Overall XB40 is a good portable speaker for its price. It is loud, full of bass, and it is nice.

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2019

Color: BlackVerified Purchase

I have had the XB40 for a year. I recently bought the XB41 a half year ago. The price isn't too bad. It is expected compared to the other brands. Sony in my mind is a quality sound speaker producer. I know interesting way to describe it but if it gets my point across it does the job. The sound is fantastic, pretty loud. definitely can fill a room up. This thing can be loud. The bass is great you can really feel it being 5-8ft away, you can feel it in the furniture. Overall Good and worth getting for a portable speaker for around $100.

Now compared to the XB41.
I'm actually liking the XB40 more than the XB41. I find the XB41 not as loud or as strong bass as the XB40. XB41 has a longer battery life. the speaker placement on it is nice and it looks nice but the sound and bass is not good as the XB40. It is all up to preference. This is just another review and I'm not a professional also my hearing might not be as good as yours.

Overall XB40 is a good portable speaker for its price. It is loud, full of bass, and it is nice.

Sony XB40 delivers great sound outdoors and charges my cellphone!

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2017

Color: BlackVine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )Verified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

The Sony XB40 has many technological improvements that make this portable Bluetooth speaker system superior to other products in this crowded marketplace. We have been using Bluetooth speakers for several years while working out on our Louisiana forestland. The hot and humid environmental conditions put any speaker system to the test but since we are outdoors we may also drop the devices too! As a result, surviving a few weeks in our forestry crew is a true test!

The first thing you will notice about the Sony XB40 is the amount of sound it can produce in such a small size. Outside in an unconfined area that has no walls or houses, the Sony XB40 can truly reproduce my favorite music without a flaw. We generally run the speaker a few notches off its maximum because it tends to shake and rattle too much!

Operating the Sony is simple and it is very responsive to button pressing. For example, turn on the speaker with a Bluetooth paired phone playing music nearby and it will blast out your song in about 3 seconds. I noticed the Sony XB40 was is also much smaller in size compared to the G-Project G-Boom speaker we have been using outdoors. The compact design saves room in my backsack for other outdoors equipment.

We use a LG C900 cellphone to store and play music via Bluetooth. The phone has about a 10 hour battery life and will run out if we camp overnight. The integrated charge port on the Sony-XB40 wireless speaker solves this problem instantly.

Battery life of stereo Bluetooth speaker with LG C900 phone charging is approximately 20 hours 12 minutes. We gathered this from 3 different full charge and recharge cycles on the this product. We played the music about 75% power every time.

Finally and most important, the multiple flashing lights on the Sony-XB40 are my favorite feature! They are pleasing to watch from a distance and seem to give me an extra boost while working out in the forest.

In conclusion, amongst our crew of outdoor adventurers the Sony XB40 portable Bluetooth speaker is the best such system we have ever seen or used. We want two of these so we can blast out our favorite songs in all directions while enjoying our day in the forests of Louisiana!

I'm thinking of getting another one

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2018

I love these speakers. I got them for my flat screen TV since it's sound was terrible. They connect easily and sound great. The battery lasts a good long time. I've used it for the good portion of a day and have only run it down to about 70%. I also like that, in a pinch, you can charge your phone from this. And of course, you can use it while it's plugged in and charging. It feels solid. Very good quality. The only issue that I have is with the app that they have which can control the volume from your phone. My experience is that it works once and then I get an error message when I try again. And, once connected to my TV, I can no longer use the volume control on the remote for my TV (the volume control on the speakers still work). But those are minor concerns to me. Several people who I've shown these to were very impressed with the sound and have bought their own. I'm thinking of getting another one. I got this one for $168 and find them very much worth the money.

Color: BlackVine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

This Is a great little speaker the extra bass feature and the sound quality really makes you feel like you are listening to a high quality large sound system, in a tiny compact speaker> the fact that it is also water resistant is a great feature as we go camping and to the cottage a lot threw the summer or we are outdoors in some capacity and the not having to worry if it gets wet it awesome. the extra bass is a nice touch as it really helps with the songs that have to be played loud with the base high. Battery life is great it lasts a long time I find myself forgetting that it not plugged in until it beeps to tell me . the lights you can turn on or off is really cool my kids get a kick out off watching them "dance" to the beat of the music
another awesome feature is that you can charge your phone or tablet for the device

only issue I have had with the speaker is my Bluetooth will stop working and play from my phone but still be connected to the speaker but turning off the and back on fixes this problem
