Deze Sony bluetooth speaker is een fijne speaker met een goed geluid. Belangrijk is voor mij dat het een handzaam ding is met een instelbare lus eraan. Ook kan hij tegen een stootje. Ben er zo blij mee dat ik een tweede erbij heb gekocht zodat ik deze kan ‘pairen’. Alleen zijn de oplaadsnoertjes wel vrij klein.

This is the first portable, bluetooth speaker that I have bought and it is excellent, I am very impressed.
I wanted a speaker for indoor use only to play podcasts, live radio and music. The smaller the better.
Inside the box is the speaker which has a strap already attached. There is also a charging cable and user guide. I began by charging the speaker which took around 2 hours.
The speaker is small, well designed with controls along the side for power, bluetooth connection / pairing, hands free and volume.
I turned on the speaker, then turned on my mobile bluetooth, initiating the pairing function and it found the Sony XB100 very quickly so I was able to pair the devices easily. The speaker does have a pairing button so if your device has an issue finding the speaker or connecting this may help with that.
Playing a podcast and altering the volume I was impressed with the level it reaches. More than enough for indoor use. With music again there is more than enough volume and the quality is excellent with a decent bass level emitting from the speaker. The level of bass will vary depending on the type of surface used.
Some reviews I read prior to purchase criticised the lack of volume however I am more than happy with the output when using indoors and I do not even have it at full.
Sony states the battery being 16 hours usage however this will lessen based on the volume output. When the battery level is at 40% a small orange light flashes to warn you that the battery will require charging.
The speaker also offers hands free use for mobile calls as it has a built in mic. I haven’t used this yet and may never do so cannot comment.
You can also purchase a second speaker and link them so that you experience a stereo effect. The speaker has an IP67 rating which means it is also waterproof and dustproof so using it in the shower / bathroom or when outside in certain environments it is well protected.
If you are looking for a stylish, high quality, portable, bluetooth speaker I can definitely recommend the Sony XB100.
**Since this review was posted I have purchased a second speaker so that I can link the two and experience stereo sound.
You turn both speakers on. Then press the pairing button down for around 2 seconds on one speaker and a white light will be displayed under the button. Then repeat this on the second speaker.
Once paired the first speaker announces it is the left then the second paired speaker announces it is the right.
Together they sound great, at night when in bed I have both speakers sat on the frame just above and behind my head whilst streaming TV or film and they really do enhance the audio experience.
When you have finished using them if you power off one speaker it automatically turns off the other paired speaker.

Super Preis Leistungsverhältnis (wenn im Angebot gekauft). Ich habe mittlerweile 5 Stück gekauft und vier davon verschenkt. Von den beschenkten Personen kam bisher nur positives Feedback. Ideal für Reisen mit kleinem Gepäck oder einfach mal für den Strand oder ein Picknick. Für die “Größe” ist der Klang ausgewogen, die Akkulaufzeit ausreichend und über USB-C mit allen neuen Ladegeräten aufladbar. Für einen JBL Fan, kann ich den Kauf empfehlen.

This is a super little Bluetooth speaker, Feels really solid, Charges fast, battery seems to last forever and it sounds great, really great actually for it’s size. Nice Bass (not booming but enough), sharp vocals and sounds clean throughout the volume range. It’s small so you do have to factor that in when judging it, not room filling sounds but for it’s size It’s the best speaker I’ve used.

Questa cassa Bluetooth x me è perfetta, piccolina ma con un suono da grande. E poi io la uso anche x le telefonate in auto in viva voce dal momento che la mia quattro ruote nn è certo di ultima generazione, speriamo duri a lungo.

I purchased this speaker to take on a holiday. The compact design was very useful to take on the go and the sound quality is amazing for the size of this speaker. One thing to consider however is that the speaker lacks the volume when not in an enclosed environment so when outdoors it can be a little tricky to hear if your 5m or so away at max volume. That being said this speaker packs a punch while using this inside when the sound is bouncing off the walls and the bass packs a punch too. If you’re looking for a compact speaker to travel with then this is perfect, it’s light weight and easy to use with a good battery life too. I have used a few generations of the JBL Go prior to purchasing this speaker however I’m glad I made the switch, the superior sound quality and extra kick to the bass makes this worth every penny!
