There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I was going to buy a Bose, but took a chance on this one. I'm glad I did and saved about $70. This sounds great. It's nice to have a separate button for bass boost because it's a feature that I rarely use - it only sounds good in certain circumstances. You can also adjust the sound through the app, so you can tweak it to your preference (within reason).
The lights are fine, but not that interesting to me.. even late at night.
The best feature is its battery life. Rated at 24 hours, I haven't tested it to the end of the battery, but I have used this far more than my last one and still had 50% remaining.
There are 2 minor things that I don't like. 1) compared to my last bluetooth speakers, this doesn't have an independent volume adjustment from the bluetooth setting. My other bluetooth speakers had a volume level, and the bluetooth volume was separate. It's not a huge deal, but... what it does mean is that using the volume + and - on my iPhone is far less useful because the increment is too much. If it had independent volume, I could turn it down on the XB30, which would make the increment less for each click. As it is, I find myself having to use the slider instead (which means I have to pull it out of my pocket and look at it, rather than just using the buttons).
The other thing that surprised me is that it doesn't have a USB charger. I use this remotely.. I have USB chargers on 12v batteries in the two places I use this the most. But when it comes time to charge, I have to bring it to a 110v outlet. Curiously, the charging port is 5v, so it would mean they could throw in a USB adapter and have both options. Of course, I plan on making one, but I shouldn't have to. It's not the end of the world, but it is puzzling to me. This seems like something only an electronics giant like Sony would do. Old school thinking is that everything runs off of AC. But these days, USB ports are everywhere.
EDIT: this USB cable works for charging: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KPN1NKM/
I bought all the JBL models, sent them back. I bought a bunch of the Anker models and I sent them back. I finally went for this Sony model and have no reason to go elsewhere. I paid $73 for it, which was very affordable for me.
I will say this. I use this speaker outside while I jump rope every day. This review is largely based on that, as I have good sound equipment inside the house. The bass boost was very necessary for me since I wanted to hear the bass thump (helps keep my rhythm while jumping rope) and living on a farm with a lot of potential wind blowing across the farm field and/or farm equipment noise can drown out the music quickly.
The loudness of this speaker is great. It is able to compete with the wind under 10 mph (kind or hard to jump rope at higher winds anyhow). This speaker needs the bass boost for outside venues, or the "thump" will get drowned out quickly. For those of you who are less versed in how bass works, bass thumps when there is a good seal or containment of the soundwaves. For a headphone to have better bass, all you have to do is get earpads that seal the phones to your ear. This is why Beats have too much bass, the seal to the ears doesn't leak the soundwaves out. The fact that it still has bass outside, while not distorting the mids and highs much is a testimony to the engineering.
Yes there are snobs in these reviews who claim that you shouldn't like or want "boosted" bass... whatever... you like what you like. I hate boosted bass on my headphones because I have good amps and good headphones that will amplify that distortion and make it sound worse. I don't get that from this speaker. It doesn't sound distorted to me.
I did need to use the EQ from the Sony app to get it to sound the way I wanted. I think out of the box it was a little average sounding, but once I balanced some of it out, it really shines.
I went for the blue model which sells for a lot less than the other colors. I am about to buy a second pair to get some stereo sound for those days I have too much ambient sound for the speakers to compete with.
Edit: June 2018... I bought a second speaker... this thing is amazing in stereo sound. I bring them both everywhere outside when I'm working in the garden too. It does such a great job with outdoor venues. Indoor, it's great as well, though it barely needs volume with two of them. Outside, you will lose sound quality once you get past 10 yards or so. Just to put it in perspective.
The Good:
Great Battery Life
High quality materials & Durable feel (Soft to the touch silicone shell)
Light Weight
Loud and Clear music with very little distortion
Lighting Effects & Strobe are cool in a dark room
The Bad:
USB port and power plug location not practical.
Uses special Sony charger
Bought a few for the friends and family over Christmas. It will be fun to connect them together when we all gather at the next family party.

Compré la bocina de importación y me llegó en aproximadamente 4 días en un buen empaque
En cuanto a la bocina está esamblada de un material que si bien evita que se resbale se ensucia rápidamente, pero es resistente y se limpia fácil
El sonido de la bocina es excelente tiene un buen balance y se escucha una separación estéreo, los graves es en donde en el modo Xtra bass alcanza a distorsionar en el volumen máximo , pero con la app música center se puede ecualizar o con el ecualizador interno de la fuente se puede cambiar,fuera de eso los graves son buenos , los agudos se escuchan bien no tiende a mezclar los sonidos.
Depende de la fuente el audio es distinto, la probé un una fuente de salida en códec sbc 44khz,16bits y aac 96,32bits y se alcanza a escucha una diferencia en el sonido.
Los efectos de luz son buenos y se pueden configurar por medio de la aplicación de música Center.
La duración de la batería es buena en volumen máximo alcanzo las 5 horas y 45 minutos aproximadamente y a un nivel medio alcanzo las casi 21 horas, depende de la fuente de audio, el volumen y los efectos de luz
Lo único malo que le veo es que no tiene radio y no se puede reproducir música por USB .

If you don't mind spending a few extra dollars, you can't go wrong with this speaker.
No regrets choosing this one!
It has the right size and battery life.
The lights are a neat feature, but do not seem to directly affect the battery life at all. With or without lights, it goes just as long.
What I really like, is the sound. Not only does it sound good from default with nice bass, but the Sony Music Center app lets you control exactly how it plays your tunes.
Well done on this one, Sony!
En cuanto al envío fue muy rápido y todo llegó bien.
