Sony says the XB100 has a UV coating which further protects it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the design resembles its predecessor, the <a href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com\/?xs=1&amp;id=1025X1701640&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.anrdoezrs.net%2Fclick-8836598-15268034%3Fsid%3DSonyXB100Review%26url%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Felectronics.sony.com%252Faudio%252Fspeakers%252Fwireless-speakers%252Fp%252Fsrsxb13-b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\" class=\"underline\"><strong>XB13<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, with the shape removable fabric strap which allows you to hang the speaker someone for further versatility. Furthermore, its textured finish makes the XB100 easier to grip and gives it a more premium look compared to the previous model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The size of the speaker means the sound isn&#8217;t stereo. Chris Welch from The Verge notes that &#8220;Sony pairs a passive radiator with a mono speaker&#8221;. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Unlike the company\u2019s more premium Bluetooth devices, you can\u2019t do any EQ customization with the $60 XB100 from the Sony Music mobile app,&#8221; he continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The XB100 is available in a small range of colours including blue, orange, grey and black. Included is a USB-C charging cable which The Verge reports is quite short while the USB-C charging port is protected with a rubber flap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Availability<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sony XB100 is available for $59.99 from the Sony online store, Best Buy, and Amazon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"btn-wrapper\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/23742818\/sony-srs-xb100-portable-bluetooth-speaker-review\" class=\"btn-image\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n    .btn-wrapper {\n        display: block;\n        width: 100%;\n        text-align: center;\n        margin-bottom: 2rem;\n    }\n    .btn-image {\n        width: 222px;\n        height: 39px;\n        display: inline-block;\n        text-decoration: none;\n        background-size: cover;\n        background-position: 0 0;\n        background-repeat: no-repeat;\n        background-image: url('https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Find-Button-sprite.png');\n    }\n    .btn-image:hover {\n        background-position: 0 -39px;\n    }\n<\/style>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\" class=\"underline\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Distribute your music FOR FREE with RouteNote.
