Sony XB100 Compact Bluetooth Speaker – Black
I picked up the Sony XB100 recently, and it’s been a great little speaker for everyday use.
What I Like
- Compact & Portable: Super lightweight and easy to carry around. The strap makes it perfect for travel or outdoor use.
- Sound Quality: For its size, the audio is surprisingly clear with decent bass. It easily fills a small room or outdoor space without distortion.
- Battery Life: Impressive — lasts all day on a single charge, which is ideal for long outings.
- Durability: Feels solid and has a water/dust-resistant design, so I don’t worry about using it outside.
- Connectivity: Quick Bluetooth pairing and stable connection with my phone.
Areas for Improvement
- Bass Depth: While good for casual listening, bass lovers might find it lacking compared to larger speakers.
- Volume: It’s powerful for its size, but not meant for very large gatherings.
Final Thoughts
The Sony XB100 is a fantastic compact speaker for the price. It’s stylish, durable, and delivers reliable sound quality with excellent battery life. Perfect for travel, casual listening, or outdoor use. If you want booming bass or party-level volume, you’ll need to look at bigger models, but for portability and everyday enjoyment, this one hits the sweet spot.

Didn't really know what to expect. Never purchased a Bluetooth speaker before. Glad I got this one. Build quality seems robust and sturdy. Sound quality is a little heavy on the bass end but personally it works for me. I mostly listen to podcasts tho. Battery life is good and lasts me all day. The quick connect feature with Android is a nice touch too that my other Bluetooth devices don't have

Huge sound in this little speaker. Super portable. Can be held easily and comfortably with one hand.
The cylinder shape and texture make it great to use during phone conversations. Clarity of convo and music is very good.
Battery life is pretty good.
Better than competitors in my experience anyway.
Have not tested the limits of BT range or water resistance.

Imagine a device that doesn’t just play music but breathes life into every beat. The XB100 portable speaker stands as a testament to this dream. Compact yet powerful, it is a masterpiece of sound engineering that fits in the palm of your hand. The XB100 redefines the boundaries of portable audio with its robust and crystal-clear sound quality. The bass, deep and rich, seems to echo from the depths of the earth, while the treble notes are as light and ethereal as a feather dancing in the breeze.
What truly sets the XB100 apart is its innovative True Wireless Stereo technology, allowing you to pair two speakers for an immersive stereo experience that fills any space with dynamic, high-fidelity sound. This feature transforms ordinary gatherings into memorable music-filled events. Moreover, its rugged, waterproof design makes it a fearless companion for all adventures, from sandy beaches to snowy peaks.
Battery life? The XB100 has it in spades. It keeps the party going long after other speakers have fallen silent. In summary, the XB100 isn’t just a speaker; it’s a portal to an auditory paradise, a compact herald of high-quality sound, and the ultimate companion for any music enthusiast on the go.

This little speaker is great! Very long battery life and nice sound for its size. It sounds best on a hard flat surface which it seems to use to create bass. The bass could be a little distorted at times but for its size its not bad.

I purchased this product to provide better sound and portability when connecting to video meetings via phone and PC.
The product itself is a nice sized, easy to use device that connects easily to phone and tablet devices.
Sound quality is very good, as is the microphone.
Connectivity and set up to get this working on a Win 11 PC is complex and difficult without a high level of capability, hence not suitable for a novice. The help available on the internet only takes you so far. While I have managed to get this working, it did require a few hours of investigation, trial and error, not simple plug and play with Bluetooth connectivity.
Note, I would not recommend using the USB connection from your PC to the speaker and expecting it to work, I gave up on that.

For the price, this little speaker does a pretty good job. The sound is good, the Bluetooth connection is quick and the strap is actually more handy than I originally thought it would be.

Solid little travel speaker. Better than decent base and the clarity is spot on. The size works for me as I need it to not take up much space in my travel bag. Only downside is the charging cable is VERY short and mine works intermittently.
Perfect! We're thrilled that you like the durability, sound quality, and battery life of the speaker. Thank you for choosing Sony!

I bought this to use at work, it does the job , it sounds good.I only wish it was a little louder, because I work in a factory setting. Battery life is great.

Good Little speaker. It was louder in the store. The volume level with my I Phone can't get as loud as the demo at the store. Good sound quality for indoor use. Overall good speaker for the money as long as you are close by or use it indoors. Battery life is excellent. Holds a charge for a long time.
Thanks for commenting! We are thrilled to hear about your satisfaction with the superb performance of your XB100. We appreciate your feedback with the loudness/volume of this portable speaker. 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.

With impressive sound quality, this device is a great pick for those who love to listen to music while out and about. Since it's Bluetooth-compatible, it's easy to stream your favorite tunes from your devices to play on the speaker. Its default sound adds some extra boom in the bass, bringing genres like EDM and hip-hop to life.

Affordable and the sound is great! I needed something for going to the beach and work outs outside which this is perfect for since it comes with a band that lets you hand it / attach it anywhere you go. It's also super cute and the color is beautiful!!

This speaker is compact and cute. It is easy to use and charges quickly when charging is needed. I use this speaker in a smaller space, but it also sounds loud enough in larger rooms in my house. I am looking forward to using it at the beach and outside for cookouts. The bass does make the speaker move a bit, nothing crazy though.
Hi Reen, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us! We are very glad to hear you find the SRS-XB100 compact and cute! It's also great to know you find it easy to use and that it charges quickly. We designed it to have surprising sound for its size, so it's wonderful to hear it fills both smaller and larger rooms in your house. We hope you have a fantastic time using it at the beach and your cookouts! The extra bass feature is designed to give your music a little punch, so it's interesting to hear your observation about it. Thanks again for sharing!
