- Beautiful design, backlight, power supply included, usb-c, aux.
- Sound volume! Does not connect with previous series.
- Traditional SONY presence of NFC
- The bass is unreasonably much, it cannot be called high-quality, it simply clogs the rest of the sound. The speaker performs medium and especially high frequencies extremely poorly. High frequencies are almost inaudible, despite listening to FLAC files with the LDAC 990 kbps codec. You have to turn the equalizer. Moreover, in some tracks, for example, singing Tibetan bowls, the speaker produces a real squeak instead of a high-frequency sound. Those. acoustics are not able to lose it - just tin! It is not possible to listen to music via BT using the LDAC 990 kbps codec and at the same time use WiFi on the transmitting device, the sound is interrupted. And this became especially noticeable after ating the speaker firmware to version 3700. This happens for one simple reason, because the source uses one chip for WiFi and Bluetooth, and obviously it cannot cope with the load. You have to use the mobile Internet at this time if you transmit sound from a smartphone in order to exclude sound interruptions. Which for many will limit the use of streaming HiFi services in the absence of unlimited mobile Internet on the tariff. Also, the disadvantages include a cheap sticker sticker with the SONY logo.
- Design, sound quality.
- Such a column for its size.
- Sound, bass, Live Sound, backlight, LDAC codec, capacious battery.
- Feels heavy.
- Excellent sound quality, the ability to adjust the equalizer in the application. Quality factor of materials and assembly of the column. The LDAC codec does a little magic, plus there is a 3.5mm jack. Connection, that the first, that the subsequent without problems is perfect - quickly and clearly.
- Didn't reveal.
- - Pretty legible sound throughout the entire frequency range, not giving the impression that a small box is playing. - "Bottoms" are quite good, MF and HF are legible and not intrusive. Live mode sounds noticeably better than on the XB-41. - Loudness is adequate, but not as impressive as some might expect based on the 2x weight gain over the XB-41. - The battery holds for a long time, the declared fulfills. - At the maximum, it plays cleanly, does not wheeze.
- - In reality, in terms of dB (loudness in decibels), it does not sound louder than the XB-41, as well as it does not really excel in bass, due to size compromises due to the fact that passive radiators were placed on the sides, now the speaker is Very important for a good sound pictures in the lower range, its location in the room, almost the same as for a stationary subwoofer, in the corner against the wall, in the XB-41 this "effect" is not observed due to the frontal location, and the bass is more "stable" it is especially audible if you wear her in her backpack. It seems that the XB-43 was made portable for the home. And as you know that for the home, there are better and cheaper options, for example, Harman Kardon.
- For a long time I wanted to buy a more powerful speaker, otherwise I dabbled in a small 10-watt Platinet speaker. The agony of choice has come. What to take? From what you hear, like JBL, but more expensive or take from a cheaper segment, but stuffed with all sorts of goodies, a la SVEN. But with this approach, with more or less the same power parameters, the difference in price reached 3 times. Even more delving into the "halls of the mind", or rather in the range of electronics stores, I found this miracle for myself. Among the advantages I can note the following: 1) Appearance 2) Sound. I like it, but with a small note - not at full volume. around 70-80% it sounds very good and I even discovered some sounds in the tracks that I hadn't heard before. The bass is solid, does not disappear even at a very low volume, but it is almost inaudible at maximum. At the maximum, the sound goes into the middle, and there you want to press the Live mode, it will become a little louder, but not bass. 3) USB-Type C - included 3-amp charging. She is now on all gadgets 4) Application for smartphone - cool, I like the presence of a built-in equalizer. Turn the backlight on and off, change colors. DJ effects - I just remembered my youth and work at the console. 5) Backlight - I thought I needed it or not, but in fact it turned out that in the dark, but in good company, and with cheerful music it is only a plus. 6) The battery lasts a long time. Inside is a 5000 mAh battery. I still have not discharged the column to zero even once. Counting on 24 hours of maximum mode + backlight is stupid. But with reasonable use - easily. 7) Price is an important parameter. In Chisinau, the price of the speaker is ~200 euros, while its rival Xtreme 3 costs 320 euros. I won't pay such an amount for an imaginary increase in volume and a strap.
- 1) The weight is too big. It is uncomfortable to carry in the hand, only if you put it in a backpack. It's about ferrite magnets. If there were neodymium, the column would weigh much less. 2) The main disadvantage is that you cannot switch the track by pressing the +/- buttons. In the column for 20 euros it is possible, but in the column for 200 it is not. Pichalka.
- Sound! He is exactly real, alive, does not mumble lows, does not press with an excess of highs, exactly what you need! It's Sony! Of course - the backlight, many different modes. The latter, by the way, in large numbers, like other sound settings - in the application. There is NFC.
- It can only be that when the volume is raised, it "cuts" the bottoms a lot. But this is quite natural, miracles do not happen.
- Good mids and highs sound. There is a proprietary application.
- The shape is inconvenient to carry and heavy weight. Lack of distinct bass. Insufficient volume. Well, a chip with a 50% power limit when the battery drops. The sound is perceived loudly directly in front of the front. In the previous model, it was more extended to the sides.
- Sound, battery capacity, ease of connection via NFC.
- Price
- Good sound, enough bass, the presence of "light music" for the mood. Nice design (I liked it more in blue than in black. It's a pity that it's not in beige) The presence of an application for control (3-band equalizer, lighting effects modes). Fast connection via NFS
- In operation only the second week, nothing negative was found
- This speaker is able to fill your summer cottage, kitchen, boat with excellent sound for a portable device. It must be understood that this is not a full-fledged Hi-Fi equipment, you should not expect high fidelity from it, but still the sound is really good. You can compare its sound with the Harman Kardon Harman / Kardon Go + Play that I have. Despite the fact that the "leaders of the market" are increasingly found in mono-sound and one full-range speaker - here - lo and behold, two full-range speakers and two tweeters and it's stereo. The column perfectly copes with instrumental, jazz and classical music, pleasant vocals without distortion and plastic notes and wheezing, elastic, not pressing bass, the tops are pleasant to the ear! However, it also plays out modern styles remarkably, for its size. A good branded application that allows you to customize the sound "for yourself." Powerful battery. At a volume of 60-70%, it works for 10-12 hours, and this is also its strength.
- The weight. She weighs almost three kilograms! If you take it on a hike - then only a car! It will not work to tie it to the bike, there are no fasteners on the body, and it will not be very convenient to carry such additional weight! But the sound quality compensates for this shortcoming! Backlight. At first, constantly changing LGBT colors strained. But seriously, the backlight, although not needed, is an advantage, it glows very beautifully when it is dark in the room or on the street! Moreover, the backlight really adapts to the style of the music and looks enchanting! By ear - it cuts off the lower sound range by 80-90% of the volume, so absolutely everyone has it and this is not critical, this is the protection of the speaker and power circuits.
- Great sound, beautiful lighting, well-made software and firmware! Removed an annoying feature when the speaker became quieter depending on the percentage of charge!
- Due to the fact that it does not have any handles and straps, with its weight it is quite problematic to carry it with you! At maximum volume, the bass becomes a little less than at medium.
- View; Build quality, materials; Sound (for this format, of course); Ease of use (speed, application *, on / off from the phone when powered by a zaradnik); Color music (I did not expect it from myself!); Charging from USB (not only from your own unit), power bank; Audio input
- Small button punches, you need to do larger ones - look at JBL; * The application is stupid in places, but it's easy to tighten up (hello to the developers - we are waiting for the ate!), However, it is there and some things are quite there :) Loops for carrying (belt) would probably be appropriate; Price: for 15 kr., however, you can buy good bookshelves
- General sound picture Juicy bass Long working time
- The weight
- Backlight, I can’t say that the sound is excellent, it shows itself well only on some compositions
- Price, weight, no strap
- Sound, lighting, technical solutions.
- Weight, poor processing of codecs from the TV.
