Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have been extremely impressed with the Sony Portable Speaker. I am not a fan of portable speakers because it always seemed to be lacking in high treble or deep bass. Needless great nice features.

I was lucky to purchase this speaker on sale, I tried it in the store and I’ve had it for about 3 weeks now and I have no complains. Nice bass and definitely nice look, I bought the silver one and I love it .

I had done alot of research before buying this sony speaker. The reviews were good and this speaker was deal of the day from Best Buy and the price was right. Great speaker! Thanks Best Buy for deal of the day!

njoy your favorite songs with this Bluetooth Sony speaker. Its multicolored line lights and flashing strobe turn any gathering into a party, and the 12 hours battery keeps the music playing all night...

The sound is pretty good for the size of the speaker. The battery life leaves a bit to be desired though. Seems to last around 2 hours of straight listening, which isn't terrible, but I'd be happier with more time.

It's a perfect size for my use. My only complaint is that it doesn't stay charged as long as expected. The manuel says up to 12hrs of play time. I usually get 4-7 hours depending on how high the volume is played at.

By itself it's got all the richness and bass that my ears can detect. The party chain is why I chose it. It multiples the sound across all the areas you select. Highly recommended for indoor or outdoor use

These new portable speakers from SONY are excellent as they combine a few key qualities people are looking for in their devices: - Fun colors - Durable/Weather-/Environment-proof - Good Sound Quality - Good Battery Life - Fun Features The XB21 is the smaller of the speakers on offer today from SONY, but offers a good loud output and caters to a certain crowd with its party lights and fun color choices. The speakers light up around the rim and across the front with internal LED chasing lights which brings a unique aestetic to this line. As I mentioned the speakers are good and loud. Easily filling a small room with sound, but even capable of filling larger, quieter spaces (say, in a home with an open floor plan) but as the volume increases, some muddiness in the midrange is noticeable and the bass levels seem less noticeable as a result. The clarity otherwise is good for this price range, and the built-in subwoofer is definitely contributing to that full, rich audio output. The output is improved when connecting via an AUX cable via 3.5mm connector, but the bluetooth qualtiy is good. I had the privilege of getting a few of these speakers to connect to each other in what SONY calls, "Party Mode". This allows the speakers to simulcast the same audio source to up to 100 speakers through SONY's included App for iOS and Android. I noticed this worked pretty well in my testing, but I couldn't figure out how to leverage the in-built NFC with my Android phone. The speakers tout an IP67 rating, resistant to sand and water, but in my real-world testing (using my 8- and 10-year-olds as test subjects, and letting them expose these speakers to the outdoors with no rules) I found that while they do resist damage from dirt and water, the cosmetic impacts are permanent, as the material they're made from wont clean easily if exposed to dirt or mud (its a woven, speaker-grille material). This doesn't mean the functionality is affected in any way, but other speakers from competitors head off their resistance to these elements with smarter grill designs that are as cleanable as they are resistant to damage. My only other complaint is that we're now in 2018 - When will we finally see technology part ways with that awful, claw-backed, MicroUSB port? Its scratchy, only fits in one way, and none of the phones in this house use it anymore! With the advent and proliferation of USB Type C as the standard, why arent SONY and other manufacturers updating ALL of this year's products to the new way of working? Having this speaker for the long-haul means I've got to keep and "old school" charger around just for these, when everything else I use (MacBook, PixelBook, Pixel phone, GoPro, Google Wifi, etc) all moved to USB C way back in early 2017... Short summary - Good device, old connector, middling audio quality, but a fun durable device nevertheless... Just dont get it muddy!

Bought this speaker paired it with my phone charged it up and been using it ever cents it’s a great speaker perfect for my house battery time is I’m not sure but it last a long time very nice bye

I got this speaker to but together an in-home sirius radio for my 93 year old mother. It lets her be able to play her country music without a lot of talking. Good sound quality fir the money.

We bought this for my fiance's Dad for father's day. He wanted a good bluetooth speaker to use in the garage, so we got his this one. He has been pretty happy with it so far. I call that a win!

Caught this speaker on sale for 59.99 and I must say the bass is deep and clean. I own several high end speakers and this speaker takes the win.

I had the xb20 and I upgraded to the xb21 it is a much better sounding speaker the battery life is ok if you listen continuously it will die in about 2 to 3 hours that's the only thing I don't like

Drink wine every night on my patio. Want music. Before this product had to keep door open.with music coming from inside. With this product, I'm able to sync with my iPad and list to pandora.

A great speaker can take use wherever I go. I use it with my phone on the go or use it connected to my home computer inside or outside the house, all within range of my Bluetooth. Love it!!

I was surprised how great this sounded. Bought it to have music on vacation with us in Florida and had it on almost the whole trip! Was wondering if it was still on sale for my daughter!

I bought this for my daughter for Christmas. She charged it up and synced it with her device and turned it on. It sounded wonderful. I would definitely recommend it to family and friends.

Great sounding Bluetooth speaker with rechargeable batteries. I bought this on sale and it was a fantastic deal for what it is. Setup was super simple and did not need the directions one time.

I didnt give it 5 stars due to color. Says white, but its silver. Not white. I really wanted white. Misleading discription. Great sound. Just giving ya heads up if your looking for a true white speaker.

I got this speaker to go with the xb41 and an xb30 that I've had for a while. Man,what a system. I can rock some parties with these. My 14 year old loves using them to play his music too.
