Sony SRSXB13/B Extra Bass Portable Waterproof Speaker with Bluetooth, USB Type-C, 16 Hours Battery Life

I've enjoyed this speaker many times and keeps on going charge after chargeable that is just it's function delivery was fascinating I had Amazon drop off for pickup at Wiesbaden Market Elizabethtown PA ..

Great little speaker for the price. May not be loud enough for for some situations on the patio or in the garage, but it works great in a kitchen or home office setting.

Great buy

Bastante Bien...

Gave to my husband to use on the golf course, he loves it.

I bought one of these on sale because it was too cheap to pass up. To my surprise, they seem to have ironed out the wireless connection grief so I was up and running almost imediately. I compared this little Sony to a more expensive Bose and the sound, or rather the limitations, were about the same. The Bose sounded slightly better because the dispersion of the higher mid and treble sound was helped by the speaker being horizontal. After all, I'm not sitting on the ceiling. So I tried turning the Sony on it's side and to my ear, It's much better. The bass is not affected as It's produced by the ports (holes) around the bottom.As for the overall sound, voiume, etc. I doubt spending more will get you much more unless the speaker is much larger.Update. I bought a second speaker because you're supposed to be able to run them in stereo. This is possible, but what a time wasting visit to wireless land. Since the speakers all have the same Bluetooth address, you have to get one to connect, then send the spilt signal to the the other speaker. If you're somewhat lucky, you will swap the sound from speaker A to speaker B, which is better than nothing. If things get really "user friendly" both speakers will get confused and disconnect. If you hit the lottery, you'll have both speakers working, each carrying one channel of the stereo. But be prepared to put some time into this process.

Nice sound for a small speaker

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.
