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.
