Sony SRS XB 10 is a small portable wireless speaker that is the size of a soda can but smaller.
When it comes to battery life sony says it has 16-hour battery life. During my use, I got around 15 hours playing Music at 50% volume and then wanted to play Music at 70% volume. I got about 13 hours, so overall, I’m satisfied with the battery. I can easily make it last a week.
The next feature I would like to talk about is the IPx5 certification. SRS xB 10 is water-resistant and not waterproof, so you can take it out while it’s raining, but you can’t drop it in the pool.
The speaker has NFC capability, and it can also connect to two wireless speakers for stereo sound.
I like the build quality of the speaker. It doesn’t feel expensive, or does it feel cheap? Not at all, It feels just right. The body of the speaker is mainly covered with rubber; the top part has a metal grill covering the speaker. The middle section is covered with soft rubber, while the bottom one has a more grippy rubber.
The speaker feels robust and durable. It doesn’t feel like it’s going to break if I drop it. I’ve dropped the speaker even though this isn’t shockproof. But the speaker survived. I was tossing it around, and it felt, but nothing major happened. The speaker didn’t crack, but there were only like two or three deep cuts on the bottom of the speaker, but still, the cuts aren’t that noticeable.
