Review on Sony SRS-XB13 Portable Compact Speaker - πŸ”Š Extra BASS, IP67 Waterproof, Bluetooth Enabled (Black, SRSXB13/B) by Loren Schmidt

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It's a great speaker - what it was designed to do

This is a good speaker for a home or outdoors. I actually thought it might be too loud for my use ie in the bathroom while in the shower. nobody mentions its use case when saying it's not loud enough, but for small to medium rooms and being close to the surroundings it's good that the bass was too big on the default settings (XB = Extra Bass). This made my music sound like trash and the volume was too high and too low at the same time. However, when I held down the play/call button and the Bluetooth button, it toggled the setting between "Stable Connection Priority" and "Sound Quality Priority," and the default mode has a lot less bass and sounds a lot better. If you don't like a lot of bass, try this out of scope. The online instructions were not clear. So when I use it in the shower I take it out of the shower and cover it with a little pouch for extra protection. So far, so good. doesn't even get wet, plus it's a great little speaker. I felt it was worth the extra money to buy a well known brand so I didn't have to go through cheap junk to find the right one. In general, I recommend to those who are afraid of cheap stuff.

Pros
  • Compact, portable design with multi-purpose strap included
Cons
  • Long delivery time
