#125 Sony SRS-XB32: $90 Discontinued eBay

Newer model: the Sony ULT Field 3, ranked higher, rated 3.4/5, released Apr 2025. See every Sony XB and ULT generation.

Pros: A discontinued waterproof Sony speaker with party lights, a power bank output and a claimed 24 hour battery. It is dust tight and waterproof to IP67, and has an aux input, NFC pairing and Party Chain linking. Two 48mm drivers and passive radiators deliver a rated 99dB peak level. LDAC and AAC support, stereo pairing and a speakerphone microphone round out the features. In head-to-head listening it played louder than the Denon Envaya DSB-250BT and JBL Charge 4 with the deepest, roundest bass of the three.

Cons: No independent measurements yet, so the rating is estimated from head-to-head listening comparisons. The tone is dry and odd, with dips around 200 to 700Hz and again from 7 to 11kHz, so the Denon Envaya DSB-250BT sounded more accurate. The Soundcore Motion+ was louder, clearer and flatter, with a large suck-out between 150 and 500Hz on the XB32. It charges over micro-USB, uses Bluetooth 4.2, and mostly wins on lights and battery readout rather than sound. Discontinued.
