Sony SRS-XB01

Typically Sony's entry-level mini Bluetooth speakers have started at $50. But the SRS-XB01 lists for $35 (£30, AU$50) and sometimes gets discounted to $25. That's pretty inexpensive. While it's lightweight at 5.4 ounces (154 grams), it manages to avoid feeling cheap.

The Sony SRS-XB01 is an attractively designed mini Bluetooth speaker that sounds decent for its size and is relatively inexpensive; It's shower-ready and has speakerphone capabilities

Some larger "mini" speakers in this price range deliver fuller sound with higher volume

Low sound

Can barely hear when half way up and then if you raise volume a touch, it becomes too loud for background noise at work to keep at your work station.

Punching Above its Weight!

Truth be told, I dont know much at all about audio tech. I was just looking for something better than the awful speakers Apple put in my iMac mini, So I bought this for $25. Theyre a little complex to tune in, you have to through the tuning process four or five times before it kicks in.
