Product details

The rugged, portable SRS-XB13 is easy to carry around with its special strap. This small speaker has it all: with extra bass and a sound distribution processor, it produces rich sound.
A passive radiator works with a full-range speaker to optimise low frequencies for richer bass. The rugged housing and carrying strap make this speaker the ideal companion for any situation. The speaker can be hung from a backpack, wrist, or even a parasol on hot days, and when pointed downward, it brings the sound to where you are. This compact speaker surprises with fantastic surround sound. The sound distribution processor uses DSP technology to fill any room with sound. Waterproof and dustproof to IP672, the speaker sounds as good outdoors as it does indoors. You won't have to miss out on your music while sunbathing in the pool, by the river or in the park. The battery lasts up to 16 hours - for long party fun. A new battery indicator shows you when you need to charge your speaker right on your smartphone. Need to make a call? No problem. The speaker's built-in microphone lets you make hands-free calls whether you're at home or on the go, thanks to the speakerphone feature.

Stiftung WarentestBluetooth-Lautsprecher im Test - Die besten Bluetooth-BoxenReleaseAugust 2022

A powerful bass, clearly audible details and a balanced, lively sound - that's what the perfect Bluetooth speaker should sound like. However, good sound quality is not everything: to become a test winner, a speaker should ideally also be easy to use, have a long-lasting battery and offer practical additional functions...

The small Sony also convinces with a decent and wide sound. However, the maximum volume is very low. It can hardly compete with loud conversations in the immediate vicinity. And the battery life of just over seven hours is, like the Anker, rather mediocre, but okay for such a mini. The reliable controls were better than those of the runner-up.
