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.

      Hi Yeayea, Thank you so much for purchasing a XB41 for your Aunt and your Mom. We are very happy to hear they like them! As you know, their XB41s are waterproof and dustproof so they can take them wherever they go. The next time the family gets together make sure they bring them along. You can combine the sound of their speakers and play music through both at the same time. It is a truly awesome experience. Thank you for choosing Sony! ~Earl Sony_US

    I loved the speaker and the sound it produced. The reason I returned is because of trouble connecting with my Note 8. I had to reconnect and forget it and connect again every time I wanted to use it. Just too much of a hassle for something that should be seamless.

    Sounded loud & clear in the store but not so much when I got it home. I hate that you can only control volume with your phone. Looks cool when it lights up but wasn't worth the price I paid overall

    Overall we like this product, but with the default settings the bass is overpowering and the mids and highs are muffled. Turning off the bass boost, then using the equalizer in the app to boost the mids and highs helps, but the highs still could be clearer. High frequencies should be easy in a small package such as this, but they seem to have put all of their effort into the bass, which is surprisingly good for the size. If there was an "on the fence" option for recommending to a friend I'd select it. This doesn't get a strong recommendation from me, but it's not a total wash either. For the price paid, I'd expect better sound quality. It feels like they were just trying to overwhelm you with volume.

    OMG We absolutely love this. I bought one for my husband, a smaller one a while back and he loves it, so we decided to buy two more one for each of our kids. This is the bigger one. My daughters say the sound is amazing and the lights that light up wow. This puts out so much amazing sound. My husband ended up giving his to his brother in law and bought himself another. We give this a FIVE STAR. Back again just bought another one.

    Great portable speaker

    The Sony SRS-XB41 is a high-quality portable speaker that is extremely versatile. It is suitable for just about everywhere: bookshelf, house party, open room, outdoors, pool/beach. Mine was black and covered with a fabric that was easy to dust off and clean. It has a similar profile to other portable speakers and is unobtrusive in most locations. I used it mainly to stream music from my Android phone, and the music sounded very nice. There was a nice combination of high-range, mid-range, and bass. The unit has a Live Sound button that produced the most balanced sound for my taste. It felt I could hear music clearly no matter where I was in relation to the speaker, which is nice in outdoor settings. If more bass is desired, there is an Extra Bass feature that is similar to other Sony products. I found that the Extra Bass was handy at higher volumes. To me, the most important feature of this speaker is that it is waterproof (IP67 rating) and dustproof. It hasn’t gotten particularly dusty, but I did test the waterproofing by giving the unit a quick dunk in a sink and it continued to function flawlessly. The unit does have lighting that can be turned off, or even changed. I didn’t care for the light as it will drain the battery but it looks cool in a dark setting. I was able to get 20 hours out of the unit once it was fully charged and without using the lighting feature. It comes with an AC adapter for charging, and will also charge via USB but does not include that cord. The unit does have tap functionality which allows the user to touch the speaker to make DJ-style sounds (scratch, snare, drum, cowbell), and control the volume and lightning. I am not a DJ but my kids did enjoy the DJ noises. You can also use voice commands via Siri/Google to control the speaker. I would recommend downloading the Sony Music Center app to get the most functionality of the speaker; it was easy to use. One last feature is that you can connect up to 100 of these units via the Sony app to create a massive amount of sound. With all of the light controls, DJ tools, and great quality music, it could be amazing to hook up several of these speakers for small party venues. This isn’t something you can do with many portable speakers. In summary, this speaker produces great sound and seems very durable. It lasts a long time between charges, is waterproof/dustproof, and is appropriate for any location for any use. If I were a DJ or had a small party venue, I would even consider this product for business use.
