Reviewers from Pcmag have found the following[***]:
Sony's SRS-XB23 is the least expensive of the company's three new waterproof models. The cylindrical speaker measures 3.0 by 8.6 inches (HW) and is available in black, blue, green, red, or white. Both ends of the speaker house passive radiators to help pump out extra bass response.

Reviewers from Rtings have found the following[***]:
The Sony SRS-XB23 is a cylindrical speaker that can be used in a mono or stereo mode. While its soundstage isn't as wide as other 360° speakers like the Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM 2, it still feels spacious. The Sony is a better choice for outdoor use as it's better-built, and it supports voice assistants, unlike the Marshall.

It will launch this summer for $99 (around £80, AU$150) and will be available in five colors: Coral Red, Olive Green, Light Blue, Taupe and Black. This is the first year the Extra Bass speakers are using USB Type C connectors instead of Micro-USB.
