Reduced Volume
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I first purchased this product, the volume was out of this world for the size of the speaker. After about a month of use the volume has reduced. Will send it to the manufacturer for repair. Other than that, I like the size and portability of the speaker.

Great Sound Quality!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Normally I am a bit skeptical about tiny bluetooth speakers, but this one is amazing. The bass on it is pretty great for its size. I am already considering purchasing another one to sync them together to increase the coverage area of the sound.

Small speaker small sound.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly this little speaker is perfect for what I need it for. I travel a lot and it is very nice for a hotel room. It’s not too loud, so if you want it for boating or other outdoor activities then this probably isn’t what you’re looking for. Could use more bass. Quality is great.

Posted .Hi bassinkurt,
Thank you for the review and we're glad to hear that you like the sound and quality of the speaker. If you want more powerful sound, we recommend using the Stereo Pair function of the speaker. To use the Stereo Pair function, 2 SRS-XB13 speakers are required. By connecting 2 speakers via Bluetooth connection, you can enjoy more powerful sound.

Just tried it out
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was ok, I can really appreciate the sound quality on this device. The downward firing speaker has some really nice benefits but I feel like the speaker could be louder. Since it’s not as loud as I wanted it to be it wasn’t that great in certain conditions. Overall build quality was really great, other than the smudge magnet

Cute and sound good
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is nice for its size. Not amazing but good enough! Not easy to turn off though. I hold down the power button and it goes of then turns on again and have to hit the button again to get it to turn off. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but it should be intuitive.
