I bought this myself whom is a child of 13. I was looking for a affordable speaker which packs a punch of bass and sounds really well. My first sound test with the speaker was amazing. It paired really fast with my phone. I went upstairs to see if I could still hear it and well, I did (In a 2 story house)! It wasn't even at max volume and I don't know how but I could hear the bass from the radiator really well. Especially on any wooden surface like my kitchen table, it really passed the Bass through it and vibrated it, making it its own speaker! Really enhancing the audio and volume of the speaker. But Not just on wood but on any other surface it does really well. Even when it's hanging from the strap or just floating in the air, it still packs the best bass I've heard out of a small speaker. Although the speaker at 60$ is "kind of" worth the price. But at 40$ plus any additional promo codes for a lower price is definitely the "best buy" for a small Sony speaker which can get up to 95 Db is really worth the money. I use this everyday. It even is louder than my brother's JBL charge 5 , in some situations. Anyways for any young or older sound enthusiasts looking for a small, loud, reliable, durable, and waterproof speaker(Also this does really well for playing music while showering, especially hanging it over the shower head with the strap). I'd say this is an excellent speaker for Christmas, birthday's, etc.

I recently got my hands on the Sony XB100 Speaker, and I've been very impressed. The sound quality is solid, especially considering its size. The Extra Bass feature gives it some nice depth, which is a pleasant surprise. Setting up Bluetooth is easy, and I appreciate how portable it is. Plus, the battery lasts a long time, so I can enjoy my music without worrying about recharging constantly. Overall, it's a reliable little speaker for anyone who wants good sound on the move. I also love using it as my shower speaking since it's waterproof.

Perfect little speaker with great sound. It's small and light weight but has really good sound for its size. It's not gonna blast your ears off but it's perfect for a bedroom or small backyard. Battery is decent too. Gives hours of music play before needing a charge.
Great! We're glad that you like the sound quality, size, and battery life of the speaker. Thank you for choosing Sony!

I love this Bluetooth speaker! It is super portable and I can chuck it in any backpack and some purses I own. I have converted into a Sony girl in the last year, initially via their camera equipment. Now I can say I love their audio accessories too. This speaker is very portable, has just the right amount of volume to create but not disturb a vibe. It connects to my Bluetooth devices very quickly, and it chooses whichever one is closest to it within 3-4 seconds. The range is also pretty great, I’m sure the exact amount but I’ve been about 50ft away and it still plays clearly. The battery life is great, just enough for a long day or weekend trip. There is an app available for this, I don’t usually use it.. only if to check the battery percentage before heading out. I also think it’s fantastic that they offer a stereo feature, I will be purchasing an identical speaker to compliment this one soon. I live an active lifestyle and throw this speaker just about anywhere, it has kept its integrity through all the various adventures it’s been on. Very rugged for those who are out and about often. This is great for those on the go that want a smaller, lightweight speaker that gives out quality and clear sound. One thing that would be great to see would be more variety it color, I love the coral orange but it would be great to see some hot pinks in their next rendition of these speakers for the Sony girls out here.
Hi DannyM, We're glad that you are enjoying your new speaker. Enjoy big sound with the super-compact SRS-XB100 wireless speaker, offering powerful, clear sound, an updated IP67 waterproof and dustproof design and up to 16 hours of battery life. Small enough to fit in a bag or cupholder, the XB100 also features a versatile strap to take with you wherever you go. Thank you for choosing Sony. Erin

Battery life lasts me about 4-5 hours if used in max volume.
If kept in moderate to low volume, the battery life lasts me for way more. I love the warmth of the music when listening with this speaker.
The speaker is compact and can easily be taken anywhere you go. Definitely worth the buck.

They don’t get particularly loud. I started off with one and ended up getting a second to link them and get a little more sound. Overall they’re good and have a good rich sound.
I also don’t particularly like that I have to download a Sony app to connect to them. Especially when friends come over; they can’t just connect to it, they have to download the app too if they want to play music from their phones. Overall they do the job and I like the colors.
Thanks for commenting. We're thrilled to hear that you like the stylish color design of your XB100 and you're satisfied with its overall performance. We greatly appreciate your feedback about the loudness/max volume of the speaker. As for the connection, you can actually pair and connect this speaker with Bluetooth devices without using the application. Please refer to the following Help Guide links for Bluetooth pairing and connecting instructions: https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/7856/v1/en/contents/TP1000946321.html https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/7856/v1/en/contents/TP1000946306.html
I hope this helps.
Thank you so much for purchasing two of our XB100 and for choosing Sony!

Very nice speaker box, it’s small easy to carry around with its own carrying strap. It’s also pretty loud. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Cool and rugged small form speaker for the price. Didn't rate 5 stars because the battery doesn't last as long as I would like. Sounds great at low to mid volume. Pack of gum for scale.

I would recommend this to a friend

This was purchased for my office. It’s been dropped and rolled off a desk. No problems connecting to my iPhone. It’s got a nice sound that will travel thru the whole office. At this price I feel like it was a good purchase. There might be better options but I’m not disappointed with this one.
