    • Ok so this is my first decent quality Blue Tooth Speaker purchase.
    • Sound quality is not as good as I wished
    • Good quality sound and holds charge good.
    • It's like judging the quality of a car based on chrome trim and leather seats instead of acceleration curve, top speed, MTBF, or fuel economy - Completely irrational

    • The sound quality is wonderful, way better than me playing music off of my phone.
    • This is great so far, easy set up and the sound quality is good.
    • Worth the price and the sound quality is amazing!
    • So, if you're looking for good-looking speaker with nice bass and long-life battery, you should go with Sony SRS XB41, if you need cleaner sound quality, I would probably go with JBL Xtreme.
    • The SRS-XB31 was super easy to set up and the audio quality is amazing
    • Sound quality is really good, easily rivaling that of our gen 1 Echo and UE Boom.
    • The sound quality is good to very good
    • It is either defective, or the quality of this speaker is definitely NOT worth the hefty price tag
    • Love the sound quality, but the battery life is horrible 2 hours tops then the sound cuts to about a level 2 and can barely hear it
    • Great sound and great quality
    • Treble: Crisp / Clean soundAll of the sound quality measurements you can correct via the app
    • Overall, it's not terrible sound and it will do the job, but for such a large device, as compared to some others, I expected better sound quality.
    • The sound quality is superb
    • Great spacial quality and more bass than I expected.- Sounds great at low volume levels but this puppy can get loud- Excellent dynamic
    • I love the quality of the sound, the bass comes clear.
    • Very nice, great sound quality and price.

    • It's like judging the quality of a car based on chrome trim and leather seats instead of acceleration curve, top speed, MTBF, or fuel economy - Completely irrational
    • We use it everyday, the sound quality is outstanding and the lights are fun to watch as they move along to the songs
    • Superior sound quality was our standard...not just "loud for loud sake"
    • Sound quality is decent
    • The sound quality seems fine to me and is on par with other speakers of this price point, in my opinion
    • It's a cinch to pair with an IPhone and the sound quality is good
    • Great sound great quality and a steal for the price
    • This really is best for something like a party-type situation where the quality of the sound is not as important as just having some music.
    • Purchased thie speaker to use on the TV in the camper, but the quality is so good, I am using it for all of the music too.
    • Sound quality is really good, easily rivaling that of our gen 1 Echo and UE Boom.
    • The sound quality is really good
    • The sound quality when linking the XB21 and the XB41 was terrible.
    • but if you disable it the sound quality becomes quite good
    • I would say the music can fill up a room equivalent to a Google Home device but with slightly better sound quality
    • The sound quality is very good and I can hear it despite lots of white noise without sounding
    • impress your friends” quality
    • The sound quality is fantastic
    • I have been using Sony portable wireless Bluetooth speakers since SRS-X3 came out and love both the quality of the hardware and the sound.
    • It can easily fit in a backpack or purse and can just as easily be set on the corner of a desk or in a room and fill the space with great sound quality music.
    • This speaker feels gimmicky and lacks the sound quality I'd expect from a Sony product in this price range.
    • For the size, it puts out good quality sound
    • The sound quality is very good with excellent bass for such a small speaker
    • For this type of speaker, it produces a nice quality sound.
    • A few days after purchasing and enjoying the heck out of this speaker (excellent sound quality!), I decided to listen to MFM Podcast in the shower
    • Exemplary build quality- Water, rust and dust/dirt proof (
    • I have tried several models ranging from $30 to $100 and this is by far the best quality and sound.
    • Sound quality is what bugs me the most.
    • Its sound quality is better than JBL charge 3 (my own opinion)
    • This is by far the best sound quality I've had from any Bluetooth speaker
    • I had not heard much from Sony in recent years (having had much experience with their brand in the 90s and early 2000s), so I did not know what to expect, not knowing if quality had improved or declined
    • However, if you are looking for a midsize speaker that has awesome sound quality and plenty of power, this is it
    • We have echo/dots in every room, but the sound quality isn't the best for when you want to immerse yourself in music while you cook (or so he tells me, personally I find the dots fine
    • The sound quality of this speaker is excellent
    • Excellent sound quality for the price and the RGB light features are incredible
    • The sound quality is amazing and totally worth the price tag.
    • The EQ is pretty limited and I found that the best sound quality was achieved by merely cranking the three EQ settings all the way up to max.
    • But its fantastic sound quality is what make this speaker special
    • This Sony speaker on the other hand has enough guts and sound quality to turn the downstairs of my house into party central (not that the cats would ever allow that, lol)
    • If you blast it at full volume it will distort but you can still get it pretty loud without losing any quality.
    • The sound quality here is just fine
    • On my first test run, I had played it with the light show going the full time, as well as with the above average sound level
    • One issue I did have and found that other people have, though, is that it will stutter as if it’s buffering about once per song when connected to an Android phone running 6.0 Marshmallow, which admittedly is a few years old now
    • Usually, I would recommend this option; however, the flat line on the EQ did sound as good as if you elevated each of the three areas (treble, midtone, bass) in some successive pattern
    • If you pour water on your speaker you don't have to worry as it will bead off the thing.
    • We use it for background music at home as well as when my daughters are practicing routines with their music.
