Not happy with mine
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hate to say it but I was pretty disappointed in this item. The artificially added bass frequencies really chew up the sonic landscape unless the speaker is hanging (thus no reflective surface on the bottom). Also I had extreme difficulty pairing this with several devices. And yes, I know that sometimes we have to go thru the steps more than once but I'm talking about 20 times before it would eventually pair. This happened on no less than three source devices (a tablet, smartphone, PC, etc). I'd suggest to shoppers who notice things such as poorly reproduced bass frequencies look elsewhere. But it's cute, I like the size, and the controls were easy once it was paired.

Volume too low
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Small beast
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

Posted .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.

Awesome sound must have
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review. If you’re looking for a portable powerful Bluetooth speaker, this is it, amazed by the sound I was pleasantly surprised something so small could have such bass and such a rich sound. It’s a must have if you need a speaker to carry around you won’t be disappointed.
