CNET Editors' Rating
3.5 out of 5 stars.
The good
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 bad
The soft-but-tough finish attracts some dust; should cost less than $50.
The bottom line
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.

Great sound from a small speaker!
paulg1973, Harvard, MA:
I purchased my XB10 speaker to listen to music and podcasts while doing a home renovation project. I found it easy to set up, easy to recharge, and I really like the sound that it provides. It is FAR FAR better than the builtin-in speakers on a mobile telephone, laptop, or tablet; it has a decent frequency range, plenty of bass response, and the sound volume is sufficient to fill a typical room in a house.
