SRS-XB13 Compact Wireless Extra Bass Bluetooth Speaker with 16 Hours of Battery Life, Type-C, IP67 Waterproof, Dustproof, Speaker with Microphone, Loud Audio for Calls

I am really knocked out by these. I have bought two now, one for the bedroom and one for the car. Connect to your phone with bluetooth on and Spotify is a breeze. Battery charge lasts a long time, easy to charge with the supplied USB-C cable. I am really impressed with the sound. Despite it's diminutive size, the sound is full and the bass is sonorous. Sound easily fills my (small) living room or bedroom. Good quality Sony build quality. Best standalone bluetooth speaker I've used and excellent value for money.

Beautiful quality of sound, great range so you can hear all the instruments together. Powerful for a small speaker, crisp and clear. Love it and worth every penny.

The charging port wasn't aligned in the device properly unfortunately. But sound quality was good, good value for a Sony product and easy to connect.

Great for in the Kitchen when cooking or in the garden when pottering about.

Great little speaker. Dead easy to set up. Very long battery life between charges. Fantastic frequency range. Good max volume. Excellent prduct at a very sensible price.

Just started using this little guy. For the size and price this is a must have purchase for on the go sounds. It has a great sound but of course not massive volume, but more than you'd think considering the size. The quality is amazing though, so much so I am going to order another one of these for those stereo moments. The battery life is a big positive factor also as it seems to never want to run out. It is easy to use and pair, basically Bluetooth pair and away you go.

I bought this looking for something small and light to use in the car and take on holiday. Sony are usually reliable, but this speaker is dreadful. Tinny, quiet sound with little bass, it sounds horrible on all types of music. I quickly sent it back and bougfht a JBL Clip5, which is just incredible, a completely different beast entirely with an absolutely massive sound, so don't waste your money on this inferior product.

Disapointing sound quality, preferred Ultimate MINIROLL.

Klein und handlich. Gute Qualität. Bin sehr zufrieden.

Comme toujours Sony fait des produits de qualité. Elle a une autonomie et un rendu sonore exceptionnelle pour cette taille.

Small, tastefully designed, easily removable strap so I can have it on my desk. I was hesitant about black, but it looks sharp and good quality. Sound quality is great. Overall super happy! I tried some obscure brands before getting this one but they had issues with bluetooth connectivity, and frankly looked not that great, finally decided to go back to sony, I’m happy I did. Quality is quality!

TLDR: It's a fantastic little speaker for the price! Perfect if your laptop or phone speaker just isn't cutting it. Long Version: I needed something for listening to music or watching youtube videos as I'm cooking or cleaning. My phone and laptop just can barely keep up as I move around cooking or cleaning a few feet away. This speaker is great for filling the house with volume! While I try not to push speakers and amps much past 50% volume, to avoid overwhelming or over heating them. The volume of the Sony XB13 remains gentle and quiet until you get to 50% volume. Then it scales up rapidly just like you see in the Rting review. At first, I thought it was extremely quiet compared to the JBL Go 3. It was only after writing my first review, I decided to investigate the Rting's spec sheets. I couldn't understand that the Sony was within 1 DB of peak loudness with the Go 3 when it felt a quarter as loud. After pushing it to pushing it to 70-80% volume, I discovered that the loudness scales up exponentially to it's peak. It filled the entire house with sound at 70%, just as I had hoped for. This design of exponentially increasing volume is actually brilliant, because you can finely set the volume when you need it to be quiet. Then you can still get it loud and clear when you need it as well! Quite brilliant in my opinion. It really took me a while to appreciate this thing, now I love it! It's a fantastic little speaker if you can get one on sale for around $40! Almost unbeatable in this price range when you consider the price of buying speakers with an amp.

The lack of an aux port as compared to the previous (now harder to buy) iteration is a major flaw for this product. For what it's worth, it's definitely able to take a few hard knocks. The lanyard strap came undone whilst hanging off a sling bag, when descending the stairs, causing the speaker to take a tumble onto the hard concrete stairs. Apart from that permanent nick, and some dust, the speaker was unaffected. This speaker does not have "low latency", due to the Bluetooth profiles it supports, nor a low latency mode.
