    This has a really great sound quality for such a small Bluetooth speaker. The extra bass is not over powering where it crackles and loses the quality when it goes to a higher volume. And so far the built in battery lasts awhile I'd say maybe a week depending on how heavy you use it. It has an option where you buy the right side speaker and pair them both so it's a surround sound. Would I use it for a party yah if it was indoors but you would need Sony'S bigger version of this if you wanted to have a party outside. Other then that it's a wonderful speaker to have I'd recommend it. Any downsides not really at this point.

    I compared this speaker to others in the same price range and this one had the best sound with bass. It's an easy hook up to our devices (Galaxy and Apple). The battery life is great and I can take it into any room with ease. I'm very happy with this purchase.

    I originally wanted to purchase a Bose speaker and ran into problem after problem with them not wanting to connect or cutting out after they connected. I turned it back in and tried a different one 3 times before finally giving up and going with this one. I was pleasantly surprised, easy to use and great sound. I was surprised by the amount of base that it produces. I am very happy with my purchase.

    Love this speaker. It's louder than you'd think for the size and I love the bass. Good sound quality. I'd been listening to music through my iPhone and this is a huge upgrade in sound quality (obviously). Battery lasts for days. Got it on sale for $99.

    Bought this to play in my VW Bus rather than install a stereo system and I am delighted with the volume, extra bass and overall quality of the sound. Great price compared with more expensive Bose models and after comparing I actually prefer this!

    I purchased this for my work truck since I don't have Bluetooth. It sounds ok. When I use it inside my home or in the garage it sounds way better. I got a good deal on it so I can't complain too much. I listen to a variety of music and the highs are pretty loud. The bass is fair but sounds good for a little speaker If your looking for something decent that won't break your wallet this will do the job. I'm thinking about buying a second one to add more sound so I dont have to blast it too much in my work truck

    I bought this as a gift for my GF, and she loves it. The battery life is great, it's very portable, and the music is pretty loud. It syncs up easily w/ any bluetooth phone, and we've used it for a couple parties this summer. Easily a good choice.

    We had original visited Best Buy with the intention of buying a specific brand of speaker. However we were greeted by an extremely pleasant female associate that gave us pros/cons about several speakers that we demoed. We really liked the sound of the Sony speaker since it had more bass and the sound quality did not diminish as the volume was turned up. We happened to be going to a bridal shower and decided to try out the speaker, People were so impressed with the quality sound that the host actually went out to buy the same item so that the younger kids (9-11 year olds) could listen to there own music in the garage! The bride-to-be also went out and purchased the same speaker that next week. Great success in recommending to others!! Many thanks to the sales associate!

    Clean, crisp sound with lots or little bass. Getting everything talking to one another is a bit confusing and sometimes hard. Good battery life. Lots of bang for your buck!

    Bought this out of necessity as temporary measure. My car sound system went out and cost $1K + to replace. While waiting for an upcoming appt to fix and traveling a distance by car, I used it as portable sound. Sounds fabulous. Charged up with adapter and used bluetooth to play music from a cell device. Also, there's is an option to hook up directly to a device. I've played movies from a device connected to this and have enjoyed the sound! You can take device from room to room, to beach...poolside etc. The only thing... don't misplace the charging adapter. Keep everything together so you won't panic like I did. And don't let your young adult children borrow it...or you may have a hard time getting it back from them. LOL

    I purchased this speaker roughly a month ago and I love it. Great sound, love the portability, and battery life. I also love that this particular speaker has a button so you can add bass if you wish to do so.

    I was searching for some speakers to connect to my Echo Dot that would have good sound. I looked at all the speakers that Bust Buy had to offer and settled on this one. In fact multiples sync together for stereo sound, so I purchased two. The sound is very rich even with the extra bass button off. Good clear highs and thumping bass when you want it. I have noticed that you can distort the bass when volume is turned all the way up but it is fine at one or 2 pushes of the volume decrease button. I have yet to run a battery down in one but they mostly stay plugged in. Bluetooth connection is very easy and pairing two for stereo sound is as well. Great little speakers for the money. I would definitely recommend them.

    I researched many portable Bluetooth devices, even once not sold at best buy and found this device very comparable. The sound is excellent for my living room and I feel the extra bass mode is not something I use very often because the regular sound mode is good enough. The battery life is crazy long and the quality is too notch. Waterproof makes it nice for the kitchen s well.

    A friend and I were heading to Mexico for a vacation on the beach. We wanted a good small speaker to pair with an Ipod to listen to music in our room and on the beach. After listening to a few in the store and talking to another customer who was a dance teacher and used this speaker plus one of the sales guys who helped compare a few, I chose this one. It's an excellent product with big sound. I'd definitely recommend it!

    The sound is great. It's very easy to pair with your Bluetooth devices. The extra bass boost is nice, but for most of my musical selections I don't even need the boost setting.. A nice convenience is that the speaker has a USB port to charge your phone. You have to use the separate Sony AC wall charger, but the device stores a lot of power. You can take it with you to use as a backup power source.

    If your looking for good quality sound, good sound volume, good price and good battery life then look no more. The Sony - Srs-xb3 Portable Wireless Speaker - Blue is a good choice. It comes in a few colors as well! It's not a beats but it's still pretty good for the price. The speaker is Bluetooth, it has multiple ways of charging it: USB and WALL PLUG. If you have multiple speakers or have a missing speaker then your in luck, the sony speaker can be used as a RIGHT and LEFT speaker. If you have a smart phone then it has a fast easy Bluetooth connection, simply put your phone on top of the speaker and it will automatic pair the devices together. It's a neat feature!!!

    I was looking for a portable Bluetooth enable speaker and this was one of many I was looking at for the price range. After reading reviews here and other websites - and finally auditioning the unit itself on BestBuy floor display. I decided to get this. I've had it for a little over 6 weeks and this little speaker can pack a punch. It's been to the beach numerous times - love the fact it splash proof - I don't have to worry about water issues. And it definitely last a long time with a full charge. I highly recommend this to everyone looking for a great portable speaker.
