The XB23 Sony wireless speaker is a small to medium power, desktop style unit with plenty of output music watts to fill a typical room with tunes.
But what do the watts a wireless speaker has, tell you about it? Firstly, the watt is a measure of how much power the speaker consumes or outputs. Plus, this metric is a handy comparison measure. E.g. Generally speaking, speakers with more watts output tend to play louder than those with less. They cost more, have bigger batteries and chargers, along with larger drivers. They offer greater dynamic range, have a deeper bass response, and stereo versions and offer typically a bigger soundstage to listeners.
Thus in general, the more powerful the speaker, the better it sounds, even at lower volume. You get better clarity due to higher accuracy reproduction of the bass, midrange, and treble content of the music. More available power could mean less clipping distortion too. So, the speaker’s watts output is a primary indicator of speaker quality and performance. So as such, watts are of great interest to audiophiles and novice listeners alike.
In this case, the Sony XB23, as a portable BT speaker, is a moderate level model for its size. Its audio power can fill a small to medium size room with music. See below for details on its RMS and peak power output.
