We gave the Sony SRS-XB3 portable speaker a respectable 4/5 score in our review, praising its water-resistant design, loudness, and good value for money. Here’s our verdict:
"At £130, the Sony SRS-XB3 is only a fair buy. However, it’s far more attractive at the £90 for which it can be had at the time of review. At this price its main competition is the Jam Heavy Metal, a speaker with less power, bulk, battery life and ruggedness, but greater treble detail, an all-round cleaner sound and still excellent top volume."
"The UE Boom 2 is also a significant rival, offering water-resistance and a similar, hardwearing plastic style. That speaker has many fans but I’d likely pick the Sony SRS-XB3 over it for being cheaper and sounding less strained at high volumes.”
"A super-powerful and portable – if not always subtle – wireless speaker."
