I thought: Let's try it. Design is good, workmanship is OK, bass performance is very good (in relation to price and size). Unfortunately the treble performance is poor. It's OK for radio music or whatching some movies or playing games, but not for those who like to enjoy and appreciate music with all details - because there are none. You can adjust the soundquality with the app (seperately available), but I have so many apps, that I don't wanna have more. I also have a JBL Flip Essential 2 and a JBL Charge Essential 2. Both offer a better sound quality with more details. Don't understand me wrong. This SONY is a good speaker, but in my opinion the JBL are better balanced and they don't need any apps to pimp up the sound quality.

SRS-XB23/BC E 03 November 2022 by IzwanAng (Malaysia) Verified Purchaser Verified

Ive been using the speaker approximately 1 month+-, the speaker sounds very good and my satisfaction level 11/10. Honestly ive been looking for another brand like harman,jbl at first. I just walk around, window shopping and noticed sony centre at Ipoh parade. Not intentionally to buy yet. But 1 of your promoter/ sales representative name Mr Nelson welcome me with an open arm and keep explaining the product and demo it to me with a full blast sound. Im not going to hold anymore. this speaker catches my heart after the demonstration. At that time the mall too noisy with event organised at ground floor. which convinced me more this is very good product. Please do give Mr Nelson from sony centre ipoh parade perak some complementary give or any complementary token to him to show my appreciation. You guys have a very good sales representative. Im in this marketing line too. So im very happy when im being a customer and get such treat by him. And i hope to see/meet more guys like him. He do his best to promote the product to me till im convinced to buy it. Will come again to sony centre next time and ill promote among my friend to go there too!

High quality sound speaker

SRS-XB23 27 September 2022 by Sakuraldn (United Kingdom)

Purchased this as needed a replacement for my Urban Ears speaker. Had originally wanted to stick with the same brand but was persuaded to try the Sony due to its competitive price as think it's a slightly older model. It lives up to its name and has extra bass. But I prefer to switch the bass off and have been impressed with the quality of the sound. It improves the sound quality of a tablet or mobile sound as well as increases the volume.

Sony SRS-XB23

SRS-XB23/GC E 14 September 2022 by Ben Lucas (Malaysia) Verified Purchaser Verified

Pros - Its a good speaker, good sound, looks great, build and design quality is good, waterproof and dustproof. Cons - battery is lacking, stamina mode is basically unusable, soundstage could be better, the bass could be better honestly considering the size and dual resonators. Looks like a 360 degree surround sound speaker but its only front facing. But overall happy with my purchase.

After a full day of usage, my wife and I both enjoy this new speaker very much for a wide variety of content from music to audiobooks to youtube. The sound quality is of course limited by it's size, but the soundstage is extremely impressive and the volume carries wherever you move in or out of the room the speaker is located. Haven't had time to really test how durable it's supposed to be, but my wife and I fully intend to enjoy it outdoors when our children are playing outside.
