Similar to the Tribit, Sony’s portable speaker is lightweight, weighing just 0.6 pounds and measuring a compact 2.9 (w) x 3.7 (h) inches. It also features a multiway strap, allowing users to attach it to a backpack, bike handlebars, or any other convenient spot while on the go.
In addition to the passive radiator, the SRS-XB100 incorporates a Sound Diffusion Processor that utilizes digital signal processing (DSP) to create a more expansive sound field, both indoors and outdoors. It can also be paired with a second SRS-XB100 for stereo playback. The speaker includes a built-in microphone for hands-free calls, featuring an Echo canceling feature that enhances call clarity when both parties are speaking simultaneously.
