This Waterproof Sony Travel Speaker Is on Sale for Just $35 Right Now
If you’re looking for a compact speaker that won’t lose any of its sound or durability, then this refurbished Sony SRS-XB100 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker is worth a closer look. It’s on sale right now for $34.99 on StackSocial (down from its original price of $59.99), and this Grade A refurbished unit comes in like-new condition and ships for free across the U.S. It’s not brand new — those go for about $48 on Amazon — but this version has minimal, if any, signs of wear and still delivers the same sound and features you’d expect.
Physically, the XB100 is built for portability. It’s just 3 inches wide and 3.8 inches tall, weighing less than 10 ounces, making it light enough to throw in a backpack, attach to a bag, or hang from your wrist with the included lanyard. It comes in black for this deal (other colors like blue, orange, and gray are also available) and feels intentionally designed to go anywhere. On the audio side, you’re working with a modest two-watt driver and a passive bass radiator that somehow squeezes out clean mono sound with a little punch in the low end. Obviously, don’t expect deep bass drops, but it’s great for podcasts, acoustic tracks, or background music while you’re hiking.
The controls are intuitive and built right into the base — everything from power and volume to Bluetooth pairing and playback. It connects via Bluetooth 5.3 and supports both AAC and SBC audio codecs , which is pretty decent at this price point. Android users get a little bonus with Google Fast Pair, which cuts setup time to almost nothing. It’s also IP67-rated, so it’s waterproof and dustproof — you can rinse it off after a day at the beach or take it to the pool without worry. And with an estimated battery life of up to 16 hours, it’s designed to last a long time on a single charge, as noted in this PCMag review .
