I appreciate how you get straight to the point on your reviews, ya stick to the heart of what we need to know without boring us with a bunch of talk. Thank you! 🤗
Great review and comparison! You got me convinced, again, on this one. I just bought one XB13 today with redeemed Sony Rewards points for my friends' Christmas gift. Looks like I will now also buy a second one to get them into the enhanced stereo sound they will appreciate. Thank you! All the best.
Sony has the best sound quality but I'm still loving that design from JBL! I wish we could have Sony's better speaker sound quality with JBL's Clip design
I watch all of your videos. They've truly helped me make decisions on everything I've purchased. You're amazing and I love white shoes. Thank you for your honest opinions, for your positive vibes, and for your beautiful energy. Much love to you. ❤❤❤
Phone is not a big deal to me..... but the design of the JBL is what drew me to it.... waterproof, and can clip onto spots within the shower.... also can clip to bikes, belt loops, bags, etc.... much more versatile. The Sony unit doesn't sound appreciably better to me, personally, and it's form factor is undesirable.
Sony is waterproof as well it doesn't have a clip but it has a strap. The sound of the Sony is way better and if you combined 2 together it's even better JBL can't do that. If you see it clearly Sony is winning in every category just the clip is better in JBL but Sony had the answer for that, the second best thing the strap so whatever you want to hang the JBL you can hang the Sony as well.
I have the XB 12's from a few years ago. It's not the best in terms of volume but it does the job. I think the thing that puts it over the top compared to other speakers is the fact that it's pairable with another speaker, giving you a true stereo experience. You'll have speakers that sound better on their own but you can't pair them with a double. That feature sets the SONY XB series apart from it's competitors. if they ever were to fix the volume issues with these models while keeping the sound integrity these would be truly impressive.
Strongly agree with you Bro, Sony sounds way better. High are more defined and clear, Mids are well tuned and not outlandish. Bass are Deeper and pronounced. As per the JBL, yes its louder but the overall sound is dispersed like its coming from everywhere. Bass seems like just a midbass. I think its more built for podcast. SONY Wins!!!
Yet another Flossy legit review! Thanks, bud! But tell me--what do you do with all these speakers and earbuds that you do review?!? Lemme know when you'll be having a garage sale! Oh, your nephew's track was groovin'!
Also with the Sony depending what surface you put them on you can get a deep bass..I think it’s the way the vents are at the bottom..if you put your ears where the vents are you can feel how deep the bass is
@@JerkyFraser nothing bad design about that tons of speakers/subs use different surfaces to boost the bass/sounds of the speak, its the reason the the sony tends to sound way better than the JBL
Seeing the speaker shaking is so calming :D I gotta go replace the battery on my JBL Clip+ next year, definitely not buying new one just because my battery is bad but the rest is fine.
That was an excellent review. I don’t need all the tech specs. Just an honest opinion of which one sounds better and that’s what you delivered. Thank you dude.
Thanks for this review. It helps me to inform people buying speakers at work. I have had many Sony products over the years, some hit and miss. I was curious about this speaker. I have the Go2 and Go3 and like them for small speakers, but this seems better for about twice the price. I may get one. I still like my Charge4 and may get a Charge5 soon.
So I just got the jbl clip as a present, I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality. I wouldn't buy it for the new price, but if u can get it below 30 bucks u got your money's worth for sure
Just got the clip 4 and honestly I’m loving it, my girl and I always go for walks on the park with our dogs so the convenience of just clipping it is really nice, and the sound is great too, bass is not going to blow your mind, but no one is really buying these small speakers for their bass imo
I went to best buy about a week ago and listened to both of them i respect your choice but I definitely choose a jbl Sony wasn't as loud and clear as the jbl. In my opinion! Great video bro I always choose my tech based on you!
The advantage of SONY is that it has 10 watts power output and 16 hrs battery life while JBL Clip 4 has only 5 watts with the battery of 10hrs running time..but both are waterproof and dustpoof.
@@christianludes8943 yeah. Sony is distorted at high volume, and jbl is far louder... I'll pick JBL any day.. had few of their flip, go, charge speakers.. it never disappoint me
@@gargieagnihotri at full volume it’s great for the size, it will fill a room nicely, outdoors it won’t sound as loud, but that’s with any small speaker, the good thing about the Xb-12 is that it has an aux port, the xb-13 doesn’t, but overall it’s a great speaker
I just bought my XB13 over clip 4 today and you were right! Sony is the go for me! I'm so happy to have a pair of them and my room sound way better now!
I agree on Sony being better overall sound quality. I got an old UE Megaboom I have been rocking for a few years now and time to upgrade to a new desk speaker so time to do research.
I’d still choose the Clip simply because it’s easier to carry around for me. The flat design and easy clip-on makes it extremely easy for me to clip on my belt, chair, backpack and my other camping gear. I totally get the sound difference, but the Sony seems a tad bulkier while the JBL can still be placed inside of a any pocket. The Clip wins as it definitely makes a lot more sense for the active person. JM2¢ 🤷🏽♀️
Flossy always keep it 100! Love the video bro but have one question for you. Is the Sony better than the Tribit StormBox and looking forward to your response. Thanks
these sony speakers in stereo mode can be easy desktop speakers who wants small foot print or smaller table and they have good battery back up too. Nice video !!!
Nothing beats Bose Micro (yeah, it's 100$ but it's worth it). By the way, Floss, are you going to make a review of new Sony Xperia? And B&O Explore portable speaker?
I went ahead and ordered the sony SRSXB13. I liked the price the builded n the features. Hope the sound quality down let me down. I will update you and the community. 👍🏿
I own both of these. I always go for the clip, just because of it's versatility. Once you roll with the clip for awhile, you can't go back. I clip it on my tool belt at work , and jam all day.

Time to start leaving a like every time I open these videos.
They both are great. The Sony is more for your desk/room/travel with while the JBL is meant to be wore with the clip on a hike or on a bike.
excellent
It would be easier to put clip 4 in my bag's pocket because of its flatness.
Well... yeah
The clip 4 is a same as the JBl wind
@@UmarMunir94 Agreed. I picked up one because of that 2-D quality. It would fit in my bag easier!
Flossy just keeps it real with all these speaker reviews.
Bass deliverance is clearer and deeper on the Sony. It's more an overall balanced sound. JBL is loud for sure
Thank you for this. My wife basically took my Sony XB-10. Those 13’s sound amazing. Great review.
That phone call was hilarious. Preciate the review this was really helpful
Shout out to the BIG Homie Floss and the Incredible White Shoes
I think the JBL is clearer for the vocal frequencies. I agree the Sony sound is cleaner though. The phone sounded good through it too. Nice review,
I’m going to buy 2 Sonys for me
and 4 for a gift right now.
Greetings from a Greek in Germany.
Thanks Bro! 👊🏻

That “drop test” was well planed.😂
😂😂😂😂
Floss got it there... Smooth talk... 😂
Sony has the best sound quality but I'm still loving that design from JBL! I wish we could have Sony's better speaker sound quality with JBL's Clip design
can't due to form factor
I hate the JBL design
Sony with the unexpected w, I'm here for it.
RIGHT
I think Sony has been slept on in the personal audio space. I have the Sony SRS-XB33 Bluetooth speaker & it sounds amazing!

Jbl let’s you pair speakers in stereo and party mode. Almost all companies do that. Tribit soundcore Bose jbl. Why you lying?
Gosh!! Great beats!! Good taste Floss!
Great video as always and great song, so relaxing
Sony was slapping. We need that sony vs wonder boom 2
Yeaaa we all see that
ue sucks ass, no low bass at all. Boosted upper bass/midbass
I also want that video...🤗
@@NGHmusic Should I buy ue wonderboom 2 or Sony srs xb 13?🤔
The wonder boom is killing both of these

My boy Floss uploads on my Birthday! Awesome day!
wish ya a great life 👍
Mf is a Kingdom Hearts fan and I love it man this is why I randomly watch your videos
El mejor video comparativo!! Gracias hermano,excelente video.
Nice review Floss .Sony did a good job this year especially competing with a jbl speaker that’s tough 😎💪🏽🎶🎶🎶
Also massive thanks for your jabra 75t elite review. Listening to them right now! You were spot on!
Also with the Sony depending what surface you put them on you can get a deep bass..I think it’s the way the vents are at the bottom..if you put your ears where the vents are you can feel how deep the bass is
Sometimes it causes the surface to audibly vibrate. Which sounds horrible and is just bad design.
@@JerkyFraser nothing bad design about that tons of speakers/subs use different surfaces to boost the bass/sounds of the speak, its the reason the the sony tends to sound way better than the JBL
I bought two of these and paired them as a stereo. At max, the sound is great with no distortion!!! I love eeeeem!
The unboxing knife looked.. pretty big and multifonctionnal man 🤣
Anyway, great great review !! Loved it ! I love how you do it
😂😂
I love your videos. You keep it real and don’t up sell items .
Didn't expect that Drop Test though 😂
@Flossy Carter hi flossy....i can know thr name of song at time 5:41. Thank for the great review!
I love small speakers, especially Sony.
Hell yeah man jbl is cool brand but it’s sound cheap asf sony has a nice crystal clear bass
Searched for this and clicked video, was happy when I heard it was you reviewing 😅
Seeing the speaker shaking is so calming :D I gotta go replace the battery on my JBL Clip+ next year, definitely not buying new one just because my battery is bad but the rest is fine.
The longer strap vs that little clip looks more versatile also if you're on the move.
Thanks for the video! I went with your recommendation and got the Sony. It sounds amazing 💯
Just purchased the JBL Clip 4 and JBL Charge 5. The Clip 4 produces amazing audio for its size
I just did the same. Waiting on the Charge6 and I wish I waited a week I woulda got the clip5 so I could pair them!
Hope everyone had a safe and great weekend. Now time to get back to watching Floss videos. Let's go.
That was an excellent review. I don’t need all the tech specs. Just an honest opinion of which one sounds better and that’s what you delivered. Thank you dude.

Hey guys,tell me that what's the name of 2nd song of this video?
As always great review great mood bro
I have a clip 4 and its much better than Sony more louder and more wider sound, I go more for the sound and the quality is insane!
Thanks, Flossy. Been looking for a speaker I can hang on my bag while a ride my bike and you juss made it easier for me. Yerr
🎧 on, you can definitely here the bass 🔊with the Sony speaker. The two speakers together sound great!
5:50
Anyone know the title?
I went to best buy about a week ago and listened to both of them i respect your choice but I definitely choose a jbl Sony wasn't as loud and clear as the jbl. In my opinion! Great video bro I always choose my tech based on you!
Damn fr I’m debating
Most of the time the JBL is the clear winner, but trust me, when it comes to these small ones, the Sony is 100% better.
The Sony wasn't loud enough for me at work. I had to keep it tied to my shoulder to hear it. The JBL seems way louder.
Great review, wonder why they are not putting NFC on such speakers , instant pairing is always handy.
Dude that’s such a good idea
that sony xb13 has no NFC?
That "little drop test" was smooth 😂
😂😂😂😂
okay hold up, this is what i want to watch, informative, original, no shit was given, all pure content!
thanks bro
Flossy posted, today's a good day
Great work as always ma man.
The advantage of SONY is that it has 10 watts power output and 16 hrs battery life while JBL Clip 4 has only 5 watts with the battery of 10hrs running time..but both are waterproof and dustpoof.
This kind of speaker can not offer so much, i see the battery life as a big advantage of Sony
The music that starts at 5:41 is really good, can you tell me the name of the music?
Forget the speaker, your nephew song is 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Make it the intro lol
JBL Clip 4 is more suitable for outdoor.
If you keep it away from the floor, you get a deeper sense of space.
Jbl has more 'Mids',But Sony has more Highs-Lows & sounds much cleaner. I really like Sony's sound Signature !
Though this review is 2 years old, but I just made purchase based on this review by Floss. ❤❤❤ Great Reviews as always. 😊
What's the second song that you used for the test called, it sounds 🔥
Sony is better, has clean bass. The difference is just the metallic clip
😂😂what u can tell the JBL is better.and I saw comments on the Sony saying it sounds distorted on higher vol
Yeah that clip is genius! You can clip it to a ton of things. Like if you go for a bike ride, you can clip it under the bike seat!
@@christianludes8943 yeah. Sony is distorted at high volume, and jbl is far louder... I'll pick JBL any day.. had few of their flip, go, charge speakers.. it never disappoint me
The strap on Sony can wear off after sometime and the clip is more convenient
Damn tell your nephew he's got my support from Argentina man! Sounds so smooth
I still both have my xb10 and 12, now imma have to get the 13 lol. Ive always loved these little speakers.
Greetings from France !
I have the Sony xb 12 and I 'm wondering if it's possible to pair it with the xb 13.

This thing maybe a game changer
Thanks dude for doing a review on those
I agree on Sony being better overall sound quality. I got an old UE Megaboom I have been rocking for a few years now and time to upgrade to a new desk speaker so time to do research.
What soundtrack is this at 5:40?
I don't know if the speaker is great or my headphones are great but that Sony sounded amazing. Listening on some galaxy buds pro
1:20 “got usual books n shit” thats where i knew this is my guy😁
I went with this Sony today over those JBL, and I'm a big JBL fan. Just sounded better to me.
Thanks heaps for this video, so helpful!

Hi Floss, what are the two songs used in this video called?
these sony speakers in stereo mode can be easy desktop speakers who wants small foot print or smaller table and they have good battery back up too. Nice video !!!
Sony for bass
JBL for sound Quality and loudness
08:11 song name pls. Nephew track
JBL sounds fuller/louder but muddy. Sony has a crisp punchy sound.
i wouldn't say the jbl is muddy. but its boomy and it has no "real" low end.
the drop test at 1:30 made me subscribe immediately
