This post explains how to connect the Sony XB 10 Extra Bass wireless speaker with an Android or Apple mobile device via Bluetooth.
With your XB 10 powered off (status lamp is dark), run through this routine to connect it with your mobile device.
Firstly, press the Home button or swipe up to get to the Home screen. The technique differs depending on which device you have.
We found ours on the second page of the Home screen on an iPad Air, as shown next.
Thirdly, tap the Settings app icon.
The device then displays the first page of its settings, as shown in the next step.
The Bluetooth settings screen displays as follows. Note that our Bluetooth is enabled here. But since our XB 10 speaker is currently powered OFF and not in discovery mode, it does not show up in the BT devices list. Also, we don’t see it since we’ve never connected this speaker with this tablet before, it should not appear anywhere on this page. See this as shown in this list of previously connected Bluetooth devices (the MY DEVICES list), shown next.
Next, turn on the XB 10 by quickly pressing its Power button. See this pointed at by the green arrow in the next picture.
The speaker then powers up.
But since our test device does not know about this speaker if never connected to it before, it will not connect to the XB 10 automatically. Thus the status light pointed at by the green arrow in the next picture either blinks fast or slow therefore, and this denotes this not-connected state.
Now to see this speaker on your tablet / phone, place it into Bluetooth discovery mode. To do that, press and hold in the Power-Pairing button, as shown above until you hear two high beeps, and the status lamp starts fast-blinking white.
See the screen shot next. We found our test speaker, as we point at with the green arrow.
Then, tap the listed speaker in the Devices list.
Your source device then connects with the XB 10.
Next, the Bluetooth Settings screen then changes to look something like the following. The green arrows show the Sony XB 10 now connected.
At last, we have now successfully linked to our XB 10 wireless speaker from a typical mobile Bluetooth device.
