Our Verdict

Sony SRS-XB12

Limitless Innovations TikiTunes

The Sony SRS-XB12 is a better speaker than the Limitless Innovations TikiTunes. The Sony is better-built, and its sound profile is more neutral. It also has a better soundstage performance, and it can support voice assistants from your paired smartphone. That said, some listeners may prefer the TikiTunes' unique torch light design with LED lights and its long battery life.
