So I feel the battery life on the XB23 is very so so. But this speaker also has an advertised battery life of 10 hours while in extra bass mode.īut while in extra bass mode and when this speaker is set to max volume this speaker is only good for about 2 and half to 3 hours of playback time and at 80% volume this speaker is only good for about 4 and half to 5 hours of playback time. And I don’t like using stamina when I don’t have to on this speaker cause stamina mode makes this speaker sound very flat. Now even though this speaker has an advertised battery life of 12 hours… thats while this speaker is in stamina mode playing at 50% volume. Now when it comes to battery life… unfortunately the XB23 has the worst preforming battery life here. You can’t use these usb c ports as a wired connection and you can’t use these usb c ports to charge your own devices. But keep in mind the USB C ports on both of these speakers are strictly used for charging. But personally I do prefer the Wonderboom 2 here if you’re looking for a speaker to take camping or to take to the beach cause it is smaller but more importantly it doesn’t have those exposed passive radiators to worry about like these other two speakers.īut the biggest draw back about the Wonderboom 2 is that since this speaker is the oldest speaker here, its still using a micro usb port for charging where as both the XB23 and flip 5 are using USB C for charging… which is what we like to see these days. Now like I mentioned in the full review, the XB23 is very large for a small portable bluetooth speaker, but you can still easily take it on the go with you. But the XB23 is the largest speaker here, where the flip 5 is a little smaller and then there’s the Wonderboom 2 that just looks like a ball. And all of these speakers are water proof so you don’t have to worry about getting any of these speakers wet. Now all three of these speakers have mostly fabrics covered bodies so all of these speakers should have no problem standing up to constant bumps and scrapes if you plan on constantly taking any of these speakers on the go with you. Now first off lets talk about the designs of these speakers. ![]() So if you want to pick either of these speakers up they’ll be linked down below. Now when it comes to price all three of these speakers retail for $100 which isn’t too bad. But all three of these speakers are pretty different from one another so depending on your needs one might be better than the other for you. But if you’re looking for a small speaker for the summer then the JBL Flip 5 and UE Wonderboom 2 are two great options as well. So the new Sony XB23 is a great sounding portable bluetooth speaker.
