Product details

The robust, portable SRS-XB13 is easy to carry with its special strap. This small speaker packs a punch: with Extra Bass and a sound distribution processor, it delivers rich sound. A passive radiator, along with a full-range speaker, optimizes low frequencies for a deeper bass. The sturdy housing and carrying strap make this speaker the perfect companion for any situation. You can hang it on your backpack, wrist, or even on an umbrella on hot days, directing the sound wherever you are. This compact speaker surprises with fantastic surround sound. The sound distribution processor fills any space with sound using its DSP technology. The speaker is waterproof and dustproof with an IP67 rating, sounding just as good outdoors as it does indoors. Whether you're sunbathing at the pool, by the river, or in the park, you won't have to miss out on your music. The battery lasts up to 16 hours for long party enjoyment. A new battery indicator shows you directly on your smartphone when it's time to recharge your speaker. Need to make a call? No problem. With the speaker's built-in microphone, you can make hands-free calls, whether you're at home or on the go.

The small Sony also convinces with a decent and wide sound. However, the maximum volume is very low. It can hardly compete with loud conversations in the immediate vicinity. And the battery life of just over seven hours is, like the Anker, rather mediocre, but okay for such a mini. The reliable controls were better than those of the runner-up.

Rank 17 out of 20Stiftung WarentestBluetooth-Lautsprecher im Test - Die besten Bluetooth-BoxenReleaseAugust 2022

A powerful bass, clearly audible details and a balanced, lively sound - that's what the perfect Bluetooth speaker should sound like. However, good sound quality is not everything: to become a test winner, a speaker should ideally also be easy to use, have a long-lasting battery and offer practical additional functions...
