I'd buy it again.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great little speaker no complaints on it. I took off one star because it comes with a 2inch cord and no way to charge it which is frustrating without almost all electronics now.

Posted .Hi Cobb208,
We're so happy to hear you're very pleased with the amazing sound quality of your new XB13 EXTRA BASS™ Portable BLUETOOTH® Speaker. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the supplied accessory of the unit. The XB13 doesn't come with an AC adapter for an AC outlet. You may already have one that will work, as most cell phones/mobile devices come with them. We do not include them as a way to reduce waste. If you don’t have one, you will need to purchase a USB AC adaptor (commercially available) that has the ability to output in 500 mA and up if you prefer to charge the unit to an AC outlet. You can also charge the speaker's built-in battery by connecting the supplied USB cable connected with the speaker to a computer that comes equipped with a USB charging port as well. If the length of the USB Type-C cable is not sufficient, you can use other USB Type-C cables to charge your XB13 speaker. For more information on how to charge the speaker, visit the link below.

Very compact, solid performer
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think the first and foremost aspect of this speaker is its size and shape. It is very small and easy to carry around. Its shape even allows it to fit in most cup holders which is a convenient place to put it while driving to your destination. I really appreciate the design that allows for sound to fill the room without any directional distortion you usually get from other speakers. It has a very nice strap that makes carrying it even easier. You can also use the strap to hang it onto things rather easily. I unpacked it, synced it easily, and have been using it quite a bit for awhile now and have yet to charge it even once. It still has tons of battery life left so I imagine getting to that 16 hours as advertised should be no problem at all. It is also IP67 water and dust proof which would come in handy on adventures such as camping or by the pool. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is it suffers from some distortion particularly with heavy bass. It seems to not be able to handle the lows as well as I would like it to. Overall sound quality is good though, particularly with the small packaging in mind. You can even take phone calls on it although I think it'd be best only for short and quick conversations as its not much better than using the speakerphone feature on your actual phone. The Sony Music Center app is abysmal unfortunately, definitely skip that part of the experience its not worth the trouble. I could not get it to even detect my speaker at all even while literally playing music from it when I tried over and over again. I think Sony has a nice product here, I like what it can do, how easy it is to take places, and having USB-C charging is really handy. Turn down the bass and avoid the app and you'll have a great time.
