Great sound. Terrible battery!

SRS-XB21 04/05/2020 by frootcakeuk (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified

Had for about 2 months. Things sounds great, I loved the little light show it did at first but this has become nothing more than a gimmick now. However, the main issue here is the battery. It lasts for 45 mins tops on a full charge and this device is strangely exempt from the usual wonderful returns policy that I'm used to with Sony. I can't even confirm my warranty status onlime which is very disappointing and I don't fancy going to a certified sony dealership just to be told there's nothing they can do (not that I can anyway right now as they are all shut due to Covid-19) overall not happy but I would be if my item worked properly out the box

Really good sound

SRS-XB21 06/05/2022 by Soulbubba (United Kingdom)

Quite pleased with the speaker. Put it on charge when I got it and haven't had to charge it again yet. Only thing was when I was charging it I couldn't turn it off and the light's kept coming on.

Exactly what I was after

SRS-XB21 09/19/2021 by dills_121 (United Kingdom)

Purchased over a year and a half ago, bought for uni parties. To get an idea of how perfect it was, my friend went and bought the exact same model a week after she saw my new one! Does the job and added features of dust and water existence puts my mind at ease. Great bass as advertised and party lights create a great atmosphere. We can also connect ours up for left and right speakers, party mode etc but me and my friend rarely do that because of neighbours. Cannot recommend enough for parties and uni students! For the price I think this is excellent value

SRS-XB21 02/25/2021 by kb91 (France) Verified Purchaser Verified

J'ai acheté cet article il y a un peu plus d'un an. Je n'en ai pas fait une gande utilisation. Malheureusement, il ne se charge plus. Le SAV du magasin où je l'ai acheté me dit qu'il doit s'agir d'un problème de connectique et que cela n'est pas pris en charge par la garantie. Si obsolescence programmée = monnaie gaspillée!

Sweet dispersion

SRS-XB21 01/06/2021 by dimitralala (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified

Iv always been in love with Sony's sound quality, ieven work for yous on the entertainment field (which also maintains this, even on my PS3) and must admit that this is reaaally nice! Great product, must be newer versions already, yet I lololove the sweet sound bass and dispersion of this baby. The NFC connection is great too! It could be louder possibly, or my Spotify needed calibration, I put it on loud mode and will retry. Fun features the party mode and clever choice to be able to link several together..makes me wanna buy the same for my kids and make this place a party spot ;p

Won’t charge

SRSXB21/B 09/21/2020 by Citraveller (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified

Bought this as a gift for my wife last year and now it does hold a charge. Downloaded the APP and charged it with 1.5 amp charger. The APP says it’s charged but then stops playing after two to three songs. The voice says ‘recharge’. Tried the same process many times and same result.

Decent Speaker

SRS-XB21 09/01/2020 by CamboCambo (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified

I bought this speaker to go with my projector and firestick when streaming TV and movies. It's a decent little speaker with sound that fills my small back room. I've had no problems connecting it with bluetooth although it starts to cut out if you stretch the distance to the top end of its range. I've used it for music all over the house, down the garden, in a tent and in the car and found it to be reliable and good quality. The lights work, but aren't really of any interest to me and the drum feature is, frankly, bizarre, but overall this has been great for its primary function - TV and Films on a home movie screen. The app is really good, too.

Des basses, encore des basses, mais que des basses

SRS-XB21 08/23/2020 by p2r_ (France) Verified Purchaser Verified

La fonctionnalité "Extra Basses" fait bien ressortir les basses, mais même en la désactivant, celles-ci sont déjà suramplifiées et on ne peut pas profiter d'un son pur sans cet effet supplémentaire. De plus, la stabilité de l'enceinte est très précaire, et elle roule très facilement si on la pose sur un support un peu penché ou mouvant

dem Verwendungszweck entsprechend sehr gut

SRS-XB21 08/19/2020 by Alex6969 (Germany) Verified Purchaser Verified

Die Box ist keine Musikanlage, so viel ist klar. Beim Klang kommt es auf die Qualität der Internetverbindung, bzw. die Qualität der Musikdatei an. Bass ist ok, Höhen sind ok. 100% aufdrehen ist aber nicht zu empfehlen. Was ein wenig nervt ist, dass die Bassboost Funktion per draufklopfen nicht mehr richtig vom Klang ohne Bassboost- Funktion zu unterscheiden ist, wenn man die App verwendet. Dann muss man jedesmal in der App den Bass- Boost ausschalten, oder beide Lautstärketasten gleichzeitig drücken, damit der Bass- Boost ausgeschaltet ist, will man beispielsweise statt Musik ein Hörbuch hören. Wobei die Bassfunktion beim Betätigen der beiden Lautstärketasten dann noch immer nicht zu unterscheiden ist. Mit der Ausführung der Einstellung in der App kann man dann aber einen Unterschied hören. Diese xb 21 habe ich zu einem ermäßigten Preis bei amazon gekauft, daher bin ich sehr zu zufrieden. Vielleicht werde ich mir eine xb 72 holen, wenn die eine Anlage ersetzen kann, aber irgendwann auf alle Fälle eine xb43 (die finde ich sogar ein wenig besser als die jbl, wegen dem Sony- Bass und dem allgemein stabilerem Klang)

Terrible battery

SRS-XB21 04/08/2020  (USA)

Battery started degrading from the moment I started using it from brand new, straight out of the box and after a fresh charge it was only capable of at maximum 6 hours of pretty quiet playback, saying it could do 4 hours of close to max volume would probably be being very generous, the battery has only gotten worse with age, as has the charging port which is of poor quality and has gotten to the point where no matter which cable is used you have to bend it in the port to get the speaker to charge. I'd like to be able to give it a better review but you cant enjoy any of the good features if it is either dead flat, playing at 20% volume, or moaning at you to "pl-p-pl-p-p-please charge" everytime the subpar charging port fails.

SRSXB21/LI 03/15/2020 by kcjones5 (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified

Had two of these for a weeks now and love them. It is a pain in the $#% to get them to play in the double speaker mode and even harder to to get them in the stereo mode (my only reason for 4 stars verses 5). Once your there they are super, unless you move them too far apart. The batteries are fine except I only got 5 1/2 to 6 horus out of them at about a loudness level of 2/3rds.

SRS-XB21 02/03/2020 by Taywalk12 (USA)

I got this for Christmas after wanting a GOOD Bluetooth speaker. I was using a 10$ light up Sylvania bluetooth speaker for about 10 months hoping i would get a Sony one! I got this one and I LOVE IT! Sounds so much better! The bass and live sound options are Great! I love the app, you can change the EQ, the way the lights flash with the music. It sounds really amazing. I love it. I use it when I shower every night, and when I clean houses! I highly recommend y’all!

Battery life is a joke

SRS-XB21 01/14/2020 by Wayne26 (USA)

No matter what I do, the battery life doesn't last more than 5 hours. That's not even the worst part. After two hours of use the speaker will notify me "please charge". Doing so about every 5 minutes interrupting whatever I'm listening to. Again, not even the worst part. After telling me to charge the battery the volume is cut down to about 20% of max volume. And if I try to turn it up, it will say "please charge" if I press the button 3 times it will say it three times. So, I have a speaker that claims 12 hours battery life but in reality only lasts 5 hours. And over half of that 5 hours I cant turn it up even to half volume. It's a joke. This product is more expensive than speakers that outclass it in every way. No where on the box or manual does it say it will cut your volume to almost nothing. I bought this speaker because of the sound quality but no matter how good it sounds, if it cant be played longer than a couple hours it isn't worth it. I suggest purchasing a JBL or really anything other than this tripe.

Truly worthy purchase

SRS-XB21 01/11/2020 by Smutty (United Kingdom)

I bought this on amazon without testing one in the wild, boy was I surprised! Easy to use and looks really nice with it's compact form factor. Sound quality is amazing, the bass bangs harder than R Kelly at a primary school and the treble is as crisp as a packet of doritos. A must have for the office, spare room or workspace.

Great sound

SRS-XB21 01/09/2020 by Lynne123 (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified

I love the sound on this speaker, although sometimes I need to turn the bass down. I have struggled to work out how to connect to extra devices and the instruction booklets aren’t very clear.

Easy to set up - Great Sound

SRS-XB21 01/08/2020  (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified

I was given this item as a Christmas present as a temporary solution to a vinyl player I have with no speakers - its produces a great sound and I have also hooked it up with my mobile - adds a new dimension to iPlayer and any music on my Apple phone. Its light, well designed and fun - the percussion features are interesting and it lights up if you want it to in various different modes!

Hammer Sound!!!

SRS-XB21 12/17/2019 by Micha77 (Germany) Verified Purchaser Verified

Habe die SRS-XB21 für einen Freund als Geburtstagsgeschenk gekauft. Er war so begeistert von der Optik, dass er sie sofort testen wollte. Mir gefiel sie auch direkt und beschloss mit ebenfalls eine zu kaufen. Inzwischen habe ich 2 Stück. Ich finde sie ersetzt fast eine feste Stereoanlage. Ich nutze sie im Haus sowie im Garten oder bei Ausflügen und Reisen. Über die Sony Music Center App kann man die Einstellung auf seine Bedürfnisse ändern. Mit dem integrierten NFC ist die Bluetooth-Verbindung sehr schnell fertigstellt. Man kann mehrere Boxen miteinander kabellos verbinden. Ich nutze meine kabellos im Stereo-Verbund. Zu Hause habe ich sie am Netzteil, da Musikhören über längeren Zeitraum der Akku leer ist. für Unterwegs reicht mir die Akkulaufzeit völlig aus. Ich kann sie sehr gut weiterempfehlen!

Not impressed at all. Fake reviews?

SRS-XB21 12/08/2019 by SilentLamb (USA)

Bought this last month from Sony's eBay store. Gotta say not impressed by sound quality at all. It's okay if u keep the volume low. The moment it goes above 60%, the bass vanished. I asked the sony people if there was something wrong with my unit in particular and they said no it's the same for all and gave me some BS about vibrations. Also, if u focus on the language of reviews, they all seem to be written by sony employees! Mine would sound like im a jbl employee but seriously spend some more and get a flip 4 or 5. My sis has that and it's 10 times better sound quality than this!

Low battery and settings not working properly

SRS-XB21 12/01/2019 by Kimmy94 (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified

I was expecting much more from this speaker. Firstly, the battery dies after 1 day of playback. I used to have speakers that were 1/3 price and would work for 3-4 days without charging so this is quite disappointing as these speakers aren't cheap at all. Secondly, when I first connected the speakers to my phone, on the music manager by Sony, a separate app I downloaded, I was able to change different settings, like the live mode, set up different sounds for taps on the speakers (left/right/up/down), switch between normal and extra boost mode and much more. For some reason, the app doesn't show me these functions anymore and I can't set any of the above except for the extra boost switching, but I have to do it manually holding down 2 buttons on the speaker. Overall, the sound off of these is great and the bass is nice, but I think these speakers are overpriced and not worth the money they're asking you for.

By far the worst bluetooth speaker for the price

SRS-XB21 10/21/2019 by Suhahaus83heb (USA)

Buy another brand this speaker has terrinke battery life and the volume locks at like 20 percent when it gets low which is all the time. Even if its plugged in it will constantly die unkess left to charge for 20 minutes on its own. Not even that loud. I love Sony which is why I got this instead of the bose one for the same price and Im thouroughly disappointed.

Hello, Suhahaus83heb!

We are sorry if our product did not meet your expectations. When you use the speaker at a loud volume, the built-in battery may run low even if the speaker is connected to an AC outlet. If you want to use the speaker while charging, lower the volume of the speaker. Otherwise, turn off the speaker and charge the built-in battery sufficiently (ref: https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xb21/v1/en/contents/TP0001602892.html).

Allgemein gut

Schön zu nutzen. Ob für unterwegs, beim Kickern im Verein oder auch unter der Dusche. Leider ein wenig zu leise. Auch die App lässt zu wünschen übrig. Eine Sperre, dass sich nicht jeder einfach per Bluetooth wäre auch schön. Aber ein allgemein ausgewogener Sound.
