Disappointment in portable audio and video

XB 13 VERY not loud enough. The new "Sound Spreading" feature isn't flashy enough to require an update. The XB-13 doesn't play loud and makes you want more. The XB-12 was louder and had good bass. The upgrade costs no more than $50. Not recommended. I will pass this on to my nephew.

Pros
  • Up to 16 hours of battery life with indicator light
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Ideal for personal listening

I didn't buy this unit expecting the bass to disturb the neighbors or provoke a party. I bought this sound which is unheard of for the size, water resistance and USB-C charging. I trusted Sony to make a decent sounding personal speaker and this is exactly what I needed. I bought a salmon colored one and a blue one, if you pair them the sound gets even better. They are perfect in my office, in the kitchen or outside at the grill. Or maybe I'm just too old to listen to music really loud, but they

Pros
  • Sound diffusion processor expands sound in all directions
Cons
  • Reliability

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

This is a good speaker for private rooms or just outside. I actually thought it might be too loud for my use e.g. B. in the bathroom while I'm in the shower. Nobody mentions its use case when saying it's not loud enough, but for small to medium-sized rooms and being close to the surroundings it's a good thing 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

Pros
  • EXTRA BASS for deep, punchy sound
Cons
  • Only available in black

Great sound for my android phone.

I'm not a music lover and I don't understand music, but I don't like the flat, tinny sound when listening to music on my phone. I bought two of these speakers because I didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars, but I wanted to hear and really hear the music I like. These speakers reproduce all levels of sound, different instruments and voices that cannot be heard on my phone. The only negatives are that the charging cables are so short that it's difficult to charge the speaker's batteries, and…

Pros
  • Up to 16 hours of battery life with indicator
Cons
  • low

Quality balanced sound with good bass

Good punchy bass for such a compact unit. That's what the owner of significantly more powerful speakers says, I'm actually impressed. Good old-fashioned engineering makes a difference - unlike most other micro devices, Sony has managed to incorporate a passive heatsink that works like a subwoofer to actually reproduce the bass. The lack of these features puts it a league above the competition.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Replacement available
