Sony SRS XB40 Bluetooth Speaker - The light show speaker Review

2017-04-11
hey what's up cube Willington here introducing the sony SRS XP 41 of the new speakers the sony just released and mind you we're going to be unpacking all those speakers here in the next set of videos so make sure you subscribe so you don't miss out on those videos when they go live alright so out of the box you don't get really a ton of stuff you just get your speaker a wall adapter which looks the same as the sony the one that comes with a sony SRX xp3 and some paperwork stuff and that's it the structure design of the speaker will look familiar to you if you've seen or owned to the xp3 with slight changes at the grill for reasons I'll be talking about shortly it features two full range six to one millimeter drivers and APR in the center which according to Sony they're able to give you a frequency response that goes as low as 20 Hertz it features NFC for is occurring but bluetooth is getting so better every day I feel like this is becoming more of a marketing feature on these speakers and speaking of Bluetooth it's rocking bluetooth 4.2 and you will get a range of 10 meters or 32 feet before any interruptions and collapsing audio Sony promises about 24 hours of playtime on a single charge but I'm pretty sure this is if you're listening at about half the volume I'll come back with my findings on that in the upcoming videos the speaker has an IP X 5 rating which means it can take a splash at a pool but do not submerge it it it's not to be submerged in water they changed the layout of the buttons on top here if you compare it to the XP 3 which I personally think it looks better all these buttons on here are pretty self-explanatory the only ones that might be new to some people at the add button which is used for adding more speakers to play in sync and those two LED lights above it are to help guide in doing so and also using the play button you play pause skip to the next stroke with a double tap and with a triple tap you can go back to the previous track the other button that might be new to some people is the extra base button this will boost the lower frequencies for a more boosted bass sound experience but the same button will also turn on off the right which lets you ask well JBL has been leading their light up speaker kind of stuff with their pals line of speakers and Sony now once in the XD Foley has been advertised as a party speaker and that's because of these LED lights you have so control of the light that wrap around the grill using the Fiesta app which works in conjunction with Sony Music Center / song pal app by this I mean you have to get the Sony Music Center app first and once you're in that app you'll have the choice to download the Fiesta Bowl app and that's where the magic happens you can set the lights to go with the music you're playing or just customize them however you like it and whatever colors you want and I gotta say that app is really responsive interactive and well designed I wish - Bo could learn something here because their app really sucks anyways I like the fact that I can turn those lights off if I don't want them because I'm pretty sure you're using some juice using those lights so your battery will not last as long as when you don't have them on behind the speaker hiding under this flap you'll find a USB DC outlet for charging a power-hungry device a 9.5 volt DC in Jack for recharging your speaker a reset button and lastly an audio jack I'll play some sound samples for you guys here but before that let me know what speakers you'd like to see battle against this speaker in the sound battle video series in this sample the speaker will be playing a 70 percent volume take a lesson and Oh hold on go now wait a minute I've got don't dare to say you shave it oh I'm happy to make now oh yeah you have to picnic oh let's just break it down do you let me look down and all around hilda disco ball that I have to be me never would see anger is misplaced don't hurt me we planned Oh okay so I'm not a big fan of the extra base on the sony SRS xp3 but I feel like they improved it here but this feature is mainly for best heavier listeners because it tends to drown the mids and highs with this boosted bass for bass levels pretty sure they should be okay but for people looking for cleaner balanced music you are going to sleep with a plane mode it's more balanced and brighter and you can still hear the best pretty well the speaker gets pretty loud it's definitely up there with a JBL extreme the I roar the mega boom and speakers that fall in that category we'll have to see how it stacks up those speakers so if you're not subscribed make sure you do so you don't miss out on those videos when they go live all in all I think the speaker is mainly balanced for enhanced best listening and if you're the kind who does not like boosted bass and that's not listen to bass heavy music this is probably not for you but that's just my opinion and I know sound is so subjective I would like to hear what you guys have to say about the all-new XP 40 will you get it just because of all these new lights or you don't even care about the light I'd like to hear what you think about the lights so drop me a comment down below don't forget to subscribe if you haven't yet and don't forget to suggest a speaker that you'd like to see go up against the xba-40 thanks for watching this one I will see you the next one peace ha
