Another aspect of this speaker is it's size it is smaller than i imagined and from what i saw in the videos that i saw Sony really took "Portable" into consideration when designing this speaker.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2025Color: BlackStyle: XB100Pattern: SpeakerVerified PurchaseSound quality is excellent and connectivity is easy but these things really have poor battery life especially if you need the volume all the way up to hear the music. I used these to drive for work and it gets noisy. It doesn’t last a full 8 hr shift. Now if you put the volume at half then sure but u can barely hear it. So eh depends on your use case. Indoors or if you’re at the beach for a couple hours then its perfect.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2025Color: BlackStyle: XB100Pattern: SpeakerVerified PurchaseAbsolutely LOVE this little speaker! While it's pretty small, it packs a punch, including decent bass! One of my biggest pet peeves with all of the other small speakers I've purchased is they have no bass. They have that tinny sound to them. If I wanted a tinny sound, I'd use my phone speaker. This is just a very nice sounding speaker with excellent frequency response.
It's about as big around as a pop can and 2/3 as tall so it is excellent for carrying around as needed, but this sits on my desk in front of me between my 2 monitors. It's wonderful having decent bass again at work, even at low volume. And no flashing LED light BS that a lot of cheaper speakers have. Just excellent sound! 5 stars!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2025Color: BlackStyle: XB100Pattern: SpeakerVerified PurchaseI use these all the time. Get 2 of them for awesome stereo sound. Once you figure put how connect these for left and right channels, the sound is awesome. Connects to my my Samsung phone and tablet via Bluetooth. Battery lasts a long time as well but takes a while to fully charge again.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2023Color: OrangeStyle: XB100Pattern: SpeakerVerified PurchaseMy previous portable speaker (vintage 2008) had arrived at death's door, so I got the Sony as a replacement. The sound quality is rich and impressive. I was surprised by how much bass comes through. It's a snap to use, and it seems like just the right size. It fills the living room, or my car, with whatever I'm listening to. So far, the battery life has been nothing short of amazing (coming off a 15-year-old predecessor, I shouldn't be surprised).
While the volume the Sony generates is perfect for my apartment, a space the size of a classroom is just beyond its abilities. Yes, my students can hear whatever song I play at circle time, but the sound is softer than I'd like in that setting; if the equipment lets me down at all, it's here. That said, there's a limit to what one can ask of a speaker smaller than a soda can.
On the whole, I consider this mighty mite to have been money well-spent.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2025Color: BlackStyle: XB100Pattern: SpeakerVerified PurchaseI love the look and feel of this product. The bass on this speaker is excellent as well. It is a good speaker for small and quiet areas. I purchased this speaker to play music at work. I work in a large kitchen with lots of background noise. The music played by the speaker was almost completely drowned out. Do not recommend it for outdoor or loud environments.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thunder in a coffee cup – best speaker in sub-5000 segment
Color: BlueStyle: XB100Pattern: SpeakerVerified PurchaseREVIEW AFTER TWO WEEKS’ USE
Sony caught thunder in a cup and called it SRS XB-100. This speaker is pretty loud and clear for its size, purpose and price. It is strictly meant for personal use or a small gathering of 6-8 people at best. Yet this little coffee mug outsmarts every other speaker below 5000 Rs.
(Note – this speaker is not loud enough for a party. Those who feel that it is not loud enough for personal use may get an audiological evaluation to see if you have noise-induced hearing loss. Since hearing loss from loud noise (above 70 dB / 70% volume) is irreversible, try to reduce the loudness you listen to and follow 60:60 rule.)
AUDIO QUALITY
Vocals are loud, crisp and clear. Bass is good but not over-the-top. Good treble. From my experience, I would rate SRS XB-100 for various purposes as below.
Playing music files = 10/10
Playing podcasts = 8/10
Call quality = 8/10
Playing YouTube videos = 7/10
Playing Movies & Series = 7/10
Generally, 50%-60% volume was sufficient for audio files to be clear and loud enough. Podcasts needed around 70%. YouTube videos, Movies & Series needed 70%-100% and they largely depended on the quality of file as well. Some old BBC documentaries and series played as clear as any music file at 60% volume whereas Avatar, LOTR series and Spiderman needed at least 80% volume.
PORTABILITY
The MOST underrated aspect of this speaker. You could take it and hang it anywhere.
CHARGING & BATTERY LIFE
About 4 to 4.5 hours to charge fully. At around 60% volume, SRS XB-100 lasts for nearly 10 hours, 2 hours less than advertised. At full volume, it lasts nearly 6 hours. But it has no fast charging and the chord provided for charging is very small. These are the only cons I felt.
SONY MUSIC CENTRE APP
It just tells you how much battery is left, allow connecting with other Sony speakers for stereo effects and updates the software. It serves no other purpose for this speaker.
COMPARED TO OTHER SPEAKERS…….
From below 5000 range, only Tribit MaxsoundPlus comes close in XB-100’s audio quality. Tribit XsoundGo is not even as good as the good old Sony SRS-XB13 which got replaced by XB-100. To me, XB-100 sounded better than Tribit Stormbox Micro 2, and even Marshall Willen. XB-100 sounds way better even than Sony’s own 24W speaker SRS XE-200.
Don’t fall for the gimmick of speakers with more wattage. 1 watt means that speaker can produce maximum 87dB sound within 1 m distance. Whereas as a 20W speaker could produce only 97dB sound within 1 m distance. For comparison, train horns are blown at 90dB. Any sound above 90dB could cause earache and permanently damage hearing. Nobody plays songs and videos at that sound. As the distance increases beyond 1 m, loudness also decreases.
So unless you are not looking for a party speaker or something for an outdoor gathering, a speaker below 10W is sufficient. I am NOT talking here about how loud a speaker can get. There is no point in getting a speaker that is just earblastingly loud but lacks any clarity of sound.
So yeah. I am completely satisfied with this one. Try it; you too might be.
VishThunder in a coffee cup – best speaker in sub-5000 segment
Reviewed in India on August 21, 2023
Sony caught thunder in a cup and called it SRS XB-100. This speaker is pretty loud and clear for its size, purpose and price. It is strictly meant for personal use or a small gathering of 6-8 people at best. Yet this little coffee mug outsmarts every other speaker below 5000 Rs.
(Note – this speaker is not loud enough for a party. Those who feel that it is not loud enough for personal use may get an audiological evaluation to see if you have noise-induced hearing loss. Since hearing loss from loud noise (above 70 dB / 70% volume) is irreversible, try to reduce the loudness you listen to and follow 60:60 rule.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Gran calidad de sonido, pero no para espacios abiertos
Color: BlackStyle: XB100Pattern: SpeakerVerified PurchaseExcelente bocina con un sonido nítido y bajos muy buenos. La compré para usar en cuartos pequeños y cumple perfectamente su función. No tiene un volumen muy alto, así que si buscas algo para un jardín o patio, puede quedarse corta en potencia.
Aun así, la calidad del sonido es de lo mejor en este rango de precio, e incluso diría que suena mejor de lo que cuesta. Le doy 5 estrellas porque valoro más la calidad del audio que la potencia, pero ten en cuenta que no es una bocina para fiestas o grandes espacios abiertos.
