This Sony Speaker Is Now on Sale for Its Lowest Price Ever
This holiday season, if you’re looking for an inexpensive gift that punches above its weight, the Sony SRS-XB100 Bluetooth speaker is now $38 (down from $59.99)—its lowest price ever , according to trackers . Measuring 3 by 3.8 inches and weighing just 9.7 ounces, this speaker is small enough to slip into a stocking or toss into a bag. Additionally, it comes in four color options, including black , grey , orange and blue , and features a detachable strap for added portability (making it easy to attach to your bag or carry with you anywhere).
The SRS-XB100 features a two-watt driver and a passive bass radiator, which together deliver monaural audio from 100Hz to 15kHz—pretty impressive for such a small speaker. You’ll find all the controls you need, including a multi-function button (for playback, track navigation, and call management), a power button, volume controls, and a Bluetooth pairing button, neatly placed around the base of the speaker. The SRS-XB100 connects via Bluetooth 5.3 and works with AAC and SBC codecs. Plus, if you’re an Android user, you’ll appreciate Google’s Fast Pair feature, which makes setup quick and easy on compatible devices—a handy feature covered in this PCMag review .
For such a small speaker , the SRS-XB100 delivers surprisingly powerful sound with a punch. However, it’s not designed for deep bass and can’t compete with larger, more expensive options. However, given its size, it is more than enough to fill a room or maintain an outdoor ambience.
Speaking of outdoor use, the SRS-XB100 boasts a rugged design with an IP67 rating, meaning you can take it underwater, take it to the beach, or even give it a quick rinse. And with a battery life of up to 16 hours (according to the manufacturer), you won’t have to constantly worry about charging during your adventures.
