Customer Ratings & Reviews

The sound quality on this speaker is awesome for the size. Love it and would definitely recommend it hands down or up m, either way it’s great.

Needed to invest in a good set of speakers and this was not disappointing. It’s visually pleasing and sound is fantastic

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.

Purchased this speaker to play outdoors while sitting on the patio or to put in the cart when I play golf. Get lots of compliments on it's rich sound.

I use this speaker in my shop bay. No problems with signal while walking around with my phone in my pocket. Sound quality is great as well!!

I used this speaker for twelve hours one day, and it had good battery life left. I can take my phone inside the house and clearly be 60 feet away from the speaker and it still has good connection for Bluetooth. Outstanding sound out of that little speaker. Would definitely buy again and recommend to many people. I mainly wanted it for tunes around the patio and pool. It fills the whole backyard with outstanding sound. I do have a one acre backyard though. But very impressive. You can always depend on Sony speakers.

Very nice speaker for the size has big strong sound. Also like how it sinks up with another Sony speaker I got.

At the price point I would've expected more volume but it works well and we've used it regularly at the beach and outdoor movies. Having trouble getting other people's devices to connect with it, though. And, again, wish it was louder.

great sound. Super satisfied with the $150 price. Wish was $100 so I could but a few. Great with tidal dolby atmos!!!!

This speaker has amazing sound and the color features are fun the kids enjoy watching the colors move to the beat of the music!

This Speaker has been great for enjoying our pool, the sound is really good and the "live" button adds a certain flare to the sound

Big sound for a small speaker! Works great with the larger Sony I purchased at the same time. Party chain feature is awesome.

To date this speaker has been great. I feel I made a great choice for my needs and with this I also think I will be getting another.
