The Ugreen ones look better better. Way better in low light, whereas kmart cam kind of faceplants without perfect light.

CyberMurning on Sony SRS-XB100H Bluetooth Speaker $69 (Was $99) + Delivery ($0 C&C/ in-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi, Amazon, Officeworks, Sony, MYER

No, the XB13 was the previous version (I think). I assume the "H" at the end is just a code for the colour.
