Sony SRS X11 front, close up view.
The X 11 wireless Sony cube speaker is a low power, one-person style, small unit with still enough power output to hear comfortably in a small room or personal space with strikingly full sounding speech or music.
But what does the power output a wireless speaker has, tell you about it? Firstly, the watt is a measure of the amount of power speakers like the X 11 draw and deliver. Plus, this metric is a handy comparison measure. E.g. Typically, speakers with more power output tend to play louder than those with lower max wattages. The ones with greater power cost more, have bigger batteries and chargers, along with larger drivers. But they also offer more dynamic range, have a deeper bass response, and stereo models offer a bigger soundstage to listeners.
Thus on the whole, the more powerful the speaker, the better it sounds, even on low loudness settings. You get better clarity due to higher accuracy reproduction of the bass, midrange, and treble pieces of the music. More extra output power could produce less clipping distortion as well. So, the speaker’s output wattage number is a primary indicator of speaker quality and performance, and as such, is of great interest to audiophiles and novice listeners alike.
In this case, the Sony X 11, as a small battery powered cube speaker, is a sufficiently powered model for its size. Its modest yet useful power output can work the area around a coffee table well with music. See below for details on its power output.
All power figures are in watts in the list below.
