Sony - SRS-XB100

A couple of the sony xb100 sounds superb. Connect it to a tv and it gives a good stereo sound for movies too. If you get even more, can use its wireless party chain function

I have the Tribit Micro 2 and it’s awesome. For something even lighter, I have the Sony XB100 and I really like it. It has a convenient strap as well.

I have one too, and can confirm the call quality is excellent. This is not a party speaker, but the audio quality for music is fantastic for such a small speaker. I have the Tribit Stormbox 2 and prefer the look and the sound of the Sony at low volumes. The Tribit blows it away if you need higher volume however.

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.

If you need something that portable, it's about as good as it gets. There are a few competing models of a similar size that make slightly different tradeoffs, like the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2, the Soundcore Select 4 Go, or the JLab Pop Party, but ultimately nothing that's fundamentally better, especially in areas that small speakers always struggle with, like bass response or volume.  If you're tight on budget, but flexible on size, you've got some interesting options like the Sony SRS-XB100, the Soundcore 3, or the JLab Go Party. Although the Go 4 is still a credible choice, especially if clear sound is more important to your than big sound.

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

I’d fully recommend the Sony XB100 for your use case. It has low latency (good for video) and detailed mids, which makes listening to vocals clear. It also has a very good strap and is waterproof, the bass and battery life for the size is impressive. But, if available in your country, the Xiaomi Sound Pocket is the best price/performance small speaker at the moment and is only around $15

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.

Because if you want stereo that badly you buy 2 mono speakers that can L/R pair and call it a day. Sony SRS-XB100, are my choice. Not overly expensive for a pair either.

Yea but it sucks at everything else so why bother😅

It's terrible vshape tuned. Stormbox micro 2 wipes the floor with it.
