Sony SRS-XB13

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Small and lightweight ; Long lasting battery ; Waterproof and dustproof ; Versatile strap for attachment

Not supported by Sony Music Center app ; Need to be careful around loose sand

The Sony SRS-XB13 is a small, lightweight but hardy speaker meant for outdoor use. With a surprisingly loud sound from a small form factor, an extra kick in the lower frequencies, and an exceptionally long battery life, this speaker is just right for...

Highs and Mids are not optimised ; No multi-device support

Balanced sound output ; Good looks ; Compact size

Average battery ; Not suitable for large gatherings

Compacte et bien finie ; IP67 ; Autonomie très correcte ; Son assez maitrisé pour la taille ; Appairage stéréo

Trop peu de différences avec la XB12 ; Pas de fonction annexe ; Pas d'application dédiée

Petite, assez autonome, agréable à l'usage, la Sony SRS-XB13 est une bonne enceinte nomade et waterproof. Néanmoins, les avancées par rapport à la génération précédente, à commencer par le son, sont faibles. Un modèle à cheval entre deux mondes donc.
