Small Speaker - Big Sound
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The new Sony SRS-XB13 Bluetooth speaker is only 3 ½ inches high, but you’ll be surprised at the volume and bass the speaker provides. It’s a very good party speaker. It has a strap to easily hang it where convenient. It’s a mono speaker, but if you buy two of them (and at this price point, that’s not an outrageous idea) they become left and right stereo speakers, You can hang one at either side of your patio and have wireless stereo music to entertain party guests. It has a USB type C port for charging, and each charge should last for 16 continuous hours, certainly long enough for any party. Another reason it’s really good for outdoor parties this summer is the fact it’s dustproof and relatively waterproof, with an IP67 rating. I Googled that, and it means the speaker is completely dustproof and can actually be submerged in shallow water for half an hour. While I wouldn’t recommend doing this, it shows that if you’ve got the speakers outside and it starts pouring rain, the music will continue, and your speakers will be just fine. Bottom line, you can certainly find Bluetooth speakers at Best Buy with bigger sound, but with the small size portability, low price, and a great size/sound ratio, this speaker will last a long time, be trouble free, and entertain you and make your guests happy with the music you provide.

A lot of sound in a very convenient package
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good quality sound and a whole lot of bass, easy to link up to my other speakers and battery life is excellent. Nice to have the piece of mind that it is dust and water proof. Fits in my back pack, office drawer, cup holder in the car and treadmill. This thing has gone everywhere I have for the past 5 days. Very pleased.

||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is about an average speaker, but you do get what you pay for. Thought it be a good speaker for the beach. Only when it’s close to you, but nothing to major or loud if you are expecting anything louder

Speaker
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this speaker in late January and returned less than 2 weeks later. The speaker quality is poor. It sounds staticky if you turn it up too loud and it’s not loud enough so you have to turn it up all the way and that’s when the static noise come in.

Posted .Hi Kiah,
This is definitely not the news that we would like to hear. Please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience. To isolate the sound quality and static issue, please reset the speakers to factory default settings. Check the link on how to.
