SRS-XB100 Wireless Bluetooth Portable Lightweight Speaker, Light Gray

I love the sound. This little Bluetooth speaker cost me a little more than half a Benjamin and turns my smartphone into a respectable sound system. Plus, it’s compact, portable, battery powered (for approximately six to eight hours at high volumes w/quick recharge using the newest standardized rechargeable/data connection that has a small, rounded-rectangular “pill”-shaped reversible plug), waterproof, and incredibly drop-resistant. When I drop it, instead of worrying I tell myself, "Relax, it's a Sony, it will be fine," and it always is. This is actually my second one. I dropped the first speaker many dozens of times over the past four years (easily 50+) and it continued to play flawlessly. What finally pushed me to replace it wasn’t normal wear and tear. During a cross-town move from Brooklyn to Manhattan, I carelessly packed it in an open box. A sudden stop from the moving van bounced it out of the unsecured box, and a heavy table ended up resting on top of it. Amazingly, it wasn’t crushed or dented. The only issue was a slight decline in sound quality at higher volumes — the bass was no longer as clean. Considering what it survived, I was thrilled to find another one just like it for sale on Amazon. Because it’s affordable and so durable, I kept the original as a backup and bought a new one.

I really like this speaker. It’s very small/compact but has a very nice, high quality, clear sound. The Bluetooth connection is SUPER easy to use; I just downloaded the app and it connected immediately - no repeated set up attempts and no fuss! And the Bluetooth connection doesn't drop - even when switching back and forth between multiple phones/devices which is somewhat rare with these kinds of speakers. It has a strap with a "buckle" so you can strap it on to almost anything and it's also waterproof which gives me peace of mind since I'm using it in the bathroom to listen to while showering etc. It plays a LONG time on a charge but you can also keep it plugged in all the time with the easy to use USB-C port. It's not the loudest speaker in the world but given it's very compact size, I really wouldn't expect it to be and I'd prefer crisp sound over booming volume. I would NOT recommend this you are trying to find a speaker for a large room or to hear throughout multiple rooms but for smaller areas (like a deck/patio, a smaller bedroom, or a bathroom which is where I am using it), it's an incredible deal. I got it on sale during prime days but depending on the color and when you buy, I've seen it at or near the same low price since. I'm definitely happy with this purchase!

Nice little speaker. You're not filling a large room with sound with this little guy, but in a small space it's a great choice. I'm not an audiophile so I'm not going to try to describe the sound in any detail, but I'll say it's pleasant, full sound, and the battery life seems excellent.

Tested it side by side with rhe ULT 1. Item is good, but the ULT 1 is louder / has more bass. I would still recommend to someone on a limited budget, but they're getting what they pay for. I tested next to a busy road. Noticeably quieter than the ULT 1, but you can still hear it. Bass is definitely weaker than the ULT 1. All that being said, it is impressive for a small speaker. You can see the size difference in the photo. Definitely great for indoors, suitable for personal listening (right next to you) outside. You'll lose the sound 25-50 feet away from you outside though. Its a good deal under $40, I grabbed it for $33. Not worth it over $50. I picked the ULT 1 up for $78, just to compare. Ended up returning this one because I don't need both. Also, you can customize EQ on the ULT 1, but not this one. Sound is very clear, great for a small speaker, but max loudness is comparable to a phone on max volume rather than a portable speaker. Worth it if you want a speaker that is tiny and cheap, but if you're looking for great bass without the cord / bulkiness - consider the ULT 1. Btw, ULT 1 is a good deal under $100, don't pay over that for that one. But its legit worth it, if you're willing to pay about double the price of this one. Sound improvement isn't double exactly, but the bass and overall loudness are definitely noticeable. Final note - form factor, design, size, and build quality are great on both. You could feel comfortable using either inside or outside and both are light. 4 stars here instead of 5 because of the bass limitation and lack of EQ - keep in mind the bass is better than every other speaker at this price point (under $50), just can't compete with others under $100.

Quality made personal speaker, Bluetooth connects w/o complaint. Not particularly loud. Works fine on my desktop and headboard. Battery life seems good, but have not timed.

Great sound and battery life. Fits in almost all cup holders and perfect for a golf cart!

Really surprised with this the sound is well balanced makes the music sound better. Charging was easy and it keeps charge very well. I would recommend for easy use not too heavy not overly big. It's just the right size for taking everywhere. You don't have to worry about being too heavy. It seems durable.

The SRS-XB100 is a lightweight, highly portable speaker. The sound quality is excellent, especially for such a small unit. Highs are crisp and clean, mids are solid and clear, and lows are punchy and robust. The interface is easy to use, although the stereo pairing function can be a little finicky. But where this small speaker really falls short is the volume. For several years I've used two similar, slightly larger speakers from a different brand: one in my bathroom and one in my kitchen, pairing them both together for outdoor listening. When it was time to replace them I ordered two of the SRS-XB100 and tried the same approach. But I found that a single speaker was barely loud enough to be heard over the shower, and that I needed to pair them together to hear music clearly while cooking. I wouldn't even try to use them for outdoor activities. In short, if you want a small speaker for use at moderate volumes in a sterile listening environment, this is an excellent choice. But if you enjoy music at higher volumes while participating in other activities you should look elsewhere.

Diamond for Music Lovers!! I was looking for a Bluetooth speaker mainly for personal use and for home. My main priority was good music quality and decent audio and bass. And Song's SRS-XB100 fulfilled my requirements perfectly. Pros :- 1. Best sound , audio and vocal clarity you will find in this price range. 2. Very good battery life 3.Dust and Water Resistance Cons:- Though I don't have any cons as per my usage and expectations, but it may sound less loud and audio won't feel like blasting in the room and outdoors. I bought it at ₹2999 from The Independence Day sale. Who should buy it? Music lovers, especially and professionals looking for a small, handy and portable and easy to use bluetooth speaker Someone looking for quality of music rather than loudness, bass or that party vibe. Please avoid buying it if you are looking for that loud bass that boosts up the atmosphere, though it's bass is also very good, you won't be disappointed, but still don't consider it as a hard party speaker. Ideal for music lovers looking for usage at home and personal use.

Ótimo compra! Caixinha com ótima qualidade de som e bons graves. Achei melhor do que a Alexa. Discreta ao se conectar.

Really good sound. Solid bass. Perfect for around the campsite or in the office or bathroom. Not really loud but more than loud enough for the intended use.

Sound like I love my sony I like my sony this model srs xb100b extra bass portable wireless speaker good

Este parlantito es pequeño pero funciona muy bien, se empareja facil y rapido, tiene buen volumen, la calidad de audio es muy buena a pesar de que solo tiene un driver, el bajo tiene buena pegada sin distorcionar, los medios se escuchan bastante bien y los agudos estan controlados. Puedes ambientar una habitación o una sala, incluso una reunión de menos de 10 personas. Si deseas ambientar una fiesta en area exterior si debes buscar otras alternativas, para uso personal ya sea en area exterior o interior esta perfecto. Yo lo utilizo para escuchar musica y podcasts desde mi escritorio y wow de 10 el parlantito. NOTA para Audiofilos: En este tipo de parlantes el audio se escucha algo comprimido, hay mas ganancia en el Bajo y aunque esté controlado y no distorcione se mete mucho en las otras frecuencias, los medios estan regulares y los agudos estan redondeados. Ojo no es defecto, es una característica de este tipo de parlantes bluetooth comerciales no importa la marca, el tamaño o incluso el precio, estos estan enfocados para un disfrute musical diferente. Si buscas Hi-End en audio hay todo un mundo de monitores de estudio, DACs. Amps que puedes investigar que te van a brindar otra experiencia musical. Saludos desde MTY México.
