Sony SRS-XB32 Portable Bluetooth Speaker: Compact Wireless Party Speaker with Multicolor Lights and Flashing Strobe - Enhanced Audio for Phone Calls - Waterproof and Shockproof Bluetooth Speakers - Black Review

I bought this speaker to replace my JBL Flip 4 which I gave to my sister. I was attracted by the high quality streaming and the cool lighting. While the lights definitely met my expectations, the sound fell short. By default, it's very bass-heavy and low frequencies tend to blend with higher frequencies. It sounds ok for hip hop rap and electronic music (and even the genres I don't prefer) but falls completely apart when you want to listen to virtually anything else. It completely destroys…

Some people might buy it for the colorful lights and strobe lights based on the music being played, but I'll report two things: sound quality and build quality. And all I can say is that they are both AWESOME in this very affordable speaker. The bass that comes out of this thing defies what you would expect from something of this size and the overall sound quality for all types of music is just great in my opinion. So good that I'm completely surprised. I want to rip it apart to see how they do

At $180 it was a higher end value of what I wanted to spend since I bought it just before vacation and I could have used cash while I was there.

They don't look bright in the photo, but they set the mood perfectly at night…

I use this as speakers for my desktop computer connected to the AUX port with an audio cable. I'm not interested in many functions. I was concerned about the colored light display but was happy to learn that it's easy to turn it off. I haven't downloaded the Sony Music Center app. I haven't tried the feature that lets you smack an object to make interesting noises. The build quality appears to be excellent. The product is a good solid weight even with a small rubber/plastic flap covering the…

I did a lot of research before purchasing this speaker. I was excited to receive it. I've been using it for 2 days and I'm very happy with it. I will keep it as it is ok. I wish I had the larger version of the XB41. While the sound is good when it's directly in front of you and in a small space indoors, it's a different story outside. I have a very large spa/pool called the Swim Spa. It is 8 1/2 feet x 15 feet tall. I put this speaker on a deck near one end and the volume was at 100%. Standing…
