Posted .Hi JimG,
Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the SRSXB13. Your feedback about the volume is greatly appreciated. The overall volume may vary depending on the source content. Make sure to turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device.
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.
Make sure to charge the built-in battery sufficiently. Additional troubleshooting steps are also available on this link:

Cute but not loud enough
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's ok. Pros: -Cute -Portable -Easy to sync -USUALLY works Cons: -Volume is too low. I didn't expect it to be super loud or like regular speakers, but I've had cheap, off-brand bluetooth speakers louder than this -Sometimes sounds a little tinny -For some reason, very glitchy with Overwatch. Whether or not it will work with the game is hit or miss for me Final verdict: It's ok. It gets the job done, but I expected more for the price.

Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don’t buy. This is the 2nd one I bought and in less than a year there is an issue with the volume. At first I thought maybe going to an updated version since it’s a Sony product would definitely solve the issue but same issue as prior version. I am disappointed.

Sony does it again!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have always been a big fan of Sony Bluetooth speakers. They always seem to put out great sounding speakers that are affordable. I still have speakers from many years ago that work great! This speaker is no exception. Right out of the box I was up and running in literally 15 seconds. I turned on the speaker and my phone asked to connect to it almost immediately. I hit OK, fired up Spotify, and I was ready to go. It really is that simple to operate! There is a companion app you can use called Sony Music center that allows you some EQ and other sound adjustment functions, but its not necessary to use the speaker. The speaker feels mostly plastic with a metal grille covering the top speaker. It definitely feels solid and that it would be able to handle it being dropped or anything like that without shattering into a million pieces. It also comes with a handy wrist strap to help in carrying it around. Getting to the sound quality, you have to realize the size of this speaker and know that its not going to pump out tons of bass or be really loud. But for its size it gets loud enough to fill up a small room, office, or to be able to hear it outside if you're fairly close to it. One thing I love about Sony speakers is that even if you crank them all the way up to maximum volume, the audio doesn't start to break apart. It's still nice and clear. I know so many other brands if you crank them up over 3/4 volume they get quite distorted and sound horrible! This speaker has surprisingly good bass for it being so small. It does help if you have it sitting on a table to get the bass to be a little more punchy. Overall it has a very good and balanced sound. Not too much bass, not too much highs or mids and still very pleasing to listen to. I listen to mostly rock type music, but I put some classical and jazz through it as well and it sounded amazing. Its also able to get a little wet and supposedly even be able to be submerged in water for a short time, although I have not tested those claims. Overall, this is a great compact Bluetooth speaker with great sound. You simply cannot go wrong with a Sony Bluetooth speaker, I have tried probably over 10 of them, and they have never disappointed me!

Sony EXTRA BASS Compact Portable Bluetooth Speaker
