Enceinte Bluetooth Sony SRS-XB40 Noir

Sound, lights, and battery life. Everything is incredible

Most of my music now is stored digitally so wanted something that was not large and not take up much space, something that looked nice in my living room, i did not buy for it's portability which is nice though if you want to put in car or take out on trip or something like that.Well i'm no music buff or pro but i'm 30yo and one of these is more than enough. It is very loud and i cannot imagine having two on together to be honest let alone a daisy chain of them. Hit the extra BASS button and omg even my cats dart off so i keep the BASS off and keep it on low volume, don't think neighbours would be happy either.Connects to my macbook, phone (via app) which is great by the way although DJ features etc i think are just gimmicky even for students. But other settings are good for configuring the speaker via you're phone. Want a radio? install a radio app (many on play store) on your phone, connect phone to speaker play the radio via the radio app and radio will come through speakers. any audio from phone will come through to speaker so applies to anything really.I like i can change the light strip colour from RAVE to Calm to STROBE and other ones can't remember them all and individual colours to set the mood or turn lights off all together which is good as sometimes i don't want the lights on.Battery life is not 24 hours that's just not the case for me, i got maybe 8 hours definitely not 24 but i don't take it out so not to much of a problem, could be a dodgy battery in mine perhaps.It has a microphone built in so you can answer calls via the speaker, not tested this as not interested in that feature to be honest. Hold the answer button down on speaker and it will tell you how much charge you have left and when to charge although the funny thing is the voice that tells you how much juice is left in battery is so low i can barely hear it with my ear next to the speak and forget about being able to hear her when you playing music, surely it would make sense to reduce music volume whilst she tells me how much juice is left.This brings me on to the major negative, when the battery drops to a certain level not that low either the speaker goes in to low volume mode and you cannot even turn it up loud again! why does sony think they have the rite to tell me because speaker is getting low on juice they can have the firmware to change the volume to auto turn itself down and block me from turning it backup until plugged in! i am furious over this, yes it will allow battery to last longer reducing the volume when battery starts getting low but i should make the choice if i want the volume to still be loud or reduce volume to make battery last longer, it's like being held to ransom by a speaker lols.The quality is good, feels rugged and solid to hold, definitely does not feel cheap or like it will break which is good as it is meant to be used for it's portability. I did not purchase a carry case when making the purchase, amazon did make a recommendation to add a case, i did not but again not taking anywhere or moving it around much but would recommend you get one if you are thinking of using it for it's portability.I would recommend but the volume auto going down once battery gets to to a certain percentage and not being able to turn it up again until plugged back in is shocking and silly choice sony made. However i do like it and i can just keep it plugged in when using as not taking it out but still not good enough either as it's meant to be portable, when she speaks to tell you how much juice is left she speaks so low you can barely hear her and if music is on then forget it as music does not go quiet when she tells you so can't hear her anyway. But would still recommend.

J'ai acquis 2 enceinte pour en faire une paire stéréo, et je peut dire que je ne suis pas déçus. J'avais peur de ne pas avoir un son aussi équilibré que la JBL xtreme, mais après un petit réglage de l'équalizer (pour ceux que sa intéresse, j'ai mis -1 aux basses, -2 aux medium, +3 aux aigu) je pense qu'elle est encore plus qualitative que la JBL(après c'est une question de gout, et on est clairement pas sur de l'enceinte hifi neutre que ce soit chez sony ou jbl). elle garde en mémoire les paramètre sur les enceintes, ce qui permet par la suite de les utiliser avec n'importe quel appareil avec les réglages qu'on a définit au niveau du son (équalizer, stéréo ou party chain, style lumineux, ...).Petit bémol concernant la prise en charge du LDAC, qui ne se fait que quand il n'y a qu'une seule enceinte xb40, des que l'on en a 2 ou plus on perd l'avantage "codec hires sony".mais même sans le LDAC toutes les sources audio sont restitué de manière agréable, étonnant. probablement un traitement de son flatteur au niveau de l’électronique de l'enceinte. Mais honnêtement sa ne dénature pas les morceaux et même a pleine puissance on ne perçois pas la distorsion ou même de saturation. Un vrai plaisir de ce point de vue la.Autre petit bémol sur les appel, une seule des 2 enceintes est utilisé, du coup des fois on se trompe et on ne s'approche pas de celle utilisé pour les appels. mais bon rien de bien méchant pour moi vu que je ne compte pas l'utilisé pour cet usage.Pour le mode stéréo avec les 2 enceintes, vu qu'elle ont une plage de fréquence réelle de 20Hz a prés de 16 ou 18 Khz (limite haute probablement liée aux codec bluetooth), le son est vraiment complet, on ne sent aucun manque que ce soit au niveau des extrême basse que des aigus.Le son est enveloppant en intérieur, et impressionnant en extérieur vis a vis de leur taille.Après il faut test avec et sans le mode extra bass en fonction de la situation, mais en extérieur le renforcement des basses est bluffant, en intérieur sa peut être too much, mais là, pareil c'est une question de gout de tout un chacun... En tout les cas sony laisse vraiment la main sur les réglages et c'est appréciable.Bref je recommande vivement ce modèle, qui face à la concurrence me semble beaucoup plus tout terrain (sauf pour l'étanchéité, je ne la plongerai pas dans l'eau, même si elle est certifié) avec une endurance de batterie que j'ai pu mettre à l'épreuve dans de nombreuses soirée ou elle n'ont jamais été a bout de souffle.Je pense même à les utiliser pour enceinte de salon (pas besoin d'une qualité irréprochable hifi hi end pour profiter de musique entre amis et autre films) de part la facilité de placement mobile a adapté en fonction de la situation d'écoute...

Très bien

Son got the SRS-XB30 for christmas and I kind of liked it so got this bigger version for the house and garden.I expected the SRS-XB40 to be louder by quite a bit but this is not, or doesn't appear to be, the case. I'm still not 100% convinced that mine isn't faulty as I really did expect it to blow my eardrums if sat too close to it on full volume....it really doesn't. It's loud...but not THAT loudWhat I will say is that although my son's XB30 seems to be as loud if not a little louder at times the XB40 has a richer or deeper or fuller sound to it ...or maybe that's just the type of music he listens to ...tinny, 150bpm but with a bass that will vibrate ornaments off a shelf. The XB40 seems to be less offensive on my ears but still disappointingly quiet when out in the garden trying to drown out the yappy dog up the road or some suchI don't know if it's the way the app works on an S8+ but I can't seem to find an easy way to turn up the actual speaker volume whilst listening to music, it's quicker to go and press the button than fumble around on the phone, yes you can use the phone volume keys but this doesn't adjust the actual speaker volume just the music source volume which is altogether different. I didn't realise this at first and was really gutted at the poor sound but then realised there are two different volume adjustments you can make.I don't get the complaints about lack of middle or treble or whatever....surely that's what the EQ settings are for and I think you'd have to be a pretty serious muso type to pick fault in that respect.I think with it's flashing lights and and whatnot, this speaker is aimed at a more general consumer group who just want to play it loud (ish) with some decent bass rather than someone who wants to sit and appreciate the multiple complexities of classical music and such? And I really don't mean that in an offensive way at all ...just like anything else in life ..."each to their own"Anyway - other than my niggle over how loud it may or may not be, I like this unit, I like the sound of it, I like that it's portable and splashproof ...I understand the new version is even submersible in seawater and has a few extra gimmicks but from the you tube review I saw , the sound is not as good/nice ... but I'm not sure I'd want to have paid the full RRP of it at all in fact I really know I wouldn't have paid out £200 for one, but half that and I was up for giving it a try.
