Customers are saying

Customers love the SRS-XB41 Portable Bluetooth Speaker's sound quality, long battery life, and impressive bass. Many also appreciate its ease of use, portability, and the fun lighting features. While some found the price a bit high and the weight noticeable, the positive feedback on sound and convenience outweighs these minor drawbacks. The speaker's water resistance is also a frequently praised feature.

    This Sony speaker pairs quickly via Bluetooth, and puts out a surprisingly louder and clearer sound than I was expecting. My boomboxes from my youth were much larger, but couldn't replicate the clarity of this speaker's sound quality. The battery life is excellent, and the recharge time is good. I wish I had a second one to try the dual pairing.

    I wasn't sure I wanted to spend $200 on a speaker but loved the sound quality in the store and the color changing lights. I took it home and use it every day! Sound is superior to any other portable speaker I have ever owned. I love the lights flashing to the music, can set the mode for anything. Highly recommended.

    I had a different portable speaker, but it gave the music a tinny sound, especially drums. A Best Buy agent recommended this speaker after I explained what I was looking for. She did a great job as this speaker is everything I was looking for. It is much louder than the one I had, but more importantly it provides that thumping bass that should come with certain music.

    The sound of this is great. Good bass for the size, and nice quality of sound and tone. The issue is the linking to other speakers. It claims you can link 100 of these together. We got this and two XB32 speakers. They do in fact link up and sync the light effects, but it seems to take at least half an hour of messing with them to get them to finally link together. One will connect and drop the other. Constant messing with it will finally get you there but it can be very frustrating. When all are synced up you get some good sound from all the directions you place them.

    I was impressed with the sound quality of this portable speaker. This is my first Blue Tooth speaker. Everyone really likes it. Very easy to use and set up took 5 minutes. The only feature that might be a little annoying to people is the multi color lights that pulse to the beat of the music. There is no way to turn them off. Other than that it performs flawlessly.

    I've only been using it for a few weeks. The sound is amazing as is the battery life. I use the speaker all around my house. It can easily fill any room with a nice rich sound but outdoors is where it really shines. My backyard is probably about 40 feet deep and 100 feet wide. I put the speaker on a table and place it around 30 feet away from house. At 60% it fills my entire yard with sound. Turn it up a little more & I can here it out front. You do need to download the app so you can customize the bass, mids & high. It makes a big difference otherwise the sound is a little bass heavy. I listen to grunge, hard rock, heavy metal & 90's-early 2000's hip hop/rap (I have a wide range) and it all sounds fantastic. I probably use the speaker 5-12 hours a day (I usually keep the lights off) and have been impressed with the battery life. In my household we also have a xb30 (I thought my battery was dead but it turned out that the charger was the issue) and an xb21. The 41 blows them all away. That said, I can pair the 21 & the 41 together and the combined sound is simply amazing. Fills whatever space I tried and makes me want to pick up an extra for a true surround. Great speaker at a great price.

      Hi Budman, Thank you for a truly in-depth review, and we appreciate you putting your new XB41 to the test! If you do buy another one, you will be able to set them into "stereo" mode and that creates an even wider soundstage with left/right separation of course. Again thanks for taking the time to review the XB41 and for continuing to buy Sony speakers! We at Sony truly appreciate it. ~Earl Sony_US

    This speaker is awesome ! It’s loud and makes the music sound so good ! It has different colored lights to add to the fun that move with the music . It syncs with my iPhone perfectly when I have functions at my house or just for my easy listening. I absolutely love it and it has long battery life but it does come with a charger.

    This speaker is great!! Man I can't say enough about this product: the sound quality is excellent, it holds a 24 hour charge, it's loud and has a crisp sound. The speaker lights up and you can also turn the lights off. It also has great features. I have nothing bad to say about this product.
