Q: 1-10 how good is the bass on this speaker?

A: 6-7 Small speaker has a passive radiator on the back.

Q: My mom is very hard of hearing and cannot hear her tv in her bedroom. Can this speaker be connected to her tv but remain above her bed?

A: It's actually a pretty loud speaker. I think she would be able to hear it. Nice little speaker for the money.

Q: If I had a USB wall charger, could I leave this speaker plugged in all the time? I want to connect it to an iPod to wake up to music and don’t want to risk the battery dying one morning. Thanks.

A: Hi, leaving the speaker plugged-in all the time may affect the battery life of the speaker. Please refer to the links below for more information about charging the speaker.

Q: Can two of these speakers be paired together?

A: Hi! Unfortunately, it doesn't have a speaker add function. You may want to consider the SRS-XB12. ~Ralph

Q: I need to know if this speaker makes a loud beep or announcement when powered on. I am looking for a speaker that is not disruptive to my office atmosphere. Thank you.

A: There is a short beep when powered on but a not disruptive. If you connect it to your phone for a music app, there will be a louder tone when you receive a call...still not disruptive in an office atmosphere.

Q: Is this a new version or is there only 1 model ? I saw one on Walmart website but the size is a lot smaller.

A: I don’t know about previous version. This one is small but the sound is great! No complains, I like a lot

Q: What is the max range (distance) of the bluetooth connection?

A: Hi, Muggs! The Bluetooth device has a transmission operating range of approximately 30 feet (10 meters) within a line of sight but will vary depending on the surrounding conditions. NOTE: Communication range will vary according to whether walls or other obstacles are located between the devices, the material used in the intervening walls, the presence of Radio Frequency (RF) interference and other environmental conditions, and the type of software being used, if applicable. ~Ralph

Q: Can you skip songs using the volume buttons on the speaker?

A: Yes. By pressing the play/pause/call button twice quickly during playback, the XB01 will skip to the beginning of the next song. I found it necessary to wait a second or two until the next song began playing before skipping to the next song. If it registers your presses too close together (3 presses), it may think you want to go back to the beginning of the current song.

Big Sound, Extra Bass in a Compact Design
When I opened this tiny speaker, I didn’t expect much of a chromatic sound. But when I turned it on and paired it with my phone, I was surprised to hear rich sound waves of varying frequencies—and bass. It is very small at approximately 3 ¼” w x 2 3/8” d x 2 ¼”h and is boxed with a strap and a micro USB cable. The mono speaker is even smaller at 1 ½”; however, it still manages to deliver a full range of tones with very little harmonic distortion, and with way more clarity than one would expect from a speaker four times plus its size. Main features of this product include Bluetooth, an Audio-In Stereo Mini Jack, a Long Battery Life, and the product’s Water-Resistant Design. Initially, a full charge was reached in a matter of minutes and subsequent repeated charging occurred quick. There also does not appear to be connection complications with the Bluetooth like I have experienced with other devices--it pairs almost instantly. I tried several different products by different manufacturers and in each case pairing the devices were effortless and the communication range extended over 30 feet. The speaker is also equipped with a microphone which allows it to be used as a speaker phone, and which also has great 2-way clarity within the communication range of up to 32’. When busy and needing to communicate on the phone, this is smaller and easier to carry from room to room than my phone. I’ve held on to my original iPod because I burned decades of my CD collection to its 160 GB hard drive to not only store my music, but to have the data to listen to without the use of the internet. Sometimes earphones are an irritant when working and I wanted to see how the iPod would work with the mini speaker. I connected the speaker and the iPod with an audio cord and it works great. The volume is somewhat limited with this type of sound connection as opposed to a higher, greater volume when using the Bluetooth capabilities; still the music is very harmonious, balanced and pleasant. The speaker enables me to listen to all my favorites at my personal workstation or where ever I wish to listen to them without the use of ear pods or the internet. The battery life almost doubles the battery life of any of my larger more dynamic sounding speakers. When using the speaker in the Bluetooth mode with all inputs sealed, the speaker’s design makes it water resistant. It is not completely waterproof, but water resistant enough to make it a great choice for the beach or pool side, especially when you wish to travel light. Weighing just under 6 ozs., this is a great little speaker for my workstation, office, kitchen, or on the go; and it surprises me that I like it as much as I do and that I have found so many uses for it that fit my lifestyle.

Great little speaker!
I bought it online so I wasn't sure what to expect. It's packaged in plastic. It fits in the palm of my hand. It's very durable, water resistant. Has good bass for the size.
