    Excellent, affordable portable speaker with decent base and very clear sound quality. I like that it came in orange color so I can spot it right away, especially in an outdoor environment.

    Great sound for the price. Nice and compact, links to any Bluetooth item we've tried so far without any problems. We haven't tried the stereo link up yet and probably will if/when we buy another one. It is well worth the price for sure.

    Purchased this after hearing a coworker’s same speaker. Good sound quality at low volume to use in a work setting. Decent bass response and clear highs. The price was the selling point. This is a nice speaker at a lower price. The carrying strap is a nice touch to attach to a bag or wrist.

    Big Sound From Small Travel Size Speaker

    I was able to get an XB100 Sony Compact Bluetooth Speaker at the exact right time from the Tech Insider program! We took this little speaker on a family vacation so my kids could listen to something different in the back of the van than we did up front. First thing I noticed was that this speaker, for how small it is, was able to get very loud! I could hear it pretty well from the front seat of the 12 passenger van at freeway speeds. While the box claims to get 16 hours per charge we were getting maybe 8-10 hours but also had it up much louder than the paperwork included said (it says on 25 but there’s not really a gauge of what the volume is). Inside the box is the speaker with warranty info, quickstart guide, and instructions for use. Unlike some speakers I was pleased to find a nylon/fabric loop to hang the speaker if you want, although the loop is made of a plastic hook on one side and a stitched loop at the end of the other that slides over the hook. The lack of a full closure makes me hesitant to hang it from anything more than a foot or so but the fabric seems strong so it may be OK. On the speaker you have a power button with charge indicator light below, Bluetooth indicator/pair button, play/pause/answer phone button above a mic (yes, it lets you take hands free calls too), and finally the volume up and down buttons. There’s also a USB-C charge port under a connected rubber plug that sits flush when not charging. I love the size of the speaker and that it’s smallness doesn’t feel like I’m missing out on big sound, its clear and offers enough volume to hear in a noisy environment (obviously your milage may vary based on tastes and how refined your hearing/listening is). The ability to pick it up without looking and use the buttons based on raised icons is nice but not unique to this speaker (although the soda can size/shape makes it easier than most to keep a solid grip while finding the button on the side). If I really think about it the only thing I found disappointing was the hanging loop seeming a little sketchy for higher positioning (and looking at it I might be able to cut it off and modify a camping strap or something around the metal pin the strap wraps around). If you’re looking for a small speaker that doesn’t mind getting wet for camping, beach trips, road trips, etc. then I’d recommend this little round speaker. I didn’t drop test it or anything and as I’ve mentioned I can’t speak to how that strap will stay connected long term but if you’re even halfway careful this shouldn’t be an issue. Recommended highly!

    My car's audio system is not working and I wanted to replace it with a simple Bluetooth speaker and oh boy!, I was surprised when I paired my new Sony-XB100. The music filled up my minivan with ample good quality sound. This portable Bluetooth speaker paired perfectly within 30 secs. There is a little latency while speaking but varies with different apps. The speaker's battery performance is excellent, in fact it ran longer than the advertised 16 hours. I liked the controls on the speaker. Small display lights shows when the device is Turned on/off. Also, the white paint on them helps to identify controls easily. The strap is a beautiful addition to hang the speaker anywhere. I like the sturdiness and smooth finish and glad to know it comes in various colors. To keep it simple, I love this product for it's Style, Portability, Build & Sound quality, Ease of use and most important, battery life and connectivity. I would recommend buying it anytime.

    Great little speaker. Fits perfectly in my golf cart drink holder. Long battery life and great sound. It’s not a loud speaker but crisp treble and decent base. I’m thinking of buying a second one for patio because you can play / pair two.

    I am extremely happy with these Bluetooth speakers. First of all, I am a big fan of the Sony brand. The technology that they have now with their speakers means that I will have multiple ways to enjoy my music. I can now connect up to 100 speakers via Bluetooth. I already have two of the large speakers at home along with the boombox. I love this technology and the quality of the sound. I had no reservations when I bought these little speakers that they would sound good as well. They do they have a full sound and nice highs for a complete experience. I got two for right now while I’m away from home and while I’m sitting at my desk when they connect one says left and the other says right and then they say connected. I then can enjoy stereo sound while I work. The charging is really nice. You charge via USB and the charge holds for at least 3 days with heavy use. If I want to bring them with me, they have a strap that makes it convenient to hook it on just about anything. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

    I purchased this to be able to listen to books on tape downloaded to my phone. It is easy to use and the sound was clear. The volume was adequate but limited. The charge cord provided allowed me to easily charge it in the car while driving which was important during my road trip. Since I was using a rental car, I did not want to directly connect my phone to the car. This device let me both listen to the books on tape as well as use it as a hands free speaker phone in the rental car.

    The Sony XB100 Compact Bluetooth Speaker in Orange is a fantastic little device that packs a surprising punch! Despite its small size, the sound quality is incredible, with deep bass and clear highs that easily fill a room. The Extra Bass feature really enhances the listening experience, making it perfect for both casual listening and small gatherings.Pairing the speaker with my devices was a breeze, and the Bluetooth connection is strong and stable, even from a distance. The battery life is impressive, lasting several hours on a single charge, which is perfect for taking it on the go. I also love the color.

    If you're looking for a good sounding bluetooth speaker without spending a lot of money I highly recommend this one! I wasn't expecting this kind of sound quality from a speaker this small and inexpensive! Feels really well made in your hands too, and not cheap, or like it will fall apart easily. It's also the perfect size to fit in a cup holder! Which was really great for me, since I bought it as a quick fix when my car radio broke.
