    Sony SRS-XB31 Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker, Red (SRSXB31/R)

    • Sound quality is not as good as I wished
    • 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
    • I have tried several models ranging from $30 to $100 and this is by far the best quality and sound.
    • The sound quality is very good with excellent bass for such a small speaker
    • but if you disable it the sound quality becomes quite good
    • Sound quality is decent
    • 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
    • If you blast it at full volume it will distort but you can still get it pretty loud without losing any quality.
    • Treble: Crisp / Clean soundAll of the sound quality measurements you can correct via the app
    • 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.
    • This is great so far, easy set up and the sound quality is good.
    • Ok so this is my first decent quality Blue Tooth Speaker purchase.
    • I love the quality of the sound, the bass comes clear.
    • The SRS-XB31 was super easy to set up and the audio quality is amazing
    • 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
    • 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
    • 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
    • The sound quality is very good and I can hear it despite lots of white noise without sounding
    • Good quality sound and holds charge good.
    • 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)
    • The sound quality is wonderful, way better than me playing music off of my phone.
    • This is by far the best sound quality I've had from any Bluetooth speaker
    • For the size, it puts out good quality sound
    • This speaker feels gimmicky and lacks the sound quality I'd expect from a Sony product in this price range.
    • The sound quality when linking the XB21 and the XB41 was terrible.
    • 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.
    • I would say the music can fill up a room equivalent to a Google Home device but with slightly better sound quality
    • 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.
    • The sound quality of this speaker is excellent
    • Superior sound quality was our standard...not just "loud for loud sake"
    • 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
    • Sound quality is what bugs me the most.
    • Great spacial quality and more bass than I expected.- Sounds great at low volume levels but this puppy can get loud- Excellent dynamic
    • 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.
    • 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
    • But its fantastic sound quality is what make this speaker special
    • Quality sound, clear and sharp at high volumes
    • It's a cinch to pair with an IPhone and the sound quality is good
    • Worth the price and the sound quality is amazing!
    • The sound quality is superb
    • For this type of speaker, it produces a nice quality sound.
    • Its a great little item to have and the quality is great.
    • but if you disable it the sound quality becomes quite good

    • The sound quality is fantastic
    • Great sound and great quality
    • The sound quality is good to very good
    • The sound quality is really good
    • The sound quality is good
    • We use it everyday, the sound quality is outstanding and the lights are fun to watch as they move along to the songs
    • 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.
    • Great sound great quality and a steal for the price
    • Exemplary build quality- Water, rust and dust/dirt proof (
    • impress your friends” quality
    • 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
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • It is either defective, or the quality of this speaker is definitely NOT worth the hefty price tag
    • A great product with great sound quality
    • Its sound quality is better than JBL charge 3 (my own opinion)
    • sound quality is still very excellent.
    • 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
    • Sound quality is really good, easily rivaling that of our gen 1 Echo and UE Boom.
    • Very nice, great sound quality and price.
    • 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
    • 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
    • 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.
    • 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
