    Great sound for something so tiny. Perfect for my desk to lust to while I work. Easy to use. The color is a light orange which I like a lot. The only thing I don’t like is the strap which is just a bit weird but it is removable so you can just take it off the speaker.

    My father had been looking into replacing some older bluetooth speakers as they no longer functioned with some of the newest operating systems. He had been looking into some more expensive bigger brand ones when I offered to do a little digging for some other options. I came upon this Sony portable speaker that seemed to review well and was much cheaper. Having heard them in person they are quite nice and there is no distortion as long as you are not cranking up the volume to max on the device itself. You can also easily pair 2 together in order to get stereo sound. There is also a strap attached which allows you to hang and angle them to project the sound/music across the room.

    We bought one for my wife and one for myself after reading several reviews. Purchased them online through Best Buy's website, and we have been very happy with our purchase. These speakers also have a nice amount of weight to them. These just feel right when you set them down and they "hang' right when you use the strap. My wife and I both highly recommend this item.

    Sounds good on its own. It was perfect for filling a large hotel suite with music. At max setting we were worried we’d get a noise complaint but never did. Placement can make a big improvement like on a wooden table, something it can vibrate on.

    This speaker was loud and good when I first got it then all of a sudden it just started getting lower and lower. What I don’t appreciate is I took the speaker back and they said I had to get the same kind of speaker and they said it would come in mail. But they sent me the same stupid speaker that went out it’s not loud it breaks up it sucks. I’m done and I will not spend another penny in Best Buy I haven’t had this speaker 2 months it was $50 These are hard times and they just ruined my customer satisfaction from them.

      Hi Zena, While we are glad to hear that you were happy with the volume and overall performance of the SRSXB13, we are sorry to hear that your first speaker had to be returned and we apologize if you're having the same volume issue with the new one. We'd love to troubleshoot this issue and make this a better experience for you. In the meantime, the sound may become low in the following cases.

      -When the built-in battery is running low and the CHARGE indicator flashes slowly, while the speaker is being powered by the built-in battery only.
      -When the rechargeable built-in battery is running low as a result of long-time use of the speaker at a loud volume even though the speaker was connected to an AC outlet by a USB AC adaptor (commercially available) or to a computer that comes equipped with a USB charging port.

      If the sound becomes low while in use, follow the procedure below.
      1.Turn off the speaker.
      2.Charge the built-in battery sufficiently.

      For reference, please check our help guide link: https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xb13/v1/en/contents/TP1000198273.html

    The Sony EXTRA BASS compact portable Bluetooth speaker, the sound is very good, the different colors, the bass, although the XB13 is definitely an improvement over previous times, the battery lasts a long time, the sound is undoubtedly one of the best for its version XB13 I really enjoyed the simple yet aesthetic design of the XB13. The material used on the outside is soft to the touch and, in general, it seems that it will last with everything that happens to it, water resistant, and the Bluetooth range is 33 feet and the response frequency is good at up to 20 hertz

    I'm Loving it!! I wanted a small, easy speaker for my bedroom or to travel with so I wouldn't have to listen to music or whatever on my phone or tablet speakers. I've ruined phone speakers in the past, not to mention a phone speaker really isn't great for volume. I also use ear buds but sometimes want a break or listen while falling asleep or while in the tub and ear buds just aren't always the best fit. This little speaker is perfect for all those reasons. Easy to connect, reasonable battery life and surprisingly good sound quality! I have noticed that when I use it on a shelf it sounds better if I put a small pad under it to lessen vibration, no problem at all! If you're looking for truly Superior sound quality perhaps get 2 for a better stereo experience but it actually DOES have nice sound all on it's own. And with it's water/dust protection, size, battery life, wrist strap, ease of use, good price PLUS good sound that makes it a 5 star purchase in my book!! I love it!!

    I’ve been looking for a speaker like this for the better part of 2 years. My asks we’re pretty simple. I wanted a small water resistant speaker with good sound that charges via USB-C. You’d think that wouldn’t be too much to ask, but nothing I’ve found so far has checked all those boxes. Until now. These speakers sound great, are the perfect size, charge via USB-C, and come in some really classy colors. All for a very reasonable price compared to their competition. Additionally, I have owned the previous version of this exact speaker for years and I’m happy to report that while this one is a little bigger overall, the new strap it comes with is awesome, it feels way higher quality, and it sounds MUCH better. Way more clear and the bass still kicks without being as muddy as the old one. They perfected it with this model. Get one.
