#xb43 #xb43Review #SoundBattle
I'm still rockin the XB40 and I'm thinking of upgrading to the XB43 but gotta admit, I still prefer the XB40 design wise....
me to, did you buy it ? and what do you think of it ?
XB41 still very good, I would choose it 👍
Biggest Upgrade in the Sony SRS-XB speakers history
Xb40 not far off from xb43
@@LokeKQ in terms of overall yeah it's a big step :) USB-C charging, added tweeters, live sound is actually good this time, bass is cleaner and deeper, mids are finally refined and sounding great, it's fine everything you could ask for. I've owned a Xtreme 2 and currently have a XB40 and honestly I always wished that Sony had a real rival to the Xtreme speaker as it's really good. Only issue is the Xtreme 2 doesn't do anything well besides bass and that's only a third of the listening experience. To see the mids and highs shining on the XB43 is really great :) I'm buying this as soon as it's out here in Australia. I was tempted to buy an Xtreme 2 again but after seeing the 43 and listening to it I really think it's going to be great, especially if you dive into the eq and you can easily get some more bass out of this 😁😁
@@GamesWizard Agree.
thats why they skipped xb42 lol
I own the xb 41 I prob won’t upgrade till the xb 44 or 45 since these cost a lot of money but these are all really good speakers
The tweeters make a huge diffrents
You can make the xb41 sound almost the same if u use the equalizer in the app
The tweeters are annoying to the ears. Bass is what matters
FightMang36 lmao that's literally impossible, because even without EQ, the xb41 has unbearable intermodulation distortion. Boosting treble will result in even muddier sound
With pure bass and no tweeters, genres like: classical, rock,metal and some music with huge amount of vocals will sound trashy and non-articulated.
about higher frequencies: just remove the fucking mask on the front. it helps a lottt
I bought Sony xb43 today as a gift for my father, MAN the Xtreme Bass setting of xb43 is epic
Best channel to watch reviews on, this man never misses. It's obvious to see how much work you put into these reviews/videos. Keep it up brother!
Love how you can clearly hear a improvement in every speaker iteration!
XB43 vs Extreme 2! We need it!
Will be coming soon
absolutely
This is gonna make a choice for me which one to buy
I cant wait sony xb43 vs jbl xtreme 2
teufel rockster cross for 250 € will beat the xb43 also:P
In sound quality in my opinion:
1 - XB43
2 - XB40
3 - XB41
The xb41 the worst sound quality speaker here!
The XB41 was downgraded in making somehow. I remember having it nearly two year ago, it was very fine and loud, then gave it to a friend and tried to buy them again a few weeks ago ... I sent them back due to the poor quality, even the Sony logo wasn't the same as before. And it was directly from Sony so no fake possible :D
I hope the XB33 sounds good too, I remember having a blast with the XB30 (Which sounded better than the XB40 at his time)
@@greg2lu I have 2 XB40, 1 XB20, 2 Xtreme 2, 1 Flip 4, 1 Flip 5, 4 Charge 4, 1 PartyBox 100 and about 5 mount's ago i also have XB41, but the quality of sound it it was very bad and i sold it)))
Right now i wanna buy some Boomboxes and maybe 2 XB43 to listen it :)
Check my channel, i compared the PartyBox 100 and GTK-XB7 there.
Xb 41 better battery n louder than the big for nothin xb43
U got it twisted
@@FightMang36 but the sound goes so low at 20% battery
Your recording is superb. Took off my headphones 3 times to make sure my speakers are off. Great review. Those tweeters sold it for me.
The xb40 is a really good speaker. It's a beast. I own it since 2018 and in my country isn't sold anymore and compared to the xb41, xb40 is way better is much bassy and much louder. But xb43 is another level.
I have both and 41 is definitely louder than 40 but 40 is a lot better quality. Try harman kardon
@@cristianorsa1888 xb40 has more bass than xb41
And another weight class too.
I love my xb40, but I unfortunately dropped it and messed up the bass, it cracks. I wish I could replace it/fix it
xb 41 has the top volume mutch high than xb40 but base is diffrent,not in a bad way,xb41 is an upgrade for xb 40 for sure.I broke my xb 41 and i want to know what to buy xb41 or xb43...
I think this may be the first comment I have ever made on TH-cam.
Love the video man. Love your style. Informative, factual, funny and naturally charming.
Thanks for the great video
👍
Let's Agree the Sony SRS XB43 is a Beast..🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My eyes: what is this sh!t
my ears: ill sell my weed for this shit !!🤩
my body: violently rushing to go to Best Buy for the Last one on sale & in stock🤯🥺
@@maximusdominus2826 did u get one?
@@barbar1an_ Yes .My coworkers and I are using it right now actually ! 23/12 /2020 - 7:34 pm
It's okay. Honestly if I adjust the bass setting like 2 units up it sounds the same. Using the xb 42
@@luisloretto4376 Xb42...? Just go home, you drunk 😅
You have the best sony reviews on TH-cam, keep goin :D
I was so excited about this video and I was not disappointed I have a xb41 and I really want a xb43 but I can justify that much money on a speaker that's not backwards compatible. Really good video
Wow! One of the best speaker review i ever saw. I want to buy XB43 and this helped me a lot. Good job man
0:43, 3:40, 7:47 😂😂 I watch your videos 50% because of you, because you are funny, and 50% because of the speakers.
Sony's in the club now! I wanna see how the new Sony speakers will stack up against the upcoming JBL speakers! (Probably the Charge 5 and... Xtreme 3?). Anyway, good video as always!
I owned the xb40 and I love it when the xb41 came out I thought it was missing something.. I did not buy it.. but I will buy a xb43
7:11 man threw it into a river like its nothing 😂😂
I just returned my XB33 and got the XB43. i love it. very heavy compared to the XB33 though. I also like the fact that the 43 still has the audio jack option
xb 33 vs xb 43 is it worth the heavy?
I have two xb41’s. I will get this soon. I purchased the xb33 the other day and think it’s pretty nice but could use a little bit of lower bass. I believe the app has power options where you can make the battery lady shut up.🔋🔨
Mike Hancock do you think the XB 33 is better than the XB 30 ?
Speaker BASS Tester I don’t have a xb30 but I have a xb31 and a xb32 and the xb33 is definitely an improvement with better treble and a cleaner sound stage.
Mike Hancock hows the battery life on the 33
Mike Hancock thanks 🙂
@@mikehancock6280 Thanks for the feedback ! Between XB33 and XB41 which do you prefer ? Loudness is kinda the same or the XB41 is clear winner or tail to tail ?
The 43 smashes both but personally think the 40 sounds better than the 41
I just bought my xtreme 2 about 2 weeks ago. I still might buy this, seems cool. Thanks for the video!
Sony SRS XB43 vs JBL xtreme 2.....
Xb41 is really muffled😂. Xb40 is still worth the money compare to xb41 in my opinion. But if xb43 is cheaper than xb40, just buy it.
Xb43 is about $250 right now... Xb40 is about $110
@@D.Z.A.-kp8lf i hugely prefer the XB40 over the XB41, but XB43 is a new level.
@@kavelab699 yeah the xb41 did not impress me at all when it came out that's why I didn't even buy it
@@D.Z.A.-kp8lf XB33 might solve all that at 150$ Retail price :)

i don't know why but his voice makes me in a good mood
Thank's for the video! A hug from Brazil 🤜🤛
🤗
this was a very great informative video, especially the conclusion at the end. thanks so much for all your hard work.
Thank you very much for the frequency response test, here in Brazil nobody does this type of test, and it is extremely important for anyone who cares about quality
best comparison site
I watched this with my xb43, happy about my choice 👍
I just bought it and I dont have any regrets.
imma buy the 43. bass sounds deep and punchy and at the same time sounds very clear.
I've got the XB 43 and it's better than the jbl xtreme 2 but I'm not sure about the xtreme three, it's insane, I hope in the future sony keeps this setup because I love it 😈
Awesome Review on the XRS 43, now I’m waiting to see the review on the XRS 43 versus JBL Xtreme 2.
Xtreme 2 is bassier but I would pick xb43 over it anyday. Better mid/highs, bt5 means bo delay if ur device has bt 5, u dont need high volume for bass, and for my eye xb43 WITHOUT lights looks a lot better. I have blue one and it looks like a real speaker and nicely blends into everything other than extreme 2 which looks something thta teenagers carry around to annoy people outside
Big THX as everytime. Great work. XB43 is Xtreme 2 Killer for sure. Waiting hard for the comparison from the best speaker tester on YT! 🤗
The higher frequency bass tones sound better and cleaner on the 41, but sometimes sound more muffled or trapped in a cardboard box. The 43 digs deeper, but it sounds messy and/or muddy (less accurate) at times. Hey, I am still rocking a now old school SRS XB3 (because of your positive review back in the day). I think that maybe with some speakers, you might want to do a second or follow-up review after they have done some break-in (my XB3 sounded better after break-in). This might give some models a better shot in terms of SQ, as they might sound too harsh or not quite "right" when brand new. Keep up the excellent content.
Damn those tweeters make a big difference man!
Finally, thanks for the video! I think TH-cam was about to block me due to the amount of times I refreshed the search bar looking for this video the entire weekend haha... I think I'm sold. There's evidently a significant upgrade on the mids/highs quality thanks to the tweeters, which was my main concern and the reason why I returned the XB41 I once had. Only downside is the loudness. When I got the XB41 I thought its size/volume ratio was rather low compared to my previous XB3 (which has, I think, the best ratio in this aspect). Seeing that the XB43 is even bigger but has basically the same volume is somewhat disappointing, but it kind of compensates with its quality. XB33 would also be a great option but as Sony decided to remove the 3.5 audio jack on that one which is what I use to connect it at work, it's a no-go for me. Can't wait for them to arrive to Colombia!
JohnsonPBX same here. 🤣 TH-cam playin’ games.
@@mikehancock6280 Indeed haha! It was desperating, even!
I‘m looking forward to buy the SRS-XB33, will there be a sound test for it?
Yup!
Good! Can’t wait to see it!
Xb23 as well, waiting for your next video
great video , had to decide between the both and the srs-xb43 is even on sale and cheaper than the srs-xb41 atm ! Can't wait to hear the sound live after I pick it up tomorrow. Thanks !
Seriously how many days did your kids slept before making a loud sound test?
Because of the tweeters, XB43 sounds better than XB41. However XB43 is expensive and heavy aprox 3kg for me as a personal point of view. May be others are also looking for XB33 which has latest hardware which may beat XB41 or vice-versa. Make a comparison video on XB33 vs XB41.
PLS BROOOO!!!!!!!!! FLIP 5VS XB 23, CHARGE 4,ANKER MOTION+ VS XB 33, EXTREME 2 VS XB 43!!! PLS BRO!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!
Extreme 2 vs XB 43
My coworkers love my 43 so much I just leave it at work for them to use when I'm off, later someone else got one and now we have 2. Together they sound amazing!
I don’t usually comment on videos but I really think this is a great review helped me massively in making my decision. Thanks DLX
What did you get?
@@Angelowalker. I had the xb40 which was great and then upgraded to the xb43 sound quality is second to none mate
What's disappointing about XB43 is its weight. It's twice as heavy as the previous one and weighs 3kg. It's 1kg heavier than Extreme 3. Compared to the previous one, I think the bass has less hitting sense. I think the addition of Twitter helped him get a sense of hitting.
Wow you can tell there are twitters now, I had the 40, then the 41, very happy with them, now I'm definitely be looking for the 43. Awesome speakers. Thanks for the review!!!
I was expecting bass improvement and it sounds pretty much the same, yes the tweeters make the XB43 sound better, but I dont think is worth the upgrade I will stick to my XB41 for now, plus I tested the XB43 it is sooooo heavy
Please make SRS XB43 vs JBL extreme 2 ..That would be most anticipated and helps in decision making..
Great work, Mate, .. Keep doing the best..Cheers.
Coming over the weekend 🤞
I just picked up my xb43, love it!
Well, the XB43 looks beautiful actually
Thanks for a great review. I'd turn off the lights as I'm blind. This speaker does sound very good. It was fun to hear the different speakers side by side. Thanks again for a great review.
Glad to be of any help 👍
Thanks for the awesome video! I have the XB-41 now and I want to upgrade to either the 43 or 33, not sure. I really love bass so, is there a big difference between the 43 and 33?
43 have much softer bass comparing to 41
I'm so hyped for this speaker, I've been so Keen since they showed it off a couple weeks ago!! I'm curious how it sounds against the Xtreme 2. I used to own literally all the JBL speakers at one point before selling them 😂 only have the XB40 left and definitely am interested in getting the XB43 :) I hope the 43 is better than the Xtreme 2 since they've had time to completely redesign the speaker 😁😁 Sony has better features and overall better value with the app and USB-C charging and just everything seems better this time around :)
The dark sound on Sony’s speaker has gone
I already own the Xb41, but the xb43 sound better. But listen in my headphones the 50 60 hz frequency I fell more robust bass on the xb41, after that the bass on the xb43 it gets a little bit lower but sound a kinda strange. That's my opinion. But the xb43 sound awesome
Tuning the XB-41 in the Sony app makes a huge difference
Thanks for your review, I'll going for the srs xb43 ❤️
Would be nice to have a comparison with the older Sony line, like the srs-x55 that had those tweeter. I tried every new Sony speakers since and they are NO match to the clarity of the srs-x55. Looking forward to test against the xb43!🧐
😯😶 new king is born
FINALLY, THIS MOMENT IS MINE! Man, thank you very much for this review, I am very excited about this new line of speakers. I have the XB-40 already a little old with low-pitched low-pitched vibrations, sounding like vibrating glass, but imperceptible at volumes greater than 50%. About the design, I liked it, not that it is perfect, but it really is very well designed, and much more beautiful in relation to the submarine Xtreme 2. I am your fan, skin brother, I hope everything is fine with you in this difficult time of racism that we are facing. Greetings from Brazil.
Finally Sony, with quality treble. Tweeters are very good
Wow they actually made a decent bluetooth speaker. I wanna see the xb 43 compared to the xtreme 2. The bass has something fishy with it, same with the mids. Idk how to explain it. The upper bass was clearly a concern with the newer XB43
I found it, the Xb 43 almost sounds like it wasn't sealed properly.
If you listen at 13:56 the older XB41's bass is much more deep and hefty, how its supposed to be.
Man, I thought exactly the same. The upper end of the bass was like "hmmm, not convincing", but then on the lower end the XB43 performed way better. Will have to wait until they arrive here and test personally. Regarding mids and highs, however, the XB43 seems to be way better. If that's the case when I test it, then I'm sold.
Im listening through an AIWA Exos 9. The XB43 sounds much cleaner and hits lower. The XB41 did not sound too good, the XB40 might have been more pleasant to listen to, but not as much as XB43.
Nice vid! I like your honest opinion about these speakers! Keep up the good work!
Nice Upgrade.
Xb41 is actually really great it just has a little more depth to it than the xb43 the 43 definitely has higher highs but less depth sucky trade off but you can turn the 43 all the way up with really clear highs
i personally think that sony xb40 is the best

Maybe instead the onyx studio 6!!?!?
Onyx studio 5 would crush them all
@@yowhatsup9909 but it looks like my grandma's bag and the battery life is shit
Can you connect a 43 and a 41 together ?
Older versions still sound a bit more punchy and deeper overall but I do prefer the xb43 and there is an eq
Definitely a big improvement, the xb 41 was a step backwards in my opinion, but this looks like a big step forward from the xb 40 as well.
Cant wait for what you compare this too, great video man
On its own the older xb 41 is great with excellent bass but when compared to the newer xb43 it sounds a bit muffled. didn't know I needed tweeters until now 😭😭😭
Finally!
Yup 😂
Your the most helpful Technology person ever keep doing what you doing bro 👌🏽💜😁
Hey great video here! those tweeters really improved the sound of the 43. Sadly they are not released yet in the UK. Just wondering if the 43 can pair in stereo with another 43? Thanks.
Yeah they can and when are they available in the uk
Thank you so much!!.. 🙂!!..
3:40 there goes the ad.. 😂
🙈
Almost sounds the same to the old models except the highs are boosted thanks to tweeters. I mean the bass sounds the same but the treble is present.
2 speakers of SRS - XB41 and 1 of SRS - XB 43 can be synchronized in a group through Music Center so that the same Music is output
sony srs xb 33 vs sony srs xb 43
You really should make more videos!(btw sale is coming tomorow on amazon and flipkart here in India) since you already own them
and talk about the battery more..
Love the humour!!
Nice video. Can't wait for the battle between the 33 and charge 4. Btw did you ever done a video on the Archeer wooden speaker? Is it better than the charge 4?
DLX Willington. Please compare the JBL extreme 2 vs SRS xb 43. 😁😁
Coming soon
Yeah😎😎
Xb40 is still legend
They should of put a strap like the xtreame 2 on it
感謝你影片的~~讓我有更好的選擇~~~我現在買xp43他的聲音的音質真的不讓我真實~~~~~我比較過jbl的品牌~~～ jbl都是低因部分比較響~~~不過整體的感覺有點含糊的混合了～～～整個音樂廳起來無法感受到其中的細膩度~也就是高音～～～～而xp43在音質上的表現真的讓我愛上他~~~~~也許在低音部分沒有辦法非常亮眼~~但是對於這種近距離聽取的喇叭也相當夠用了~~~加上xp43可以配合手機應用軟體操控燈光變化與聲音變化ˋ~~~是真的科技產品~~~~真的很感謝你的影片~~~~
I just bought like one hour ago the xb41 and thanks this chane I immediately request an upgrade and pay the difference lol thanks for this review just for the tweeter's and in prices is only like 4 bucks due a promotion in the store lol
Great video, great edition, great animations, i really appreciate your work, new subscriptor♥️
XB-43 vs Xtreme 2 and XB-43 vs H/K Studio 6 please..!
Great review! I bought xb43 as loved my sister's xb40. Jesus the xb43 weighs twice as much as the xb40 and is not ergonomically designed to carry easily I mean it weighs 3kg! My sister takes hers on holiday with her but I wouldn't take the xb43! 1.5kg for a bit more mid and treble? 😮
Great insights that I did not hear on other reviews.
The sound is more refined in xb 43 but the bass effects i think same compare to 41.. but its really sad that i cant pair my xb41 with this xb 43...
Thank you for your ultimate review... Just love it.... Tk cr sir
I have the Harmon / Kardon Studio 6, is it worth the upgrade in terms of sound, I know the battery life is better, I am looking for a similar sound as the Harmon Kardon, but more battery life lol
yeah its worth it. the my friend had the Kardon 6 and its real nice but I just got the XB43 and I must say I like it better, longer battery and the light show option aswell.
Nice sound! Really good! Now it was a showdown with JBL Xtreme.
Cheers to the channel
I bought a Sony xb41 (new) one month ago for 99$...Willington,do you think I made a good purchase?
I just purchased the xb41 and 43 to compare them. The xb41 is louder and sounds almost the same, I returned both because for the size of both, neither was very loud, almost comparable to the xb30 in loudness
how is the Xb41 and 43 "almost the same"?
Plzz make comparison between xb 32 and xb 33. And in comparison 43 good in low hz but 41 and 43 is similar
Amazing what you do.. How you are able to present it. I really enjoying it! I thing even explaining non-positives by serious true fun ..
thanks a lot.
Your video helped a lot to me - as I am not expert, but I care, what I am buig usually.
Witch have more bass between xb40 and xb43??
