My new daily driver for an on-the-go speaker
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've been on the hunt for a solid compact speaker, and I'm happy I finally landed on this one. The sound quality is amazing for its size, the battery life is ridiculous, and the call quality is surprisingly really good with its included echo canceling. It's easy on the eyes with its form factor and the included strap is a nice touch that compliments its design. I definitely want to get another one for the stereo function as well, hats off to Sony for improving upon what they had before alongside punching above its weight.

Compact is an understatement
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Being a tiny speaker has its advantages with being portable and travel friendly. It also has its disadvantages lacking volume and a powerful bass. The good and bad thing about this speaker is that you have to buy more than one to sync via Bluetooth and create a surround sound effect. Let's look at it for what it's worth, the speaker has very simple controls and syncs to your phone with ease. It also plays a decent sound for it's size, not super impressive but it's gets the job done for a small room. Battery life is a crazy long 16hr, dust proof, water proof, built in strap to hook on bikes, strollers, gym bags, etc. Seems like the type of speaker you bring to the beach or picnic, buy only for your personal listening pleasure. If you want to liven up a party, you need a bigger speaker or get another one to sync together. They do NOT sync with other incompatible Bluetooth speakers, only the exact same one. I'm not sure who would buy this or why, not saying it's not good, I just don't see a scenario that would justify anyone buying it.

Sony-XB100 bluetooth speaker
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This bluetooth speaker is hard to compare with some of the other bluetooth speakers I have owned due to how fast it is to pare to my cellphone. I had my cellphone setting on my desk and the bluetooth was on already as I have things in my car that stay connected to it when I first turned the speaker on I was not expecting it to show up on my phone without going into the search feature but what happened was even with the screen on the lock screen it' popped up telling me that I could pare it to my phone within seconds of turning it on. My next thing was to try and pare it to my pc to see if it would play the sound from an online game that I play I turned the speak off then turned on the bluetooth on my pc turned the speaker back on and again within seconds it was found and ready to be pared this is the only con with the speaker itself even though it was connected to my pc and showed up in the list for output in the game settings it would not play but it would when connected to my phone. I brought on the app I have on my phone turned it on and then the speaker the sound from it is beyond compare to the only bluetooth speaker that I have for as small as this thing is it is very clear and thumps with the bass kicks in and you can actually connect it with other speakers that are bluetooth so you get stereo sound that was the pros of it and the cons yes I 100% would recommend it to friends and family

Highly recommend! Great sound, size, and value!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This little bluetooth speaker kinda surprised me. I've had dozens of various small and megaboom bluettoth speakers over the years and I figured this would have the same tinny and hollow sound like many others in this compact form factor. Not the case in my opinion. I'd equate it to a small home speaker from a certain fruit branded company. This Sony has very good rich sound and decent bass as well, even as the volume increases. I'm considering getting a second one for a stereo speaker setup. Battery life is also fantastic in my use. At my volume levels, I used it 9+ hours and it still probably had a bit of juice in it. Only recharged because I wanted to take it out and about the next day.

Great quality but too quiet
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound quality was notably better rhan my JBL clip 3, however this speaker is disappointingly quiet and even when put into a small bathroom right next to the shower head while I shower the speaker is somehow still quiet. The water proof feature was very good and the speaker felt very good quality in general. I would still go with either a higher trim sony speaker or a JBL speaker instead.

Posted .Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We are delighted to hear that you are pleased with the remarkable sound quality and exceptional build of your XB100. However, we sincerely apologize if the speaker's loudness/maximum volume did not meet your expectations. This is not the experience we aimed to provide.
The loudness and sound quality of the speaker can often be influenced by the audio source and the device you are using. We recommend adjusting the volume on both the speaker and the connected device to help identify the issue. Additionally, please keep in mind that the sound level may decrease if the rechargeable built-in battery is running low after prolonged use at high volumes, even if the speaker is connected to an AC outlet using a commercially available USB AC adapter or to a computer with a USB charging port.
For an enhanced audio experience, you may also consider pairing your SRS-XB100 with another SRS-XB100 for a more powerful sound.

Sony XB100 Is Fantastic
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m a musician, hence I am very picky about music playing devices. After listening to the demo unit at Bestbuy I purchased the Sony XB100 wireless Bluetooth speaker June 5, 2023. I use it to play music mp3 files on my Android 12 phone: jazz, pop, & classical music. I wanted a small, easy to carry speaker, that sounded good. Starting with typical pop tunes they sound super on this Sony XB100. The sound of jazz string bass playing was also deep and rich with NO distortion. This particularly impressed me. Classical music, with a lot of highs and midrange, also were clean sounding. To me I classify speakers into two categories. (1) Ones that project sound outward, and (2) ones where the sound seems to be inside the speaker wanting to come out, but can’t. This Sony XB100 is a winning (1) that projects beautifully into a room. Needless to say (1) wins for me personally. This Sony XB100 speaker comes with a superb setup booklet. After charging the first time I turned it on and it immediately went into bluetooth paring mode. I looked at my Android 12 phone and it popped up a finger tap window asking if I wanted to pair it. One touch, done, paired, and ready to play music. The touch controls on this XB100 speaker are also excellent. I played music nonstop for 2 hours. I plugged it to recharge it. That took only 5 minutes. The USB charge cable that came with it is a USB C cable that plugs into the XB100 either way. Simple. I want to say that I first purchased another maker’s small Bluetooth speaker whose name begins with a “B.” It did not come with a specific instruction booklet. Instead “B’s” little booklet featured nothing that was helpful in many world languages. You had to install a phone app from “B” to make the speaker work. Really? Yes! I took it back for a refund. In closing, I highly recommend the Sony XB100 speaker.

- When the ambient temperature of the speaker is high.
If the sound becomes low while in use, follow the procedure below.
1. Turn off the speaker.
