Swapped my last XB10 purchase for this one. After the little dozen, the wow effect is, of course, much less - that speaker is much smaller, cheaper, but plays quite similarly. But the younger model has a minus - there is no sound on the street. It becomes quieter, without bass, etc., because. the column is very attached to the surface on which it stands. With this column, everything is much better. There is already stereo sound, two passive radiators of a more impressive size.
In general, she sings louder and more bass than a dozen, but not in proportion to the difference in price and size. It is best to listen to the speaker at home at a volume of 50-60%...

Advantages:

Excellent build quality and looks. Battery / autonomy time. sound.

Flaws:

Price. Equipment. Sound at high volume

First.
Required to use "Music Center". Through it, you can control the sound level, adjust the gain, set the dynamic (smart) volume. There is an active equalizer, that is, not only preset modes, of which 8, ...

Advantages:

I will say right away that I am not a super-expert, but as a cultured person, I am deeply interested in everything that I like)
Before buying, I looked at a lot of reviews on the "pipe", read on the Internet, including reviews in stores. The latter, alas, are few.) Almost none of the reviewers, unfortunately, did not mention such a nuance as the quality of the source. Also, no one has analyzed in detail the functions of the application on a smartphone.
Most users will probably send tracks to the device for playback, such as social. networks, media portals and others like them, where music is pulled up from all the expanses of the World Wide Web, from time immemorial. Accordingly, the bitrate and file format on these tracks can be anything, *.MP3 (64, 96, 128, 256, VBR); *.ogg; *.WMA, other slag, which, in principle, cannot be leveled to at least medium quality by any multimedia devices. Here you may be disappointed, but don't be discouraged, the cure is in the comments)

Flaws:

Owners of devices running Android 4.4 - 5.X.X:
You are interested in version 5.1.2 The older version (5.2.0) will not boot. On the play market already a new version. At this point, of course, SONY's policy is not entirely clear to me, well, God bless him. Solvable.
Just download Song Pal bluetooth Wi-Fi remote 5.1.2.apk from the Internet, upload it to your smartphone/tablet, allow the device to install apps from unknown sources, and install the app. Fiestable's companion software is available for everyone on the Play Store. The latest version is available for owners of Android 6.X.X - 7.X.X and IOS devices.

The column costs 5 kilorubles, and wins back every ruble. Of course, Marshall or Cambrige Audio acoustics play differently, as well as cost different money.
For 5 rubles, it gives a clear and fairly loud sound. If you want boom-boom, maybe you should look in the direction of jbl, I didn’t even listen to them, remembering their sound from floor acoustics, ...

I bought it for a share for 3800. I was 100% satisfied before that was Extreme. Of course, heaven and earth in terms of sound, but it is inappropriate to compare. those are 3 times more expensive than my purchase. Charging time...

Advantages:

Price-quality on top! compared with JBL Charge 2, they play at about the same level (in Sony, the sound is cleaner, but the bass is worse)

Flaws:

Takes a long time to charge. Approximately 4-5 hours. Connected through 3.5 to the computer, and even when there is no sound, but the speaker is turned on, this time is considered to be in its 12 hours of operation. Forget bass. Do not listen above 60% of the sound, one mess.

Before buying a speaker, I advise you to listen to it and compare it with older models. Initially, I looked at xb40, which I did not like about it: big, heavy, a lot of bass, but a dirty sound, for which I love Sony, it was completely absent there. In xb 20 I really liked the clean high frequencies. The speaker can be listened to at minimum volume and the sound will be ...

A few months ago, Sony introduced a whole line of portable speakers with an eye on the youth audience. In today's review, I will consider two older models: Sony SRS-XB30 and SRS-XB40. Is there a wow effect from these devices? Definitely.

Equipment

Seeing the size of the boxes, I immediately dreamed about the gigantic configuration Sony speakers SRS-XB30 and SRS-XB40. After all, these devices are not the cheapest class, so the manufacturer must justify the cost with the maximum satisfaction of its customers. But no. The delivery set is extremely minimalistic and the same.

• the column itself
• charger (SRS-XB30 power supply has 5V<–>3A, and SRS-XB40 - 9.5V<–>2.2A)
• instruction (which had to, for the first time for a long time, use)

In general, in terms of equipment, Sony could not surprise me. It's just that everything is very high quality and tightly packed, nothing more.

Design

Frankly, when I was waiting for these speakers, I was more concerned about the design than the sound quality. As for the latter, I did not worry at all, knowing who the manufacturer was. Sony is one of the few companies that still continues to produce their proprietary audio players under the Walkman brand. So, thanks to many years of experience and the availability of technology, they have every opportunity to create best devices in the speaker market.

A characteristic feature of the design of the entire line is a rectangle with rounded edges. And the older the model, the more similarity with a brick. Surely this is due to the fact that each subsequent model increases in size and weight. Here's a size comparison with the Creative D100.

If the Sony SRS-XB30 can still be called a portable and portable speaker system, then its older brother, the Sony SRS-XB40, is already a stretch. This is due to the weight of the device (1.5 kg), and not to its dimensions. But I believe that both devices are designed for stationary use at home or at a party.

Depending on the Sony models offers several color options. Of course, these are the most popular colors: black, red and blue (the Sony SRS-XB30 also has green and white versions). But black version I think the most cool and brutal.

By the way, I’ll say right away about the corps. The material of both speakers is very easily soiled and literally gets dirty from everything! Even for photographs, I could not bring them into perfect condition.

Initially, I thought that the case was made of metal, the devices are so confident and heavy in the hands, but in fact it is plastic, which is very reminiscent of rubber in tactile sensations. This also provides moisture protection, because both models have the IPx5 standard.

Otherwise Sony SRS-XB30 and SRS-XB40 design excellent! I will tell you separately about each side.

The front side is covered with a metal mesh that protects the two speakers and the passive radiator. Along the perimeter of this grid, from the outside, there is one of the lighting elements.

On the top side are all the buttons and the NFC tag (I wonder if it is possible to pay for purchases in the store?):

1. Extra Bass - a normal press activates an additional bass effect, and a long press turns on the backlight.
2. A set of standard buttons: volume, start / pause, call acceptance (holding this button will let you know the percentage of battery charge), single operation mode / creating a pair from another speaker.
3. The main button with a normal press turns the column on or off. A long press turns on Bluetooth to connect to your mobile device.

The rear passive radiator is also covered with a metal mesh. Next to it is a cover with rubberized seals, under which there are the following ports: 3.5 mm audio input, charging input and USB port.

Now the speakers can not only play music, but also charge mobile devices. Quite a handy feature if you often go on a picnic.

Here, by the way, is an example of the backlight: the Sony SRS-XB40 is shown on the left, the Sony SRS-XB30 on the right.

Surely everyone immediately noticed the difference. Unfortunately, the Sony SRS-XB30 lacks backlighting for the speakers themselves. Although this element occupies the largest area in the older model and looks more spectacular than the stroboscope and neon strip around the perimeter.

It also features the fact that the light passes through the metal mesh. Walls dark room immediately painted with characteristic patterns.

Specifications

Differences between the two speakers are minimal: mostly dimensions, weight, and amount of backlighting. Although Sony has claimed a smaller battery for the SRS-XB30, the official documentation says up to 24 hours of continuous operation for both models.

I think that, due to the lack of backlighting of the speakers, the operating time of the younger model is on par with the older one.

Sony SRS-XB30

• rated power 64 W (but this is not accurate, later, I will explain why this is so)
• Bluetooth 4.2 and NFC support

Sound quality

For the past few years I have been using the Creative D100 portable speaker system. It must be admitted that the device is morally and technically obsolete. Admittedly, I didn't think about it that often before.

After listening to just a couple of tracks on Sony speakers, I realized that it was time to change my device. In just a few years, wireless audio technology has come a long way. The difference in sound is felt instantly.

But we must remember that in the first place sound Sony SRS-XB30 and SRS-XB 40 created for electronic music. After all, the manufacturer itself positions its own line as a replacement for nightclubs. Therefore, I did not get almost any pleasure from listening to rock music. Only if there is a powerful bass guitar in the composition.

In terms of sound quality or volume, I did not notice any difference at all between the two models.

Firstly, I never turned the sound up to the maximum volume, because there was a risk of simply going deaf, and the neighbors would immediately run to the door of my apartment. However, I never once got speaker wheezing.

Secondly, Sony officially revealed the power of only the older model SRS-XB40. She also added that the SRS-XB30 differs only in dimensions and a smaller battery. Therefore, by the usual logical chain, I came to the conclusion that the power of the speakers of the two models is at the same level.
Acoustic systems have a really large margin of volume. A little less than half the full scale on the smartphone was enough to hear the music clearly in the most remote parts of the apartment.

So that speakers Sony SRS-XB30 and SRS-XB40 they will definitely not let even the most passive party participants fall asleep and they can be safely used in large rooms or in nature.

Sony has its own app under Operating Systems iOS and Android. The application performs the functions of a kind of "hub" responsible for synchronizing, configuring and managing all multimedia devices of its own production.

In general, there is nothing innovative in the application. But there were enough problems:

1. I still consider myself a geek and usually figure it out without the help of instructions. But, I never managed to connect the two speakers into a single synchronous audio system. It seems that according to the instructions there is nothing complicated, but the application itself loves to freeze and show the usual black screen when something goes wrong. Only restarting the application helps.
2. I also failed to connect via NFC. Not on iPhone 7 Plus, not on . If in the first case the limitation of iOS itself, then on Android there is some kind of flaw or a too intricate connection, where few people will figure it out. But the Bluetooth connection works just great! The speaker quietly plays music even at a distance of 15-20 meters from the smartphone.

I really want the manufacturer to be able to refine their application and simplify all processes. Still, this is not a device from a third-tier company, so that you have to “shamanize” the whole evening to get the result.

The speaker system is from a great Japanese company with a price of an average smartphone from , and Plug & Play is not implemented at the proper level. How did it happen?

Also have separate application fiestable. It is somewhat reminiscent of the stock program for controlling the backlight. Only there are a little more possibilities - there is a huge number of built-in templates. The backlight is already trying to get in time with the music, but Sony additionally offers us other settings with the priority of any color. Or set up everything with my own hands. The last option is much tougher.

Outcome

Did it succeed Sony make a quality product? Definitely. With the Sony SRS-XB30 and SRS-XB40 speakers, anyone can become the center of attention at a noisy party, thanks to excellent sound and an original lighting system.

At the same time, these devices are perfect for arranging your own room with stationary acoustic systems.

It is better to overpay a couple of thousand at once, but enjoy a full-fledged light show throughout life cycle devices. I can assure all readers that the backlight feature is not on once or twice. Everyone can find a use for it.
