Sony SRS-XB13 review: a budget Bluetooth speaker to use outside

The Sony SRS-XB13 isn't perfect but it is very cheap

Very small and portable ; Waterproof and dustproof ; Pair 2 of the speakers together

Sound could be improved ; Long charge time ; Poor microphone

The Sony SRS-XB13 is a small portable Bluetooth speaker with upsides and downsides. It's cheap, waterproof and the battery lasts for ages but the sound quality leaves a lot to be desired and it takes ages to charge.

Sony SRS-XB13 Review

Sony has no shortage of Bluetooth speakers to choose from, some of which are massive in terms of both size and sound. On the other end of the spectrum, the $59.99 Sony SRS-XB13 is small enough to be thrown in a tote and taken wherever you go. It's...

Gets loud for its modest size Sturdy, waterproof build

Can distort at high volume levels Bass vibrations cause speaker movement across flat surfaces

Sony's outdoor-friendly SRS-XB13 speaker waterproof build is probably its best selling point—the audio performance is roughly what you’d expect from a speaker this size.

Sony SRS-XB13 Bluetooth speaker review: Sonic goodness on your wrist

Sony's $60 SRS-XB13 compact Bluetooth speaker is one of the best-sounding, monophonic personal speakers I've run across. Of course, there's only so much you can do with its diminutive dimensions and a single speaker, but Sony seems to have maximized...

Good monophonic sound Super portable and attractive More bass than most speakers this small IP67 rated (water and dust resistant)

Still not a ton of bass compared to larger speakers Not overly loud

This small, IP67-rated speaker is as good as it gets for its diminutive size, delivering more bass than its rivals. Buy two and combine them into a very portable, and very stereo solution.

Sony SRS XB-13 review

Tiny form, but loud as a horn

Great mid-range ; Rumbling loud low end ; Battery life ; IP67 rated

Needs to be pushed to max volume

Affordable, compact and great for camping, the XB-13 is worth it.

Sony SRS-XB13 Wireless Speaker Review

Sony's latest compact wireless speaker is IP67 dust and water resistant.

Good design, convenient controls ; IP67 dust and water resistance ; Good battery life ; Very good sound quality ; Loud and detailed for its size

A bit expensive

Sony has a reputation for good wireless personal audio products, and the SRS-XB13 wireless speaker lives up to that. The SRS-XB13 punches considerably above its weight and its sound matches up to what you might expect from much larger wireless speakers.
