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.
