The grenade-size SRS-XB10 is the smallest and most basic of the new speakers in Sony's line of Extra Bass Bluetooth speakers. At this size "extra bass" might be a stretch, but it does have a bit more punch than many competitors.

While it should costs a little less, the Sony SRS-XB10 is an attractively designed mini wireless speaker that outputs more bass than your typical tiny speaker.

The Sony SRS-XB10 is an ultracompact, canister-style Bluetooth speaker that's water-resistant, with good battery life (16 hours) and speakerphone capabilities; The speaker sounds decent enough for its size and its strap converts into a stand to prop the speaker up horizontally.

The soft-but-tough finish attracts some dust; should cost less than $50.

What would you get if you crossbreed a grenade with a stress ball You'll probably end up with the Sony XB-10 portable speaker, a bomblet of sound in a soft rubber skin. The Sony XB-10 is fully rubberised and very small, making it rugged and easy to grab.

Sound & bass boths r gud....in AUX it plays perfect,but sometimes its volume automatically goes high & low. Secondly automatically every after 2nd n 3rd songs the speaker goes mute ...I tried two units..

I love this portable Bluetooth speaker from Sony. I chose the orangey red colour which was more to my liking. I was very surprised at the performance for a relatively low end speaker and it certainly didn't disappoint in sound quality, the extra base is very noticeable.

Reviewing the Sony SRS-XB10 wasn't tough at all. We saw the unit at the launch event and were very surprised by its sound output calibre along with its other features. The speaker was compact, lightweight and could connect to multiple devices.

Compact & handy form factor; Lightweight; Good Audio output; Great battery life; Multiple connectivity options

May get shrill sometimes at loud output

For $50, the Sony SRS-XB10 delivers a solid overall audio experience, with crisp highs and rich lows for its price and size. There's little to complain about, though the SRS-XB10 doesn't quite unseat our favorite compact $50 Bluetooth speaker, the aforementioned JBL Clip 2.

Affordable; Solid audio performance with rich bass response and crisp highs; Water-resistant design; Built-in speakerphone; Can be linked with another SRS-XB10 to form stereo pair

Can distort on tracks with deep bass; Mono

This is a good product. Has a great sound, connects really easily, and if you had a few, they would make a great sound system. Only thing I would want to change is the volume. It's good. It could be a little louder, though.

This speaker was a promo gift through Marlboro, so I got it for free. Based on the old adage of "you get what you pay for" I honestly wasn't expecting much. I am happy to report that I was pleasantly surprised!

Despite advances in passive bass radiators and overall streaming quality, the number of high-quality, affordably priced Bluetooth speakers is pretty low. We can now add another product to the short list, however—the Sony SRS-XB10. At $49.99, the tiny, water-resistant SRS-XB10 delivers solid audio, with surprisingly rich bass response, for its size and price. The mono SRS-XB10 can also be linked with another unit to form a stereo pair. Is it the absolute best offering in this price range? No—that distinction still belongs to the JBL Clip 2—but the SRS-XB10 is a solid runner-up, and worth a look. Design The cylindrical SRS-XB10, available in black, blue, red, and white, measures roughly 3.5 by 2.9 inches (HW) and weighs in at 9.2 ounces. It's IPX5 rating means you can get it wet, but it's not a good idea to submerge the speaker underwater. With a rubberized body and base, the top panel is speaker grille only, with a single 1.8-inch driver firing upward. At the base, there are small ...

Sony's wireless, outdoor-friendly SRS-XB10 speaker delivers some surprising bass depth for its size and price.
