Enjoy big sound with the super-compact SRS-XB100 wireless speaker, offering powerful, clear sound, an updated IP67 waterproof and dustproof design and up to 16 hours of battery life.

Title: Compact speaker with USB power and clear sound, reasonably priced.
Review: This compact and enjoyable speaker offers a range of features at a very reasonable price. It comes with Bluetooth connectivity and some unique features like covers for the ports to protect the unit when outdoors. The device feels sturdy and appears to be designed to withstand rough handling, making it suitable for outdoor use. I appreciate the USB power option, which eliminates the need for inconvenient connectors and mini-USB cables. The speaker delivers clear and well-balanced sound with a good range that travels effectively. It also provides excellent battery life, which is a hallmark of Sony products. Overall, I highly recommend this speaker.

Title: Great quality sound in a small package...
Review: I use this to connect to my TV when I want sound up close to me that does not bother others in the house...it works great for that. It's very compact and does not take up much space. It connects easily to my Samsung TV. Sound quality for that use is excellent. And while I'm sure it would do well on a patio or in a room playing music where the environment is not too noisy, this is not going to boom sound at higher volumes like Sony's or others' larger speakers. If you want that kind of volume, this is not the "droid you are looking for." Battery life is very good...I haven't run it to when it "dies," but I do typically run it for 10-12 hours without recharging.Well made - I've dropped it several times and no damage.Sony quality in a small package!

Title: Great value
Review: Very robustly built and gets pretty loud. Though I wish it did get a little louder, and the bass is pretty muddy

Title: Highly recommend these little speakers as a Stereo pair combined with a storage case!
Review: I have had a few months time enough to evaluate this speaker or should I say speakers; I purchased two of them for the ability to have stereo. I got them to replace my failed JBL Flip 5 Waterproof speaker. I could have just purchased the latest JBL Flip 6 but decided to try the Sonyâs instead. In comparison I would say the bass and battery life were better on the JBL 5. But the Sonyâs have grown on me. They do have great sound and good bass as well as hearing beautiful separated stereo. The battery life is about 6 hours and not 12 has they claim. Although they do charge up very quickly. Setting up bluetooth connections was tricky making them sync for stereo. An easier way to connect is using the free Sony App âMusic Centerâ which connects them with ease. Once connected, they can be used with any other App on your phone. One troubling thing was carrying them as a pair. There is no linkage to hold them together and there is no Sony case designed to hold them as a pair. After full research on this I found that the dimensions of the JBL 5 resembled a similar shape and size as a pair. I purchased one of the âLebakort Hard Case Compatible with JBL Flip 5â (slender but longer for accessories with a carrying handle) and also bought a Hermitshell Hard Travel Case Fits JBL Flip 5â (shorter but fatter for accessories with a secure loop and Carabiner). Both cases are a perfect, comfortable fit including the charging cables. I highly recommend these little speakers as a Stereo pair combined with a storage case. Love them very much and Iâm sure you will too.

Title: Light Weight, but Great Sound.
Review: I was having problems synching my old Amazon Tap, so I replaced it with this Sony speaker.Bluetooth synch was instantaneous and the sound quality and volume range are excellent.I use it while in the shower, and it comes with a wrist strap that you can use to easily affix it to a towel bar or whatever. This is an EXCELLENT product.

Title: Quiet until you get to 50% Volume, then it's fantastically loud!
Review: TLDR: It's a fantastic little speaker for the price! Perfect if your laptop or phone speaker just isn't cutting it.Long Version:I needed something for listening to music or watching youtube videos as I'm cooking or cleaning. My phone and laptop just can barely keep up as I move around cooking or cleaning a few feet away. This speaker is great for filling the house with volume!While I try not to push speakers and amps much past 50% volume, to avoid overwhelming or over heating them. The volume of the Sony XB13 remains gentle and quiet until you get to 50% volume. Then it scales up rapidly just like you see in the Rting review. At first, I thought it was extremely quiet compared to the JBL Go 3.It was only after writing my first review, I decided to investigate the Rting's spec sheets. I couldn't understand that the Sony was within 1 DB of peak loudness with the Go 3 when it felt a quarter as loud. After pushing it to pushing it to 70-80% volume, I discovered that the loudness scales up exponentially to it's peak. It filled the entire house with sound at 70%, just as I had hoped for.This design of exponentially increasing volume is actually brilliant, because you can finely set the volume when you need it to be quiet. Then you can still get it loud and clear when you need it as well! Quite brilliant in my opinion. It really took me a while to appreciate this thing, now I love it!It's a fantastic little speaker if you can get one on sale for around $40! Almost unbeatable in this price range when you consider the price of buying speakers with an amp.

Title: Not loud enough
Review: Sound boost for watching movies, etc. on the phone is only OK. I have the sound all the way up, but it's still not quite loud enough to hear if some other noise occurs or when stepping into the next room. Not worth the cost.

Title:
Review: I have owned quite a few speakers in my time, from small to large, wireless and powered. This one stands out for its richness in volume, loud enough for an outdoor environment and small enough to carry anywhere. Connection to my Samsung phone no issues, no loss in connection, smooth play. Good speaker for the money.

Review: Small, tastefully designed, easily removable strap so I can have it on my desk. I was hesitant about black, but it looks sharp and good quality. Sound quality is great. Overall super happy! I tried some obscure brands before getting this one but they had issues with bluetooth connectivity, and frankly looked not that great, finally decided to go back to sony, Iâm happy I did. Quality is quality!
