Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Update #2: I’m reading reviews saying it’s quiet... download the app and max out the EQ for low, mids & highs. It doubles the sound output. It doesn’t even distort the sound. It’s loud enough for me with regular settings though. 1 month update: I’ve had time to really enjoy this speaker. I want to talk about the battery life now. I wake up every morning at 4am to get ready for work. That’s when I unplug this speaker and turn it on. I play it softly in the morning. Until 4:50 when I set off for work. When I get to work my phone instantly returns to the xb43 the second I turn the key off. That’s where it starts playing 10 hours straight. Anywhere from 60% - 90% volume. I leave work and it’s at 70% battery still. After 10 straight hours! I don’t know how long it lasts on 100% volume with the lights on. It’s too loud. Our PM’s and President probably would ban all music if we were to blast it all day long. Now let me get back to the bass. The trick with the bass is to download the music center app and adjust the mids & highs to negative six to ten (-6 to -10) and adjust the lows to plus one or two (+1 or +2) that way the bass isn’t muddied and all you have to do is turn the speaker up louder to get massive op bass. Or put bass on 10 and the other on -10 to just slap xD (Old review): I’m not sure where to start with this thing. First of all the sound is on point. It sounds better than my cars speakers. The highs and mids are replicated beautifully. Now let me warn you about the bass. I don’t see anything extra about it. The bass is there. It creates the tones. It can replicate the bass from Kendrick Lamar’s “Swimming Pools.” Most portable speakers can’t even attempt to reproduce that low level of hertz bass line. It slaps but it’s a 7ish pound speaker so don’t expect to feel it in open spaces. If you listen in a confined space like the bathroom, the bass rocks. If your listening outdoors you can hear it. People will be impressed that this level of sound is coming from this sleek flashing bar. It’s very beautiful. It’s impressive. All my coworkers put away their speakers (Bose, JBL etc...) and downloaded the fiesta app and add songs to the queue. They like the sound of my speaker better than their equivalently priced bt speakers. I’m proud of my Sony.
