Fantastic sound

I previously bought other portable speakers,which went wrong within 5 months,i have a sony home speaker xp500 which is great,this portable speaker was more exspensive than i really wanted to spend,but i'm glad i spent abit more money because this a fantastic speaker,the sound is incredible & as with my home speaker you have access to sony music centre so you can customise the sound to your own taste,just pay a little extra & buy quality

Product great but updates poor

The product registration site is poor and broken down so don't bother. Good product let down by poor web update service.

Reasonable sound

I have had this product for just over a month. Had some difficulty connecting to a streaming device. Both only had pictures to guide the connection process. Once I got it working I was pleased with the sound quality.

Great product for the price!

Brought this nearly 2 months ago and only charged it 3 times. Great sound and works well in any room including the bathroom which is great when you're in the bath or shower. Highly recommended.

Wonderful bass yet produces clarity and sweetness. The Music Centre app can be used to enhance the treble region.

Good product but not enough extra bass

Good product but not enough 'extra' bass compared to the xb 30....it would be better if they just re-released that as its a better speaker by comparrison sound wise, plus the xb 30 sat well by design, the xb 23 topples over when upright in strong winds....close but no cigar....just re-release the xb 30 please????

Excellent portable wireless speaker

I bought this for myself as I have always been a Sony fan. This portable wireless speakers are superb. The sound quality is fantastic with the extra bass. Its clear, loud and brilliant. It works perfectly with the Sony Music Center app with all the controls (e.g. amend the sound controls, perform firmware updates, sync with other compatible speakers for party play, switch off product remotely etc.). I will definitely recommend this product.

Great sound goes anywhere

Discover the SRS-XB23
Explore some of the features and technologies that make the SRS-XB23 so special.

Enjoy powerful sound anywhere
Enjoy deep, punchy sound wherever you like with your EXTRA BASS speaker. Dual passive radiators work together with full-range speakers to enhance low-end tones, giving bass a boost.

Where will you take yours
Whether you're camping with friends or relaxing in the park, the compact and lightweight SRS-XB23 fits into your plans as easily as it fits into your bag.

Compact size
The SRS-XB23 fits perfectly in the cupholder of your camping chair-great for chilling out at open-air festivals.

X-Balanced Speaker Unit
Developed by Sony, the X-Balanced Speaker Unit achieves high sound quality and powerful sound pressure for a richer, deeper, more rewarding listening experience.

What is the X-Balanced Speaker Unit
Unlike the circular diaphragm in a conventional speaker unit, the newly developed X-Balanced Speaker Unit in the XB23 features a non-circular diaphragm.

Increasing sound pressure and reducing distortion
The unit's non-circular shape not only maximizes the area of speaker diaphragm, increasing sound pressure for more punchy bass-it also reduces driver excursion while maintaining the same sound pressure, resulting in less distortion.

Greater clarity and a wider sound stage
In addition, the unit's off-center design and optimized weight balance help to enhance clarity and widen the sound stage.

Mica Reinforced Cellular speaker cone and dust cap
The rigid and lightweight Mica Reinforced Cellular (MRC) speaker cone and dust cap contributes to the sound quality.

Side passive radiators
The layout of the side passive radiators has been optimized to reproduce clear bass sound.

Dustproof, waterproof, rustproof and washable
With an IP67 rating, you can take your speaker to the beach, the forest, the desert-the SRS-XB23 will keep on playing, no matter how dusty the surface. It's waterproof and salt-water resistant too-no worries by the sea or the pool-and there's no problem washing it either.

Built to last
The SRS-XB23 has undergone extensive shock testing to make sure it can withstand the inevitable knocks, bumps and scrapes that come with everyday use. Even if you drop it, the SRS-XB23 will keep on working.

Long battery life
Up to 12 hours of battery life means the SRS-XB23 can party even longer than you can. Even in EXTRA BASS mode, you can party for up to 10 hours.

Easy to use
The SRS-XB23 has been designed with convenience in mind, so you can enjoy music when and where you want to, no fuss.

Speakerphone for hands-free calls
The speakerphone function offers a convenient way to talk hands-free, whether it's a conference call for work or a chat with friends.

Get things booming with Party Connect
Enjoy the same song, multiplied, with Party Connect. Connect up to 100 compatible wireless speakers with BLUETOOTH technology and the music syncs up so everyone dances to the same beat.

Control the party with the Sony | Music Center app
Control the party from the dancefloor, with the Sony | Music Center app-select your favorite playlists, cue the next song, or change sound modes.

Stand it up or on its side
Whether you place it horizontally or vertically the SRS-XB23 sits securely so you can always find space for it, wherever you're partying. When placing it horizontally, you can switch from monoaural audio playback to stereo audio playback using the Sony | Music Center app.

USB Type-C port
Use a USB Type-C cable to charge the SRS-XB23.

Compact, lightweight and easy to carry, the SRS-XB23 combines punchy bass sound with a tough, durable, go-anywhere design.

Features

Handy, super-portable design
Compact and lightweight, the SRS-XB23 fits perfectly in the cupholder of your camping chair-great for chilling out at open-air festivals. And the convenient strap lets you hang your speaker in your tent or on the nearest tree-wherever you want to share your favorite beats.
