Product Reviews

I'm using this on my desk at work and it's great. For a small device the sound quality is great and loud if required.

there are very few faults to this speaker. i really like it and can take it anywhere.

bought near the end of november. worked fine. now it wont turn on or charge.

Recently bought and no problems. Very clear sounds. Feels like you are at party and fills the room with bass

Bought for christmas gift for my mum. Its hard to reconnect the speakers to the phone. It doesn't want to connect even after turning off and on again. It just keeps loading. She complains the sound is too soft at max volume.

I had another brand of wireless bluetooth speakers, even bought two for better sound coverage. However, the bluetooth connectivity worsened over time. This XB13 speaker has good battery life and doesn't get interfered by other users who tried to connect with my devices.

This little product is exactly what I was looking for! The size and weight are ideal for use on the go. It has up to 16 hours use per charge, takes only 4.5 hours to recharge. It is easy to use, simple to connect even if you do not know much about technology. It has a decent sound quality and the best bit is that it is waterproof - brilliant for outdoor use and travelling. The adjustable strap that is included is also an added bonus. Love it so much I bought another one the next day!

I recently bought two of these as I felt like one would not have been enough. For their size, the sound output is exceptional. The sound fills out my room and I'm pleased with my purchase. Thanks SONY!!!

I first bought a cheaper, known make, well-rated speaker which was OK but crackled every now and then so sent it back and exchanged it for the coral pink Sony one, about a month ago. For such a small, neat and portable speaker, I am very impressed with the sound quality. It was very simple to set up on Bluetooth and connects every time. Good to know that Sony haven’t lost their touch!

Only tried it out tonight, bought to take on holiday and I think it will be perfect!

I bought this about a month ago and it's absolutely amazing. Although it's too quiet if more than 3 metres away. When you decrease the volume it doesn't sound clear enough. But overall it's fun for listening to music

I buy for someone present amazing speaker. V nice .

Bought about a month and many friends were asking where to buy. They commented on the quality of the bass and clarity.

Bought this as was going away, easy to use great sound

I bought this speaker a month back, sound is not that great, not worth the price. Could try something better

The sound is clear and good. The bass is solid and power. Myself and my wife love it a lot.

The product was brought to be used for calls during the WFH use. It does a good job of a speakerphone by picking-up the voice and helps me to be hands free during long calls. Long battery life, good bluetooth connectivity, USB type C port for charging all add to the ease of product use. Few improvements to consider. 1. The strap can come out of the plastic loop very easily. Needs a fix here. 2. I would prefer a front facing speaker instead of ceiling facing speaker (something like JBL GO 2 / 3). 3. The Sony name has been printed on the other side while all the, microphone, the LED lights, the USB connector are placed on the opposite side. If you are regularly increasing or decreasing the volume, then it feels like you have fiddling on the back side of the unit.

I have severe tinnitus and had been using mobile phone during the night to generate peaceful relaxing sounds. Having been told this was not a good idea to do this for 8hrs a night with my phone I purchased this and it was easy to set up. I open app on phone and sound comes out of this speaker The sound is great. It's very easy to use by

This is actually my 2nd Sony SRS_XB13 Extra Bass speaker in the past 2yrs. I used my first one almost 2yrs ago. A lot on construction job sites, canoeing, swimming, socializing and having beverages this little speaker has lived up to its name. I think it's great actually when one of my friends has a "Full size pill speaker and thinks it's top notch" and I'm not one to boast but I'm like "... hey man, check out my little speaker for real. And if you place it evenly especially on a thin wood table surface it will even amplify the bass through the surface it is sitting on. And I'm always wanting to be the ""d.j."... I do not like that term I just love music and this speaker is worth every penny. I wouldn't hesitate purchasing another Sony product.

It is much louder than my phone's volume & good bass..

Fantastic product all round . Just wish it lasted all day.

My original review is below this updated comment, I just wanted to add that the bluetooth range of this thing is brilliant, I seem to disconnect wherever I am in the house! Again you won't be disappointed with this little beauty. Looks - Out of the box it feels well made, sturdy and looks like a premium product better than its £50 ish price tag. It's not heavy and along with the IP rating this makes it a great travelling companion. Battery - Coming with a good charge you can get going straight away. The unit boasts up to 16hr battery life and having had it a week or so I have yet to run out so this can't be far off the mark (although my listening hasn't been at full volume). Sound - You might forget this thing only cost you £50 at times as in the right conditions it sounds great. You need to have the right cavity to make use of the sound path but no matter where you put it (including hanging in free space) you will probably be pleasantly surprised. Don't get me wrong it won't blow you away but, at this price you wouldn't expect it to. I found that the sound was better from a standard good quality FLAC music file than any 360 music files and can only assume there is something with the structure that doesn't translate without LDAC or APTx HD. I own a few bluetooth speakers both high quality and small travel size and this thing occupies the space inbetween quite nicely. I only have one other speaker in this bracket and it was more expensive (albeit a couple of years ago) but can honestly say this performs better. Overall - I don't think anyone would be disappointed with the value for money and sound quality this offers and because it is a Sony you get build quality and reliability.
