Recommend the speaker if you just want good sound and bass, but don’t recommend it if you was wanting to use the extra features of the speaker and if that’s you deciding factor between $150 and another good speaker with as good quality for $60. the quality of the speaker is what I expected with Sony but SonyMusicCenter really ruins their reputation with me if I see “extra features in app”. and just a helpful tip, don’t lock your phone while in SonyMusicCenter, eventually you’ll have to restart your phone to even get it to work because it bugs out. Finally have it working and your settings ready to go!? Well have fun when you lock your phone and go back into SonyMusicCenter because it’s unsynced again. There’s a party mode where you can bang on the speaker to play drums and stuff and I love it! Gives you something to tap while listening to music but half 75% of the time SonyMusicCenter doesn’t recognize the device even when I’m still playing music, so I have to close SonyMusicCenter, turn bt off and on, reconnect because it doesn’t try to automatically, then go into SonyMusicCenter crossing my fingers, and half the time it shows 3 extra speakers saying “need to be setup” but still doesn’t connect to mine. It’s always losing its sync and goes to default. ok that’s ok if it actually would work 1/4 if the time.

I just bought the srs xb31 for $150, I love the speaker but you must have SonyMusicCenter running and Bluetoothed in order to use any extra features.
