Portable speaker Sony SRS-XB40. Sony portable speakers: review of the five best models Sound and Extra Bass

A few months ago, Sony introduced a whole line of portable speakers with an eye on the youth audience. In today's review, I will consider two older models: Sony SRS-XB30 and SRS-XB40. Is there a wow effect from these devices? Definitely.

Equipment

Seeing the size of the boxes, I immediately dreamed about the gigantic complete set of speakers Sony SRS-XB30 and SRS-XB40. After all, these devices are not the cheapest class, so the manufacturer must justify the cost with the maximum satisfaction of its customers. But no. The delivery set is extremely minimalistic and the same.

  • the column itself
  • charger (SRS-XB30 power supply has 5V<–>3A, and SRS-XB40 - 9.5V<–>2.2A)
  • instructions (which I had to use for the first time in a long time)

In general, in terms of equipment, Sony could not surprise me. It's just that everything is very high quality and tightly packed, nothing more.

Design

Frankly, when I was waiting for these speakers, I was more concerned about the design than the sound quality. As for the latter, I did not worry at all, knowing who the manufacturer was. Sony is one of the few companies that still continues to produce their proprietary audio players under the Walkman brand. So, thanks to many years of experience and the availability of technology, they have every opportunity to create the best devices on the speaker market.

A characteristic feature of the design of the entire line is a rectangle with rounded edges. And the older the model, the more similarity with a brick. Surely this is due to the fact that each subsequent model increases in size and weight. Here's a size comparison with the Creative D100.

If the Sony SRS-XB30 can still be called a portable and portable speaker system, then its older brother, the Sony SRS-XB40, is already a stretch. This is due to the weight of the device (1.5 kg), and not to its dimensions. But I believe that both devices are designed for stationary use at home or at a party.

Depending on the model, Sony offers several color options. Of course, these are the most popular colors: black, red and blue (the Sony SRS-XB30 also has green and white versions). But the black version seems to me the coolest and most brutal.

By the way, I’ll say right away about the corps. The material of both speakers is very easily soiled and literally gets dirty from everything! Even for photographs, I could not bring them into perfect condition.

Initially, I thought that the case was made of metal, the devices are so confident and heavy in the hands, but in fact it is plastic, which is very reminiscent of rubber in tactile sensations. This also provides moisture protection, because both models have the IPx5 standard.

Otherwise Sony SRS-XB30 and SRS-XB40 design excellent! I will tell you separately about each side.

The front side is covered with a metal mesh that protects the two speakers and the passive radiator. Along the perimeter of this grid, from the outside, there is one of the lighting elements.

On the top side are all the buttons and the NFC tag (I wonder if it is possible to pay for purchases in the store?):

  1. Extra Bass - a normal press activates an additional bass effect, and a long press turns on the backlight.
  2. A set of standard buttons: volume, start / pause, call acceptance (holding this button will let you know the percentage of battery charge), single operation mode / creating a pair from another speaker.
  3. The main button with a normal press turns the column on or off. A long press turns on Bluetooth to connect to your mobile device.

The rear passive radiator is also covered with a metal mesh. Next to it is a cover with rubberized seals, under which there are the following ports: 3.5 mm audio input, charging input and USB port.


Now the speakers can not only play music, but also charge mobile devices. Quite a handy feature if you often go on a picnic.

Here, by the way, is an example of the backlight: the Sony SRS-XB40 is shown on the left, the Sony SRS-XB30 on the right.


Surely everyone immediately noticed the difference. Unfortunately, the Sony SRS-XB30 lacks backlighting for the speakers themselves. Although this element occupies the largest area in the older model and looks more spectacular than the stroboscope and neon strip around the perimeter.

It also features the fact that the light passes through the metal mesh. The walls of a dark room are immediately painted with characteristic patterns.

Specifications

Differences between the two speakers are minimal: mostly dimensions, weight, and amount of backlighting. Although Sony has claimed a smaller battery for the SRS-XB30, official documentation says up to 24 hours of continuous operation for both models.

I think that, due to the lack of backlighting of the speakers, the operating time of the younger model is on par with the older one.

Sony SRS-XB30

  • rated power 64 W (but this is not accurate, later, I will explain why this is so)
  • Bluetooth 4.2 and NFC support
  • water protection at IPx5 level
  • hands-free support

  • dimensions: 228 x 82 x 86 mm
  • weight 980 grams

  • battery up to 24 hours of continuous operation
  • water protection at IPx5 level
  • hands-free support
  • 3 lighting elements: perimeter, strobe function and speaker illumination
  • dimensions: 279 x 100 x 105 mm
  • weight 1500 grams

Sound quality

For the past few years I have been using the Creative D100 portable speaker system. It must be admitted that the device is morally and technically obsolete. Admittedly, I didn't think about it that often before.

After listening to just a couple of tracks on Sony speakers, I realized that it was time to change my device. In just a few years, wireless audio technology has come a long way. The difference in sound is felt instantly.

But we must remember that in the first place sound Sony SRS-XB30 and SRS-XB 40 created for electronic music. After all, the manufacturer itself positions its own line as a replacement for nightclubs. Therefore, I did not get almost any pleasure from listening to rock music. Only if there is a powerful bass guitar in the composition.

In terms of sound quality or volume, I did not notice any difference at all between the two models.

Firstly, I never turned the sound up to the maximum volume, because there was a risk of simply going deaf, and the neighbors would immediately run to the door of my apartment. However, I never once got speaker wheezing.

Secondly, Sony officially revealed the power of only the older model SRS-XB40. She also added that the SRS-XB30 differs only in dimensions and a smaller battery. Therefore, by the usual logical chain, I came to the conclusion that the power of the speakers of the two models is at the same level.
Acoustic systems have a really large margin of volume. A little less than half the full scale on the smartphone was enough to hear the music clearly in the most remote parts of the apartment.

So that speakers Sony SRS-XB30 and SRS-XB40 they will definitely not let even the most passive party participants fall asleep and they can be safely used in large rooms or in nature.

Sony has its own application for iOS and Android operating systems. The application performs the functions of a kind of "hub" responsible for synchronizing, configuring and managing all multimedia devices of its own production.

In general, there is nothing innovative in the application. But there were enough problems:

  1. I still consider myself a geek and usually figure it out without the help of instructions. But, I never managed to connect the two speakers into a single synchronous audio system. It seems that according to the instructions there is nothing complicated, but the application itself loves to freeze and show the usual black screen when something goes wrong. Only restarting the application helps.
  2. I also failed to connect via NFC. Not on iPhone 7 Plus, not on . If in the first case the limitation of iOS itself, then on Android there is some kind of flaw or too intricate connection, where few people will figure it out. But the Bluetooth connection works just great! The speaker quietly plays music even at a distance of 15-20 meters from the smartphone.

I really want the manufacturer to be able to refine their application and simplify all processes. Still, this is not a device from a third-tier company, so that you have to “shamanize” the whole evening to get the result.

The speaker system is from a great Japanese company with a price of an average smartphone from , and Plug & Play is not implemented at the proper level. How did it happen?

There is also a separate Fiestable app. It is somewhat reminiscent of the stock program for controlling the backlight. Only there are a little more possibilities - there is a huge number of built-in templates. The backlight is already trying to get in time with the music, but Sony additionally offers us other settings with the priority of any color. Or set everything up with your own hands. The last option is much tougher.

Outcome

Has Sony managed to make a quality product? Definitely. With the Sony SRS-XB30 and SRS-XB40 speakers, anyone can become the center of attention at a noisy party, thanks to excellent sound and an original backlight system.

At the same time, these devices are perfect for arranging your own room with stationary acoustic systems.

It is better to overpay a couple of thousand at once, but enjoy a full-fledged light show throughout the entire life cycle of the device. I can assure all readers that the backlight feature is not on once or twice. Everyone can find a use for it.

    Swapped my last XB10 purchase for this one. After the little dozen, the wow effect is, of course, much less - that speaker is much smaller, cheaper, but plays quite similarly. But the younger model has a minus - there is no sound on the street. It becomes quieter, without bass, etc., because. the column is very attached to the surface on which it stands. With this column, everything is much better. There is already stereo sound, two passive radiators of a more impressive size.
    In general, she sings louder and more bass than a dozen, but not in proportion to the difference in price and size. It is best to listen to the speaker at home at a volume of 50-60% ...

    Advantages:

    Excellent build quality and looks. Battery / autonomy time. sound.

    Flaws:

    Price. Equipment. Sound at high volume

    Required to use "Music Center". Through it, you can control the sound level, adjust the gain, set the dynamic (smart) volume. There is an active equalizer, that is, not only preset modes, of which 8, ...

    Advantages:

    I will say right away that I am not a super-expert, but as a cultured person, I am deeply interested in everything that I like)
    Before buying, I looked at a lot of reviews on the "pipe", read on the Internet, including reviews in stores. The latter, alas, are few.) Almost none of the reviewers, unfortunately, did not mention such a nuance as the quality of the source. Also, no one has analyzed in detail the functions of the application on a smartphone.
    Most users will probably send tracks to the device for playback, such as social. networks, media portals and others like them, where music is pulled up from all the expanses of the World Wide Web, from time immemorial. Accordingly, the bitrate and file format on these tracks can be anything, *.MP3 (64, 96, 128, 256, VBR); *.ogg; *.WMA, other slag, which, in principle, cannot be leveled to at least medium quality by any multimedia devices. Here you may be disappointed, but don't be discouraged, the cure is in the comments)

    Flaws:

    Owners of devices running Android 4.4 - 5.X.X:
    You are interested in version 5.1.2 The older version (5.2.0) will not boot. There is a new version on Play Store. At this point, of course, SONY's policy is not entirely clear to me, well, God bless him. Solvable.
    Just download Song Pal bluetooth Wi-Fi remote 5.1.2.apk from the Internet, upload it to your smartphone/tablet, allow the device to install apps from unknown sources, and install the app. Fiestable's companion software is available for everyone on the Play Store. The latest version is available for owners of Android 6.X.X - 7.X.X and IOS devices.

    Advantages:

    Price-quality on top! Compared with JBL Charge 2, they play at about the same level (in Sony, the sound is cleaner, but the bass is worse)

    Flaws:

    Takes a long time to charge. Approximately 4-5 hours. Connected through 3.5 to the computer, and even when there is no sound, but the speaker is turned on, this time is considered to be in its 12 hours of operation. Forget bass. Do not listen above 60% of the sound, one mess.

Initially, I looked at xb40, which I did not like about it: big, heavy, a lot of bass, but a dirty sound, for which I love Sony, it was completely absent there. In xb 20 I really liked the clean high frequencies. The speaker can be listened to at minimum volume and the sound will be ...

  • Once the king of consumer electronics, Sony has lost ground over the past decade, especially when it comes to audio equipment. However, now the company is actively trying to rehabilitate itself and releases the Sony SRS-X9 column.

    Speaker Sony SRS-X9 — Reviews

    To date, there is perhaps no better solution for premium sound reproduction than Sony's SRS-X9 wireless speaker. This elegant and powerful audio device has a huge range of features. Also, the device was not without Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connection. And although the price of this speaker is truly royal (almost $ 700), the X9 is convincing proof that Sony still remembers what high-end audio equipment should be.

    Sony SRS-X9 speaker package

    The system is actually very solid. At first glance, it is clear that the X9 belongs to the SRS-X family: we see the same neutral design that distinguished the X7.

    However, a couple of new elements have been added, such as, for example, "recessed" tweeters decorated with gold borders, shiny aluminum side panels or a magnetic shield. These elements emphasize, so to speak, the status of the system.

    In the box we found a large collection of accessories, including a slim remote control, two AAA batteries, a piece of cleaning cloth and a couple of small tools with magnets on the ends needed to remove the front grille.

    Specifications and design

    While we've had enough of Sony's boring speaker design, the X9 has a more interesting look. On the one hand, the style of "nothing more" is sustained, but interesting accents are added.

    One of the aspects we liked the most was the elegant touch buttons arranged in a row on the top panel. The buttons that you will press most often (for example, power or volume control) are located right in front of your eyes.

    On the back of the device are Ethernet, USB-A and USB-B ports, 3.5mm Aux, and a WPS button. Also on the back is a retractable Wi-Fi antenna. Wireless connectivity includes NFC connectivity, Bluetooth 3.0 with aptX to compatible devices, and Wi-Fi with Airplay and DLNA support. The X9 plays files in various formats, from MP3s to WAV, DSD and FLAC with a maximum frequency of 192kHz/24bit.

    If we talk about the dimensions of the device, the column is approximately 43x13x13 cm, and weighs about 4.7 kg.

    If you use tools and magnets to remove the grille, you'll see a panel that houses twin 0.75" super tweeters and a 2.25" woofer for bass. Adding 2 external ones, the X9 has a total of 7 active speakers. The system is also equipped with 8 amplifiers.

    Connection

    Bluetooth connection is the easiest way to connect, especially for MP3 playback, and the sound is excellent. Wi-Fi connection is also no problem. After downloading the Sony Songpal app, all you need to do is follow the instructions.

    For the best sound quality, users will still need to play music from a computer. To connect a Mac to the X9, we used an ethernet cable and selected network settings. Then we waited a couple of minutes before the X9 started playing tracks from iTunes. Connecting Andriod devices is almost exactly the same, it is described step by step in the instructions.

    The SRS-X9 is capable of producing amazing sound that is far better and more spacious than any other wireless speaker in existence today. The X9 delivers pure sound that captures every nuance.

    In our opinion, the X9 conveys all the facets of acoustic guitar strings, violins, etc. All instruments are heard separately, without turning the composition into a "porridge" of different sounds. In addition, the sound is so powerful and spacious, making the X9 appear larger than it really is.

    The processing of the vocal lines is also wonderful. We listened to the song "Trouble's Lament" by Tori Amos in high definition (96kHz/24bit) and it felt like the artist was right next to us.

    When it comes to bass, you need to understand that this audio system is not intended, for example, for large hip-hop parties, when you need to literally shake the walls. Nevertheless, the basses sound full and voluminous, the drums and bass guitar are perfectly audible.

    Of course, the system is not without flaws: from time to time the sound becomes oversaturated. All the "pros" and "cons" of this audio system allowed us to evaluate the playback of one after the other tracks from the Resistance album by Muse. The vocals on "Map of the Problematique" sounded too sharp in the harmonies, and the percussion was too harsh, in our opinion. But when we got to the song "Soldier's Poem", we were very pleased with the X9's rich palette of clear sound. It seemed that the musicians themselves literally “filled” the music into our ears.

    Outcome

    Sony's SRS-X9 wireless speaker is a showcase of the power of sleek style and high-performance sound, but you'll have to pay a hefty sum to get that magnificence.

    This audio system will undoubtedly delight you with brilliant sound detail and amazing sound.

    pros

    • Unparalleled sound clarity
    • Smooth and smooth bass
    • Sleek modern design
    • A large number of additional options
    - 13 June 2017

    Advantages:

    1) Powerful sound, at maximum volume all objects vibrate, not even from the bass, but simply from the power of the sound. Sometimes even the chest vibrates.
    2) Really loud sound, 1 such speaker will sound a 3-room apartment 60m
    3) Powerful bass
    4) Cool RGB lighting and strobe lights and speaker lights
    5) Qualitatively made
    6) Really portable mini club, they didn’t lie))
    7) Protection against dust, splashes

    Flaws:

    1) Be sure to put it in the corner of the room, preferably somewhere under the table, otherwise the bass simply does not pump
    2) Plays about 5 hours at max volume, and about 20 hours at 30% volume, the volume is blocked until the speaker is recharged
    3) Unbalanced sound, due to the fact that the column does not have enough working volume to win back all frequencies. As a result, at the minimum volume the sound is muffled and the bass is too much with the XB turned on, at the maximum volume the sound is normal only somewhere in the corner or under the table, but simply in the hand or on the table ...

    Chose thoroughly. I listened to the top copies in the store. Sony immediately hooked on the sound quality. You can't even compare with a similar JBL column. JBL is pure marketing aimed at street teens. If you want sound quality then this is Sony.
    - Study of all frequencies at altitude. Highs, mids, lows - a very good balance. I was surprised by the bass in such a small speaker. You turn on the track with "tyts-tyts" and it feels like there is a subwoofer in the room.
    - But the bass is good up to half the sound volume - enough for a room of 25 sq.m. You can't throw a party with an ear-splitting sound. This is understandable, given the size ...

    Like everyone else, I chose between JBL Xtreme and Sony. JBL did not take because of the battery, because. they wear out after a while. But in principle, replacing them is not a problem. The battery capacity of JBL and Sony is the same, because. You need to look at watt-hours, not ampere-hours.
    So I took this column - column FIRE! A friend of Xtreme .. Sony was a little louder on the street and the sound seemed cleaner at maximum volume. Plus there is a backlight. A trifle, but nice .. I was satisfied with the purchase until the battery was discharged to 50% (judging by the application) ...
    If you listen to the maximum...

    Advantages:

    Cheaper than JBL competitor. The sound is clearer and sounds a little louder. Backlight. Equalizer adjustment.

    Flaws:

    software that reduces the maximum volume when the battery is 50% or less.

    Period of use:

    less than a month
