    Sony SRS-XB21 Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker, Red (SRSXB21/R)

    • Very nice, great sound quality and price.
    • The sound quality is good
    • For the size, it puts out good quality sound
    • The sound quality is very good and I can hear it despite lots of white noise without sounding
    • 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.
    • Sound quality is decent
    • A great product with great sound quality
    • Great sound and great quality
    • We use it everyday, the sound quality is outstanding and the lights are fun to watch as they move along to the songs
    • 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)
    • I have tried several models ranging from $30 to $100 and this is by far the best quality and 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
    • 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
    • I would say the music can fill up a room equivalent to a Google Home device but with slightly better sound quality
    • Treble: Crisp / Clean soundAll of the sound quality measurements you can correct via the app
    • Quality sound, clear and sharp at high volumes
    • Good quality sound and holds charge good.
    • Sound quality is not as good as I wished
    • Ok so this is my first decent quality Blue Tooth Speaker purchase.
    • 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
    • Great sound great quality and a steal for the price
    • 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.
    • It's a cinch to pair with an IPhone and the sound quality is good
    • Great sound, great quality, worth the money, fun!There are several things that this particular model Sony SRS-XB21 Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker will allow you to do with it, and you can control much of these features via the "Sony Music Center" app
    • Sound quality is really good, easily rivaling that of our gen 1 Echo and UE Boom.
    • This speaker feels gimmicky and lacks the sound quality I'd expect from a Sony product in this price range.
    • sound quality is still very excellent.
    • I love the quality of the sound, the bass comes clear.
    • 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.
    • The sound quality is good to very good
    • 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
    • It is either defective, or the quality of this speaker is definitely NOT worth the hefty price tag
    • 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 wonderful, way better than me playing music off of my phone.
    • Sound quality is really good, easily rivaling that of our gen 1 Echo and UE Boom.
    • The sound quality seems fine to me and is on par with other speakers of this price point, in my opinion
    • The sound quality when linking the XB21 and the XB41 was terrible.
    • 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.
    • I was listening to Van shoutin' out "Brown Eyed Girl" and decided to try that button for the first time--it was a great sound-quality boost
    • Superior sound quality was our standard...not just "loud for loud sake"
    • Sound quality is what bugs me the most.
    • 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
    • Great spacial quality and more bass than I expected.- Sounds great at low volume levels but this puppy can get loud- Excellent dynamic
    • 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
    • Worth the price and the sound quality is amazing!
    • This is great so far, easy set up and the sound quality is good.
    • The sound quality is really good
    • The sound quality is fantastic
    • The sound quality is superb
    • Exemplary build quality- Water, rust and dust/dirt proof (
    • 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.
    • but if you disable it the sound quality becomes quite good
    • impress your friends” quality
    • 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.
    • 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
    • But its fantastic sound quality is what make this speaker special
    • However, if you are looking for a midsize speaker that has awesome sound quality and plenty of power, this is it
    • 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
    • This is by far the best sound quality I've had from any Bluetooth speaker
    • but if you disable it the sound quality becomes quite good
    • The sound quality of this speaker is excellent
    • Its a great little item to have and the quality is great.
    • Its sound quality is better than JBL charge 3 (my own opinion)
    • Excellent sound quality for the price and the RGB light features are incredible
    • 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
    • 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
    • We use it for background music at home as well as when my daughters are practicing routines with their music.
    • If you pour water on your speaker you don't have to worry as it will bead off the thing.
    • 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
