SRS-XB23

Sony’s XB23 sounds RIGHT up ur alley bro.. im bout to pull the trigger on that I think for 60 bucks off amazon… I have always been biased towards Sony electronics tho ever since I was a kid. They just make quality, reliable, and affordable hardware for the money imo. Not too cheap but not super expensive. You get a lot of bang for ur buck with Sony and they don’t price gouge with the name like some brands do like JBL for instance

Sony srs-xb23 I manage a restaurant and my guys dont treat anything nicely. This little speaker is on its 5th year and hasnt missed a beat. On for at least 10+ hours a day every day

Thank you! My mom tends to clean when stressed and sometimes puts random stuff like her old XB-23 and MY XB-33 in places so random as a result. Now they just feel like fun little easter eggs I stumble across like earlier lol. She didn’t want hers so I just started trying to see what all they are capable of just now. I actually had just got the prompt and updated the 33 thinking nothing of it. This post is old but still was very helpful and informative despite that fact! Little late to the party but I appreciate it :)

Don't know about headphones but I've taken Sony Bluetooth speakers in the sauna for years with no issues. Anything in the SRS XB range are probably fine. A friend of mine had another brand speaker that looked really similar, same rubber case, same shape and size, same cover over the ports and same buttons. I recommend that they try it in the sauna. It broke the first time.
