Our Verdict
Sony SRS-XB13
Sony SRS-XB100
The Sony SRS-XB13 and the Sony SRS-XB100 are very similar speakers with slight differences that might affect your preference between the two. They're both very portable, lightweight speakers, but the SRS-XB100 has a longer continuous battery life and slightly better low-frequency extension. It's also a bit better built and is compatible with the Sony Music Center app. That said, the SRS-XB13 has less compression at max volume and lower AV synchronization error. The latter will ensure that there's minimal lag between your audio and video if you like connecting to the speaker to watch YouTube videos or other video content.

Hello Addgravity, We mention the presence of a physical button to create a stereo pair in the text. However, the app itself does not include that function. Sorry for the confusing data. We’ll make sure to address this point next time we update our speaker test bench.
Stereo pairing is available on both of these speakers (your review states that the speakers don’t have this feature), and improves the sound quality considerably.
