Sony - SRS-XB100

Sony ult field 1 gives an amazing punch in the shower, JBL flip 6 is a good option too, but if you really want a bang for your buck, the soundcore motion 300 is unbeatable with the right EQ (if you don't like creating a personal EQ, you can search one on Google too). And for a smaller option, the Sony XB100.

The Sony SRS-XB100 is a great choice for beach trips. It’s ultra-compact, has a 16-hour battery life, and is IP67 waterproof, making it perfect for wet and sandy conditions. Plus, it’s built with a durable UV coating to resist sun exposure.

Yes, the Sony SRS-XB100 comes with a built-in strap, so you can easily carry it around or secure it to your beach bag or towel. It's super lightweight and portable, making it perfect for taking along on your beach days.

Absolutely! Despite its small size, the Sony SRS-XB100 delivers clear sound with enhanced bass. You’ll still get full, rich audio, making it a great companion for music while you're soaking up the sun at the beach.

For mini BTs, I went for (2) Sony XB100s (L & R) mainly for the driver size.

Hi, A quick update to the above. So I have just completed another round of reviews of mini Bluetooth speakers, supporting the Requiremints speakers team. Well, to make long story short, these are the best options for skiing and snowboarding to my opinion (weight - under 10 ounces), and you can read a bit more in [this page](https://requiremints.com/guide/best-bluetooth-speakers-skiing-&-snowboarding/): 1. **JBL Clip 5** \- A new model for this successful family of mini speakers, with improved sound. It will cost you about $80, but it is rugged, waterproof and have a great sound for its size and weight. The clip it has is super helpful, tough if you are doing an extreme skiing and snowboarding, I would tie it with an addition small wire for a backup. 2. **JBL Clip 4** \- Because the Clip 5 is out, you can find it with a reduced costs ($50) - it is still a great value for money and the sound is excellent. 3. **Sony SRS-XB100** \- Another excellent mini Bluetooth with a great sound, very popular. It is waterproof and come with a strap to tie it to your bag. It is a great option in case you want to use it also in other activitis. If you are really on a budget, the Clip 3 may be a good option (a bit old but can do the work if you dont want to invest). Hope this helps, please let me know what you think, comment and advise other options. Good luck

If you want a small speaker that can easily fit to your bag, so either take the JBL Clip 5 or the Sony SRS-XB100. Both will deliver nice sound compared to their size. The clip, can be easily attached to the coat or bag, and both are IPX7 waterproof. Hope this helps.

XB100 is very small speaker, with a great sound signature and strong bass for its size

I use Sony xb100 and have been very happy with it.

Probably your best bet if you dont need to max your budget is something between the bose flex and the soundcore x600. I’ve Read a lot good about the ultimate ears boom but never saw one. Today I’ve actually bought one Sony xb-100: it’s good enough. For indoor is enough powerful for when I’m alone (main use) and for a room with 4/6 people. Only “issue” I had was the sound too thin when i first turned it on. Really too thin. i went on spotify settings and i noticed it had reduced bass EQ, after i put boosted bass it’s great. I like to have a smaller speaker than the JBL flip since most of the times i wouldnt need that and it’s half the size and weight. But it’s a 25€ speaker. I could easily buy another orange one in the future to just swap em when one is low battery or to pair em for stereo. But if I didnt wanted a small speaker to just trash around I would went straight to the x600 imo. Anyway, the best one for 300 is probably the bose max.

So I went ahead an ordered a Sony SRS-XB100. It has very good sound for the size. Hissing wise... well it does produce a hiss if I turned the top of it (the speaker end) towards either of my ears. However, it's nowhere near as bad as the two Soundcore ones I have. I'd say it has about the same amount of white noise as the JBL Flip 5 has. However, the good news is that if I put it down so it sits on its bottom part, the speaker grill pointing upwards towards the ceiling, then there is no audible hiss/white noise anymore. So it seems the hiss is directional. I think [Obvious-Bird-3589](https://www.reddit.com/user/Obvious-Bird-3589/) was right writing "Nearly all portable Bluetooth speakers have a low level hiss because they all use inexpensive small embedded amps.". I think this is actually the case. But, at least with this Sony I'm okay (as long as the speaker grill is not pointing towards me :-))

a pair of sony xb100. possibly the best mini speakers that have AAC and SBC audio codecs. super easy to pack 2 small speakers vs 1 bigger speaker imo.

The Sony XB100 is an amazing speaker for the price, even though most people say its "Quiet" it really isn't. It gets really loud and my sweet spot is around 50-58% volume and the bass is really good, it gets fairly deep and is boomy it sounds best at 100% and it really doesn't distord at all. Its really portable in my opinion due to the fact that it has a versitile strap and its shorter than a pop can while being wider than one. Its the perfect speaker for me as i use it for 2-4 hours maybe even longer on the weekends, the battery on this speaker is great its never died on me and the lowest it has been was 40% due to the fact that it came at that percentage when it arrived. Highly recommend. Sorry for the long comment (:

Btw i got mine for $41.23 on sale for christmas and also its more a budget option so there are for sure better products out there but this is also a good option if you want to save money

Does the jbl go do white noise? I havent noticed anything on my sony xb100 nor on my tribit xsound go.

Roam isnt much smaller than flex. Maybe jbl go/clip or sony xb100

sony xb100 perfect for travel/bike, strap has flexible options. Speakerphoene included.
