Product Manuals

Q: This speaker doesn’t come with a charging block ?

A: Hi Damien, this speaker does not come with an AC Power Adaptor. The built-in battery of the speaker can be charged when connected to an AC outlet via the supplied USB Type-C cable and a USB AC adaptor (commercially available). The speaker supports USB AC adaptors that are capable of delivering an output current of 1.5 A. Thanks! -Jess

Q: If my computer does not have bluetooth does it come with a cable to plug into the computer?

A: Hi SantasElf, We appreciate your interest in the XB23. It comes only with a USB Cable and warranty card. We apologize, this unit doesn't feature an AUDIO IN jack. It is a Bluetooth only model. If you want to play music, you can use your smartphone and connect it via Bluetooth connection. You might want to consider getting the XB43, XB12, XB22, XB32, or the XB41 which do have 3.5mm in, but connecting an audio cable to this jack turns off sound output from the connected BLUETOOTH device. I hope this helps! Regards, Jess

Q: will this speaker fit in a bicycle bottle holder

A: Yes, it fits my water bottle carrier.

Q: Can this speaker be laid flat stably (with all the buttons up)? The pictures seem like it's in a total cylinder shape.

A: Hi Odokei, Thanks for your inquiry. The speaker can be placed either vertically or horizontally (multi-placement). Both of the XB23s speakers are facing the same direction so you can get true Left/Right separation like the artist intended. This also means, if you lay it flat it sounds just as good as it does standing up. That being said the speakers are opposite the controls and the overall design lends itself to having the controls on the bottom if laid flat. For example there is a small ridge on the charging port that helps it stay put and you can also place the carrying strap underneath for more stability. For more information on placing the speaker vertically/horizontally, refer to this link here: https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xb23/v1/en/contents/TP0002845018.html Hope this helps, Jess

Q: What kind of connector is needed for ac power? I’ve tried several usb cables and none work.

A: Hi Adaptor, Thanks for inquiring about the XB23. The speaker supports USB type C charging cable. There should have been one in the box. That cable can be connected to most USB AC adaptors that are capable of delivering an output current of 1.5 A. We hope this helps, Erin

Q: Will it work with Samsung galaxy e10?

A: Yes, it does. I do have a Samsung galaxy and it works very well with it.

Q: Can two of these speakers use the stereo pair function for a computer or tv that have bluetooth? or is the stereo pair function only available for ios and android phones?

A: Hi Anonymous, thanks for your question. Yes, as the Stereo Pair feature works, the said function needs to be established first between 2 speakers before connecting to the Bluetooth device. After establishing the stereo pair on both speakers, you can now connect them with the computer or TV that supports the A2DP Bluetooth profile. You need to check the specifications of your computer or TV if they supports the said profile. Please follow this link for more information: https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xb23/v1/en/contents/TP0002800282.html?search=stereo%20pair%20 The SRS-XB23 speaker features EXTRA BASS for a deep, punchy sound and with a battery that can last up to 12 hours. The newly developed X-Balanced Speaker Unit in the XB23 achieves high sound quality and powerful sound pressure for a richer, deeper, more rewarding listening experience. The speaker is also waterproof and salt water resistant—so you've no worries using it by the sea or the pool—and there's no problem washing it either. Hope this helps. ~Earl

Q: Is the XB-23 compatible to use in another room, paired with the Sony STR-DH190?

A: Hi Best Buy Customer, Thanks for your inquiry. The SRS-XB23 is specifically built for smartphones and computers. Though both devices support Bluetooth A2DP profile, the XB23 cannot be connected with this receiver. The STR-DH190 Stereo Receiver doesn't have a capability to output sound to a Bluetooth speaker. The Bluetooth feature of this unit is actually designed to receive audio from a WALKMAN, smartphone or tablet that has a BLUETOOTH function and listen to the received audio content via this receiver. Unlike the STR-DN1080 model, it has a Bluetooth Transmitter mode which you can enjoy listening to audio from AV devices connected to the receiver via BLUETOOTH headphones/speakers. I hope this helps! Regards, Jess
