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.

    I picked up this speaker as I needed something for training. So far it has been great. Solid sound and great battery once I turned of the lights. Considering getting a second one so I can link them for a surround sound effect.

    Excellent sound out of a small package. It’s no audiophile quality, but you’re also not spending thousands of dollars either. Solid quality build, great sound, and great battery for the price. App can be a little finicky with connectivity.

    Great for indoor or outdoor use. The sound quality is great, but I didn't find much use in the live button feature. It actually worsens sound quality in my opinion. For a small device it gets loud, great substitute for a DJ at parties.

    Since the Covid-19, my company made the decision to cut out some costs to help us safe money and continue to operate to help our guests, the music was one of the costs since our dining room is currently closed for our guests. I have had my eye of this Sony Bluetooth and was waiting to get my first "appreciation pay" from my company so that I could try it out at my store. My associates and are loving the sound quality, not to mention, the lights intermittently changing! When the store closes, we crank it up, and have a blast dancing as we clean and get our store ready for the next day! My associates want to buy one. I got the XL size, so be ware, because it's hard to tell when you are ordering online. It's BIG. But I'm a happy customer. ☺️

    IMHO this speaker provides great performance at its price point. The strobe features give the speaker a little attitude, as well. Its size is convenient and the water resistance is key when I'm at the lake.

    This speaker has plenty of volume and clear sound. Not as much on the extreme bass end, but it does everything I need it to. I use it every day while I get ready for work, and the battery lasts several weeks.

    We bought this so my husband could take it on a rafting trip. We have since used it for parties, just being outside and the rafting trip! We love it! The sound is awesome and the fact you can turn it way up is a huge bonus!

    Enjoyed and complimented on by my fiance, she is the music buff in the family. She also has notoriously good hearing. She states the JBL Extreme we have is just a bit better in quality/bass etc, but the price points make this unit a winner!

    I am really glad i chose this model. It is very impressive with volume and holds a great charge. I'm usually able to get 8hrs out of it . It will tell you by voice when it needs a charge. Love the flashing colors at night for my gatherings

    Battery life of 20 hrs is good for its size as long as you're not using the LED lights the whole time and 60% volume. Sound quality is not really impressive but better not best, depends on its sources. Bass is strong but quality of the sound overall is not as good compared to Bose or Sonos with its comparable size. Got it on sale so it's ok.

    I gave it only 4 stars because I originally was told it could BT to my Denon receiver and I could play HEOS to it. When I questioned it with BB they said it's only for phones. So I'm just using it via my Iphone. BT'd without any problem and has a nice sound. The lights don't matter as I'd rather have the longer battery life.

      Hi SteveD, we're glad you like the XB41! I apologize that someone told you it was HEOS compatible as it is not. However, it will work with receivers, soundbars, and TVs that have a Bluetooth® Transmitter. Hope this helps, and thank you for choosing Sony! ~Earl Sony_US
