Sound is flat; Sloopy bass no high range really

As far as form factors are concerned, the Bluetooth speaker isn't changing much these days. At this point, manufacturers know what people want (a fun feature, big sound and an even bigger battery) and aren't ready to fix what appears to be a perfectly good formula.

Strong build quality; Water-resistant; 24-hour battery life

Light show sync issues; Recessed mids; BIG bass; Live Mode lacks detail

The Sony SRS-XB41 is an improved version of its predecessor, but the question we want answered is does the XB41 only get the bass right or can it handle other genres of music too

Very well constructed with IP67 rating; LED lights are definitely fun; Decent battery life

Bass can get overpowering at times; Battery life could be better; Heavy

A party speaker for people who party

Better IP67 build; Sleek design; lights and all; Battery life

Lower mids lacking in clarity; Live mode sucks; Apps need work; Being connected to two source devices can cause weird issues

Sony has been pushing its audio range over the past few years across price points and user preferences. The company's summer lineup for 2018 has a similar mix that will make a lot of people happy.

Ok so i did my reseach and watch a lot of reviews for this speaker and if you are a person that likes to hear that bass in different kinds of music this is it! please buy this speaker and you will not be disappointed trust me.

I purchased this on a whim when I heard it playing in the Dixon's at Heathrow. I was amazed at the sound quality and power. We listen to several other brand but not matched the Sony. It is so simple to use, is portable and has sound quality far beyond what you'd expect from such a small device.

Sound not high enough and sound is not as clear... and no bass

Sony SRS-XB41 is the party animals' dream speaker. Here is our review of the SRS-XB41....

Don't expect exceptional sound quality but for what it's designed for and the for the price it's perfectly acceptable. And what it's designed for is to party! Its rugged design and being dust and splash proof means it'll hold up to being outdoors, on the beach, whatever.
