      Hi LorC,

      We regret to hear that you are not satisfied with the speaker. Sony's commitment to customer satisfaction is our top priority. For optimum performance, make sure to charge the built-in battery sufficiently. The sound may become low in the following cases. This is not a malfunction:

      -When the built-in battery is running low and the CHARGE indicator flashes slowly, while the speaker is being powered by the built-in battery only.

      -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.

      -When the ambient temperature of the speaker is high.

      Please also note that the sound performance may vary depending on the specific environment, including factors such as wind, background noise, and open spaces, which may affect the perceived loudness.

      In some cases, you might find that the speaker's sound may not be as loud as desired for outdoor use, especially in noisy or wide-open areas. For optimal sound quality and performance, we recommend using the speaker primarily for indoor purposes, where environmental factors are more likely controlled, and you can fully enjoy its audio capabilities.

      You have the option to use the Stereo Pair function by connecting 2 SRS-XB100 speakers so you can enjoy a more powerful sound. For more information, please refer to this link:

    Sound Pretty Good When Paired

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I use them for watching Fire TV, listening to music at bedtime and my morning wake routine with Alexa. The speakers have to be re-paired frequently and make an annoying buzzing sound when paired for several weeks. Next time I won't buy speakers that have to be paired.

      Hi JCrew,

      Thank you for the 5-star rating and sharing your experience so far with your XB100. We apologize, the SRS-XB100 is designed for audio devices like music players and smartphones that support Bluetooth A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) profile for wireless headphones & speakers' connection and not intended for PlayStation 5.

      You can connect our XB100 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker to your television (via Bluetooth- the TV must support Bluetooth A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile)) so you can get the audio from the PlayStation 5.

      If you need more information or technical assistance with your product, please feel free to contact us and we'll be more than happy to assist you. You may send us an email at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following:

    BOOOOOOOOOO This particular music lover is less than impressed with these speakers. I bought 2, because I'm an 80s baby, so I had a certain trust for SONY no more trust here. I was initially inspired to try these upon realizing that my current JBL speakers(Clip4) do not have the PartyBoost option, which connects the speakers to each other. These may connect to each other but the sound is INFERIOR in all caps. These often sit in my home unused. At this moment I'd realized I had forgotten my JBL at work and I am on this site to purchase another to pick up TODAY instead of listening to my 2 janky Sonys all weekend boooo.

      Hi BUFFYwuffy,

      We are sorry to hear that you are not impressed with the sound quality of your Sony XB100 compact Bluetooth speakers. This is definitely not the customer experience we want you to have. When listening to music wirelessly with 2 speakers using the Stereo Pair function, we highly recommend placing the speakers away from devices such as a microwave oven, a wireless LAN access point, a TV, radio or tuner, etc., that could affect the Bluetooth connection quality as well as the sound quality. Make sure to turn up the volume of the speakers and the connected device.

      We take all user input seriously and will make sure your comments reach the appropriate person. If you are still having the same issue, you can email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

      Hi user734443,

      Thank you for choosing and purchasing our SRSXB100 Compact Bluetooth Speaker. This is definitely not the news that we would like to hear. Please allow us to help you and turn this into a better experience. The sound quality of the speaker will depend in the source that you're playing. Also, the sound may become low in the following cases like if the built-in battery is running low and the charge indicator flashes slowly. In this case, turn off the speaker and charge the built-in battery sufficiently. You may also use the Sony Music Center app to customize and adjust audio settings depending in your preference.

      For us to better assist you, please email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

    Never receieved the speaker, so can't revoew the actual product. Im here to review best buy/shipt partnership. The product was delivered, left in plain site, and stolen. Neither best buy or shipt wanted to take accountability for the loss. I had to eat the loss bc of their unprofessional standards/ lack of care and responsibility. I will never use either company again.
