Our Verdict

Sony SRS-XB12

Alpine Corporation Solar Bluetooth Rock Speaker

The Sony SRS-XB12 is a better overall speaker than the Alpine Corporation Solar Bluetooth Rock Speaker. The Sony is smaller, more portable, and better-built. It has a more neutral sound profile and a better soundstage performance. It also supports voice assistants from your paired smartphone, which is handy. However, the Alpine Corporation has an outdoor-friendly, rock-like design with a built-in solar panel, and it has a longer battery life and gets louder.
