Review on Sony SRS-XB43 Extra Bass Wireless Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Blue (Renewed) by Somsak Pasalae ᠌

I chose this speaker because it supports the LDAC codec and USB Type-C charging. Due to their absence, I abandoned JBL Xtreme 2. I also considered Onyx Studio 6, the bass is lower and more powerful, but the sound is purely monophonic and the battery capacity is much less. Well, the design in the form of a women's bag is such a thing. In terms of sound quality, I'll give Sony a solid four. It is not bad: there are basses, and sometimes there are even too many of them. True, they are not always well articulated, in many tracks there is an extra boom and a lack of punch. The middle is a bit lacking, but this can be pulled out with an equalizer. The top is pretty good. Why does the speaker not pull 15 kilo in terms of sound? There is a certain tightness and you always understand that it is not stationary acoustics that is playing, but a column with moisture protection. Apparently, the costs of a sealed design. The volume is enough for me. The apartment has 68 sq. M. at 60% volume it is very audible in any room. For the street - I don’t know, the season is over, now I’ll check it only in the spring. As for the backlight, it is there, but it is not clear why it is needed. It constantly does not fall into time, and there is a feeling that it blinks just randomly. But when it hits, the effect is cool. But she rarely succeeds. The column size is smaller than I expected from the photos and reviews. In this case, that's a plus. And the minus is the weight of three kilograms in the absence of fasteners. It will do for the house, but it is problematic to take it with you somewhere. There is a case on the well-known Chinese site, but this is such a solution. The design is not bad, the column certainly does not look cheap and ugly (at least without backlighting). Much better in real life than in the photo. The materials are high quality and pleasant to the touch.
