Sony SRS-XB100
The best budget Bluetooth speaker — surprisingly full sound and 16-hour battery at an unbeatable price.
Our Review
The Sony SRS-XB100 punches way above its $59 price tag. Its compact puck shape hides a full-range speaker with passive radiator that delivers clear vocals and surprisingly present bass. The IP67 rating, 16-hour battery, built-in mic for calls, and included strap make it the perfect everyday carry speaker. It proves you don't need to spend $150 for great portable audio.
