So this is the Sony XB100, this is Sony’s super compact speaker that you can use while at home or you can attach it to your back pack or bike and take it on the go with you. Overall, the XB100 is a very incremental upgrade over its predecessor, but today let's see what the XB100 is all about.

Sony has actually taken a step forward with their sound not by a lot like JBL but Sony is actually starting to do better and the xb100 is actually sounding pretty decent more balanced and with a little bit more bass which is good

[@markaustinsickbasshead274]

Jbl is best

[@mykyta_go5hko]

​@@markaustinsickbasshead274 Only older models. Al new models are trash.

[@hercules_144]

Lol Sony has always had great bass. I've got the srs xb10 and i don't know how you could complain about the bass. No other speaker that I've seen comes close to how much bass that little speaker produces for how small it is.

[@markaustinsickbasshead274]

@@mykyta_go5hko at least the flip 6 , charge 5 and boombox 3 is better

[@mykyta_go5hko]

I bought the xb 13 for my bicycle ,but its not very loud , so i gave it to my friend and i bought the xb100 thinking it would be much louder ,...it has more bass and its just a little louder, but really its not very loud , but the quality of the sound is super great awsome ❤👍😀

[@mariocrespimilhem]

Hi. Thanks for the review. How well does the XB100 perform for conversations? Can people hear me clearly on the other side? And what's the recommended distance from the microphone for optimal audio quality?

[@ShlokReviewedIt]

I subscribed. Great video man, gifting this to my mom for her birthday :)

[@jayko23]

I was going to get the xb100 for $60 but was able to snatch 2 xb13 for $38 so it was a no brainer for me cause I can do stereo pairing for less $. Hope I made the right move.

[@srmtravel]

Nice review. But you should have included paired mode sound test as well.

[@alexandercoleman906]

Thanks for the video once again I watch every one of your videos and like all of them

[@joshuahendrickson4854]

If you want a small portable travel speaker, then pick this one up. I was able to get the Sony XB100 speaker, and a case as a bundle for $50. The speaker has good sound for its size, and gets louder then I expected. The battery life is very good as well.

[@a_d_s5361]

Is it possible to turn off the phone call option on this speaker so that music isn’t interrupted by calls and other phone notifications?

[@jait7642]

When are you reviewing Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2?

[@WhiteSupreme]

These actually sound pretty decent for their size. I bought the XE200 recently but after testing them all in store I thought these sounded pretty good.

[@asan1050]

Hey GYMCADDY..Thanks Much !.......📢

[@niajef]

is there a way to turn off the start up sound for this speaker?

[@djratino]

These are the perfect size to go into mountain bike drink holders on the frame. 🚲

[@brunosco]

Or in bottle pockets on both sides of a backpack…

[@JaguarJuanDavid]

Só true

[@sheilahughes5185]

I tried to pair 2 xb100"s to my pc and they did and even the one speaker said left and the other said right and the bluetooth disconnected....what am i doing wrong....thank you

[@mgsan4702]

Hmm good one I m interested for my desktop set up L+R

[@Techlifeandmore]

Regarding microphones, I have found that if you want a speaker primarily for taking calls on, Anker speakers have some of the best microphones in the game. I’m not sure why, but that seems to be the case. Plus, they don’t sound half bad and they’re cheaper than Sony speakers.

[@user-ud2wl7fo9c]

The sony speakers i need they small 3 of them 💯

[@hoholu4650]

Tbh missing aux is the only thing that pissis me on my XB33

[@edmundb9025]

Can this be connected to an iphone?

[@R56Cooper]

I'm a big sony fan, but these Xb100s are still quiet just like the XB13s-- they have a nice design-- but too quiet.

[@ph4n1th]

MANNNNNNI JUST BOUGHT THE 13!!!!!

[@curtiscormier8960]

Sony xb100 is great speaker for it size and shocking has lots on of bass

[@wolfpacak47]

this one or srs xb33 ?

[@wheezy_owl]

Does this have USB A?

[@deejay2023jvr]

I love Sony XB100.

[@poppop-hp4wz]

Which is Xb13?

[@JaguarJuanDavid]

Please test the lg xg2

[@TheAscendedTechNinja]

Well, micro speakers have never been my thing. I mind as well use headphones or a slightly bigger speaker like a Flip,Soundlink flex, but the Charge 5 has been my goto small speaker

[@LatencyProblem]

You must be a big dude for considering the Charge as a "small" speaker

[@hercules_144]

5:43 super nuanced? I listened on 2 different headphones. My cheap Sony ones and expensive Bose. And on both the difference is night and day. It's shocking how much more powerful the xb100 sounds compared to the other similar sized speakers. The only speaker I have from this line is the srs-xb10 which actually just broke after what I think was 6 years. I loved that speaker. The bass, the power. It was such a great little speaker for its size. So I'm excited to see how much of an upgrade the xb100 will be. Thanks for the review caddy!

[@theoriginal668]

Xb100 definitely sounds better then the others

[@HrishikeshKulkarni90]

is this speaker louder than laptop speaker? around 1.5 times louder?

[@JaguarJuanDavid]

It haves more bass sounds more cool and I would say compared to the small ones yeah for sure

[@alexandercoleman906]

Now Sony has to remake an xg500 XG300 xe300 xe200 remake something like that and make them sound balance and good with good bass and balance sound and you got happy customers and make them louder to obviously

[@Mingzhe583]

There's no longer the same model The snow are not the snow second XE 300 The number is not the same anymore and every number is different I'm waiting for the XE310 just like the party box 310 lol I'm just kidding it's not going to sound as good as the JBL charge 5 or JBL flip 6 and I don't think that I'll have a Twitter just like it's predecessor

The delay between audio and video i think

[@alanross1117]

@@val3nt914 I mean the measured latency. How can he claim no latency issues without measuring it.

[@val3nt914]

By listening i guess

[@retrothruster2539]

I bought two of them, I don't understand what they are for, I have no option to adjust the sound and yes, I do have the app, maybe for telephone use but that would be about it, my jbl flip 5 is soooo much better, and I'm not a JBL fanboy at all but I was expecting so much more, maybe if someone could help me adjust the sound settings they might be better but they're pretty much paperweights at this point...

[@davidbezzant9820]

Yeah man I agree you can't defy physics, more air in the flip 5 and any larger speaker in generally means bigger and better sound. For 60 buck you can also get a Anker boost upgraded version which absolutely destroys this speaker.

[@retrothruster2539]

@@davidbezzant9820 Yeah, the lack of volume (physical) is the issue, the two of these are the same size as the flip 5, I guess I should just appreciate the stereo effect and not expect too much in the base department.

[@davidbezzant9820]

@@retrothruster2539 yeah man that's it. If you're willing to take a randoms advice lol I recently bought 2 earfun Uboom L's after returning a JBL charge 5 (didn't like the mono sound of it for the tracks I play). I HIGHLY recommend two Uboom's for awesome stereo, if you order with them directly they are like 100 bucks for a pair (100 pounds with me in the UK) and they really are JBL killers for the price, one alone sounds awesome but two in TWS is mind blowing for the price

[@Felipesnk]

Maybe it's time to upgrade my Sony XB10 😂

[@alanross1117]

Or get the soundcore mini

[@hercules_144]

That's literally what I'm doing bro! My xb10 just broke. I loved it so much 🥲

[@miracoli16]

The Sony sounds good, but even for me, who doesn't like listening to loud music, it doesn't have enough volume.

[@ValentinG23]

Just got 2 for 65$ , jbl is lacking severely , a clip 4 is 55 dollars and doesn’t have microphone for phone calls , less battery life and can’t be paired with another clip or go , for basically the same price of a clip 4 you can get 2 sony xb 100 which is basically a steal !!!!
