    Wanted a portable speaker. Have sony headphones and earbuds, so trust sony and no new app needed on my phone. Even better and louder than I expected. Small portable speaker, great sound for as small as it is.

    Paired with the Aluratek bluetooth transmitter connected to our audio mixer board, this provides excellent sound in the church nursery of what's happening in the sanctuary. Powers up and connects reliably.

    The speakers connect easily to your device and the battery lasts a good while. The problem is the volume is way too low on this speaker. I can get better volume on the phone itself than the volume from this speaker. But it’s cheap and it works.

    This thing is the right size for my wife to use at her job. It fits in her coat pocket but still has some size and weight to it. It packs a good punch and the sound quality is excellent especially considering the price. This was a “best” buy. Lol

    My new favorite travel speaker. I also own several JBL speakers ( like 6 ) However, I have slowly started purchasing Sony speakers and love the sound quality and battery life is easily better than Bose or JBL compared with similar sized speakers.

      Hi JeanS,

      Thanks for commenting. While we are glad to hear about your satisfaction with the long-lasting battery life, portable design, and reasonable price of your XB100, we are sorry if its loudness didn't live up to your expectations. For the loudness as well as the sound quality of the speaker, this usually depends on the source that you're playing and audio device that you are using. You can turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device to isolate the problem. Also, take note that sound becomes low while in use 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.

      Additionally, the SRS-XB100 can also be paired with another SRS-XB100 if you want an even bigger sound.
