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.

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.

SRSXB23/L 25 May 2022 by BobMatthew39 (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
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.

Good sound
SRS-XB23 24 March 2022 by Chair Face (United Kingdom)
Was looking to buy one of these for a while, read some reviews on a number of makes and models and was torn between this and the Flip5. Both had good reviews and write ups. I'm happy with my choice. It's easy to use and good looking. Quick to charge and will last easily 7_8 hours. I tend to charge it twice a day as it gets used for most of every day (fed up with tv) Price wise, I got lucky and hit on a sale but had I had paid the regular price I still would regard it as good value for money.

I bought two of these speakers and paired them, superb performance. The only slight disappointment; I was unable to successfully add via the Party Mode - my Sony Sound Bar HT-SF150. That was no big deal, if they had connected it would have been the icing on a superb cake.

I’m super happy with it. I bought the JBL 4 for the same price. Was smaller and nothing nothing not even close to sound quality. This one fills a room. It’s deep and great for the price!!!! Very pleased. Want to buy more lol. Also color is gorgeous and I like that it’s larger than the JBL because I need it for my office. Very good quality sound.
