For those slickdeal future tellers...anyone think it's silly to buy an item like this a month away from black Friday? I feel like Bluetooth speakers are alwaysa big hit on Black Friday. But what are y'all thinking? to bite or wait for a better deal on black Friday...that is the question...

I went ahead the did the 43. Been wanting something to use on the gas golfcart and our current speaker just is too low to hear when moving. Hopefully this will be stronger and we can use it for Halloween and cruising the neighborhood.

This thing goes up to 86 decibel. It's very loud.

Mrsp on this is 2x. I've been monitoring the price, it's never 50% off unless you buy refurb.

Refurb from secondipity is really good. I got xm3 from them, and xb41. Both came like new.

And, this is the new model. You can buy used old model for $10 less on eBay than this but you are stuck with old battery, micro USB, and worse sound.

Whats the wattage on this, or the dbi? Seems like no one shows how loud a speaker is nowadays. I just went ahead and an ordered one. There's free returns, so why not.

Quote from Icemonkey :

Gymcaddy on youtube also compared it to the xb22s that i own. Wish i had waited for this years bc the sound is improved and it has type c. Did lose nfc though oddly. I always buy my.bluetooth speakers 7sed no qualms. Its just people return them a lot bc they buy them for a party and return or just return bc they don't see it as a necessity over what they already own

2020 also added aac codec instead of just sbc

One important note, you cant link these 2020 ones up to the 2019 and prior anymore. Its probably to do with them adding aac or something else under the hood

I will never understand why so much of Sony's mid-high end audio equipment doesn't come with LDAC support. Granted, these aren't headphones or earbuds, but surely they'd benefit from what is likely the best BT codec on the market.

I think the price of this 3 speaker in black friday will be 59.99 - 99.99 - for xb43 its will around 169.99-189.99 this just my guess. So this deal for me is really good.

Exactly my question, since they are selling it on eBay.
