SRS-XB100 Wireless Bluetooth Portable Lightweight Super-Compact Travel Speaker, Durable IP67 Waterproof & Dustproof Shower Speaker, 16 Hour Battery, Versatile Strap, & Hands-free Calling, Black

I really like this speaker. It’s very small/compact but has a very nice, high quality, clear sound. The Bluetooth connection is SUPER easy to use; I just downloaded the app and it connected immediately - no repeated set up attempts and no fuss! And the Bluetooth connection doesn't drop - even when switching back and forth between multiple phones/devices which is somewhat rare with these kinds of speakers. It has a strap with a "buckle" so you can strap it on to almost anything and it's also waterproof which gives me peace of mind since I'm using it in the bathroom to listen to while showering etc. It plays a LONG time on a charge but you can also keep it plugged in all the time with the easy to use USB-C port. It's not the loudest speaker in the world but given it's very compact size, I really wouldn't expect it to be and I'd prefer crisp sound over booming volume. I would NOT recommend this you are trying to find a speaker for a large room or to hear throughout multiple rooms but for smaller areas (like a deck/patio, a smaller bedroom, or a bathroom which is where I am using it), it's an incredible deal. I got it on sale during prime days but depending on the color and when you buy, I've seen it at or near the same low price since. I'm definitely happy with this purchase!

I have to say this speaker is way better than i imagined and that i underestimated how loud it might get, Before I bought it I watched a bunch of reviews saying it was "Quiet" and those were a bunch of lies the sound quality is amazing, the bass is nice and boomy, and has nice low end. Another aspect of this speaker is it's size it is smaller than i imagined and from what i saw in the videos that i saw Sony really took "Portable" into consideration when designing this speaker. This is a high quality product that i can't even put into words it is made of recycled plastic material and the texture is smooth and really nice overall, I prioritize bass when it comes to speakers and this really did the job. The battery life is excellent it hasn't died yet and the lowest its been was 40% which is what it was when it arrived. This is also really good for it's price I caught it on sale even after christmas and paid $41.23 instead of $59.99. So i do have to say i recommend this to anyone out there looking for a small protable speaker that they can carry around and throw in a bag easily with good sound quality, gets really loud, and has good deep bass that is boomy.

Great little speaker ! I use it outside in my yard and it fills the space. Nice bass and balanced sound. Also very nice for listening to a playlist or podcast in the shower because it is water resistant. I use it every dah and love the lightweight and easy solution to good sound.

I reserved judgement until I could get a good well-rounded opinion, as I've never personally or directly owned a Sony product before. My family has a long history of consumerism, but I was never the owner. As far as the packaging, it was all recyclable and the speaker is also made of recycled material. There was no unnecessary wrap or filler pieces, as the stereo is a solid short piece and didn't much need to be protected. It's about the size of a soda can but shorter, as they describe, and no frills. All capabilities also. It comes with a strap and charging cable, which is super handy (not the cable, I've got 100 of those, but I do appreciate it's the thought that counts). I mostly use it at night for my sleep sounds. I do also use it for the car, since my car is older and doesn't have anything fancy. I also use it for the kids sleep and nap sounds. However, now that I've had it for over a year, recently it's started to cut out at night and turn off. I cannot figure out why, but I suspect it's my sound app (which shouldn't turn off either). I'm not going back to the listing, but based on the box, I believe it is waterproof. Considering my current limitations, I have no interest in testing this matter. There's no standard/old school battery to replace. And Bluetooth connection has a range up to about 50 feet before it cuts. Pros: compact, small, easy to travel with; fits in cupholders; decent sound, with a wide range. Cons: loud "on" jingle, super annoying; the cutting out thing. Overall, I do still think it's a great value, and worth it. You can carry it on or in a purse or backpack of almost any size. I got the light grey, which allows me to see it in my black purse interior.

This speaker was easy to set up and actually seamlessly works with many different apps. It asked me to set up their app on my phone when I connected to the speaker via Bluetooth. Once their app was installed, it was amazing. Any app I play music on or anything with sound, without having to do anything to do with sound, it automatically plays on this speaker. The sound is awesome. It is easy to use without reading the instructions. Can't wait to see how it works with phone calls. Definitely would recommend. Within minutes I was able to access podcasts, Amazon music, Sirius and much more. Range, amazing. I live in a 2-bedroom Condo; was able to listen to speaker everywhere including my garage and outside patio. Definitely a great buy. Love this speaker.

I love my Sony speaker! It sounds great and the battery could last longer, but I am happy with that, too. No issues with it dying while I am using it. I haven't dunked it in water, but use it in my shower with no trouble. Clear and sounds good.

I use this on my bike rides around town. It fits nicely inside my cup holder and plays very clear. I wish it were a tad bit louder but all in all it is a good speaker.

The audio quality is fantastic and the battery lasts a long time. It feels really solid too.

Ótimo compra! Caixinha com ótima qualidade de som e bons graves. Achei melhor do que a Alexa. Discreta ao se conectar.

コンパクトのわりにしっかりしたサウンドに満足しました 機会があればまたよろしくお願いします

Depending on what your using it for Perfect little speaker 15w very portable, not crazy loud but loud enough, awesome for podcasts or extra audio for your phone for YouTube, TikTok, music. Not crazy bass but decent for the 15w portable size. Sony never disappoints So far 2 thumbs up 👍👍.

Suena bien, bonito color y diseño, la batería dura

REVIEW AFTER TWO WEEKS’ USE Sony caught thunder in a cup and called it SRS XB-100. This speaker is pretty loud and clear for its size, purpose and price. It is strictly meant for personal use or a small gathering of 6-8 people at best. Yet this little coffee mug outsmarts every other speaker below 5000 Rs. (Note – this speaker is not loud enough for a party. Those who feel that it is not loud enough for personal use may get an audiological evaluation to see if you have noise-induced hearing loss. Since hearing loss from loud noise (above 70 dB / 70% volume) is irreversible, try to reduce the loudness you listen to and follow 60:60 rule.) AUDIO QUALITY Vocals are loud, crisp and clear. Bass is good but not over-the-top. Good treble. From my experience, I would rate SRS XB-100 for various purposes as below. Playing music files = 10/10 Playing podcasts = 8/10 Call quality = 8/10 Playing YouTube videos = 7/10 Playing Movies & Series = 7/10 Generally, 50%-60% volume was sufficient for audio files to be clear and loud enough. Podcasts needed around 70%. YouTube videos, Movies & Series needed 70%-100% and they largely depended on the quality of file as well. Some old BBC documentaries and series played as clear as any music file at 60% volume whereas Avatar, LOTR series and Spiderman needed at least 80% volume. PORTABILITY The MOST underrated aspect of this speaker. You could take it and hang it anywhere. CHARGING & BATTERY LIFE About 4 to 4.5 hours to charge fully. At around 60% volume, SRS XB-100 lasts for nearly 10 hours, 2 hours less than advertised. At full volume, it lasts nearly 6 hours. But it has no fast charging and the chord provided for charging is very small. These are the only cons I felt. SONY MUSIC CENTRE APP It just tells you how much battery is left, allow connecting with other Sony speakers for stereo effects and updates the software. It serves no other purpose for this speaker. COMPARED TO OTHER SPEAKERS……. From below 5000 range, only Tribit MaxsoundPlus comes close in XB-100’s audio quality. Tribit XsoundGo is not even as good as the good old Sony SRS-XB13 which got replaced by XB-100. To me, XB-100 sounded better than Tribit Stormbox Micro 2, and even Marshall Willen. XB-100 sounds way better even than Sony’s own 24W speaker SRS XE-200. Don’t fall for the gimmick of speakers with more wattage. 1 watt means that speaker can produce maximum 87dB sound within 1 m distance. Whereas as a 20W speaker could produce only 97dB sound within 1 m distance. For comparison, train horns are blown at 90dB. Any sound above 90dB could cause earache and permanently damage hearing. Nobody plays songs and videos at that sound. As the distance increases beyond 1 m, loudness also decreases. So unless you are not looking for a party speaker or something for an outdoor gathering, a speaker below 10W is sufficient. I am NOT talking here about how loud a speaker can get. There is no point in getting a speaker that is just earblastingly loud but lacks any clarity of sound. So yeah. I am completely satisfied with this one. Try it; you too might be.
