Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this for my son and he’s in love with it. It has pretty decent sound for the price we got it at. I think it would make. A great gift.

Enjoy my favorite songs with this Bluetooth Sony speaker. Its multicolored line lights turn any gathering into a party, and the 12 hours battery keeps the music playing all nigh

I bought this speaker for my teenagers and they have enjoyed using it. I think for the price it is a decent product and i look forward to using it outside in the summer months.

Great small speaker, very loud and sound great. NFC makes it easy to pair. Doesn't last as long as I would like but I keep it on the charger

Good things come in small packages. It may be small but you will be impressed with the sound this speaker produces! Awesome speaker!!!

Second Sony speaker we purchased. This was a gift for our Mother. She didn’t have any problems using the speaker with her smart phone. Definitely user friendly!

This portable speaker has been a lot of fun. It hooks easily to my phone/iPad and plays my Apple Music like a mini boom box

Definitely use this everyday and don’t have problems. Would like the volume to not go down when it needs to be charged but it is overall a good product.

Super cute, small and great quality Bluetooth speaker! I love Sony products and this speaks was a great purchase! I recommend it!

I use my speaker a lot around the house and also when I go camping. It’s loud enough for a house party. It’s a rugged built and should last for a long time.

I really enjoy the speaker, I use it for my massage practice and it sounds wonderful !!! Originally was gonna buy from Walmart but couple bucks cheaper at Best Buy.

Love this speaker. Easily links to my phone via Bluetooth and I can play Pandora or YouTube to broadcast in my backyard or garage. Got it at a deal price too. A+

I gave this to my son and he seems to be pleased with the quality and I’m left wondering why I did this to myself because maximum volume is his preference.

The new sony srs-xb21 has a lot to offer in a small package. The build quality is absolutely amazing and having an IP67 rating is essential for any portable Bluetooth speaker(note: also supports audio in but won't be protected against the elements since the ports will be exposed). The speaker also has lights around it that you can customize although I believe mine to be defective because the lights seem to go around the entire speaker but they don't light up on mine. Only the center light goes on. NFC is supported so it was a very easy pairing with my Google Pixel. One of the best things about this tiny speaker is the 12 hour battery life. That is absolutely amazing and you can check battery life by pressing the BATT button on the back of the speaker to ensure you always have enough juice. There are a lot of different sounds you can get out of this speaker and that's thanks to Sony's software features. You can adjust highs, mids, and lows manually or use Sony's Extra Bass feature which does exactly what it's named for and it does give you that extra definitive punch. You can also opt in for clear audio which emphasizes vocals and gives you the best quality listening experience which I'm mostly on. Sony added this Live Sound feature which is supposed to create a "three-dimensional listening experience" and give you a "festival vibe" and it works fantastic with some songs and just okay with other songs so it's a pick and choose type deal with that feature which is why I'm usually on the Clear Audio setting. One thing I do give Live Sound though is that it's a lot louder than the other features and I have to give that to the three-dimensional listening experience. So definitely experiment with Live Sound and Clear Audio to see which one suits your needs best. Some really extravagant features that really make this speaker series stand out is the ability to "Control the Party". With the Music Center app by Sony you're able to control a lot of different aspects of the speaker including lighting patterns, enable party booster, cue the next song, or simply choose a playlist. Party booster is fun for a bit just to give it a try but it's not extremely useful. Essentially you get the power to tap on the speaker on different places and create different sounds such as a cymbal crash, scratch, snare drum, cowbell, and other percussion sounds. I do not use it very often only to show others that you can do that if you so please to. Last but not least you can group this particular speaker with other supported speakers in the SRS family. You can connect two of the exact same speakers using the ADD function which will give you a stereo sound with left and right channels or you can use wireless party chain for speakers of different sizes to connect together(up to 100 speakers). Overall I'd have to say that the SRS-XB21 is good for its size and price. It's loud enough to give you that punch in sound, enough audio features to find the one that suits your needs, fun to use in the dark with those flashing controllable lights, very portable, and will last a long time before it needs a recharge!

This is a great speaker. The fact that it is waterproof is a great feature so that we can take it on the boat and to the pool.

Great quality sound for this speaker, very clear and it also lights up with the sound. I would recommend this product to everyone, it worth your money.

I love it. Great speaker for a great price. It has awesome sound. So glad I chose this one. I always enjoy shopping at Best Buy. Great customer servie.

Bought for my son as a Christmas present. He loves the light feature. Most importantly the sound is great. He turns up his music loud and annoys me. Lol

I like to use it around the house when I do not feel like wearing headphones. Has pretty good sound for its size. Good upgrade from my old one.

This speaker is awesome..got it on sale...if you need a portable speaker spend extra money and get a sony they always sound better. But get it on sale.
