Good little speaker but may not be loud enough dep
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good little speaker, but may not be loud enough. Depending on your usage. Because I have an obsolete audio system. My family often listens to audiobooks on road trips. We notice that when I'm driving on the freeway, my kids cannot hear the narration as clearly. But the speaker does have a nice strap which we could hook onto the driver side. Headrest to allow a more central position so we can all hear better.

Too small.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For it's size it sounds great. The issue was it is a bit too small. A second speaker on the side of it would have be a better product.

Posted .Hi AFReeman,
We're glad that you like the sound quality and battery life of the speaker. Your feedback about the volume is greatly appreciated. Make sure to charge the built-in battery sufficiently. The sound may become low in the following cases. This is not a malfunction:
-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.
You can also adjust the volume of your source device or the app that you are using to improve the overall volume. You may also find this link helpful:

Outstanding small speaker
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There is no shortage of Bluetooth speakers on the market. And I own a handful of them ranging from small to large. Size and price obviously vary and for good reason. As a general rule, smaller & cheaper equals not as good. But as far as small speakers go, this is the best I have used. I love the soda can like shape & size. It fits perfectly in a car cup holder :-) But the design allows for better sound in my opinion. The upward firing speaker allows the sound to expand and the bottom bass allows the sound to have a bit more thump. A lack of bass is one of the bigger issues with small speakers. This one combats that better than most. The design gives the XB13 a much bigger (and clearer) sound than you might expect for such a small & inexpensive speaker. It is claimed to have up to a 16 hour battery life and I would say that is about right. I have been using it for several days and have yet to need to recharge it after it's initial charge. IP67 dust & water protection should enable you to take it just about anywhere without worry. If you like, you can even ad an extra speaker to the mix wirelessly for a great small stereo package. You can use it as a hands free speaker for your phone as well. In fact, if you live in a state requiring hands free phone use in a vehicle I would say this would be a great option for your car. Just connect it to your phone and put it in a cup holder! I also like the fact that it uses a USB-C cable for charging. Seems to be the cable most devices are going with these days which helps eliminate having a bunch of different cords laying around. Over all, I would recommend this to just about everyone for its great sound, build quality and functionality. You really can't go wrong with the XB13!

Posted .Hi Rob1,
We are sorry to hear that. 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 or 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. To isolate the issue, charge the built-in battery sufficiently and try again.

David
