Product details

Enjoy a deeper, richer sound wherever you want with your Extra Bass speaker. The passive radiators work with the 2-way speaker system, optimizing low frequencies and delivering rich bass.
The SRS-XB43 has been designed to reproduce an ideal mix of deep, rich bass and clear, natural vocals. Sony's proprietary X-Balanced Speaker Unit achieves high sound quality and powerful sound pressure levels for a rich, intense and comfortable listening experience. Unlike the circular diaphragm in a conventional speaker unit, the newly developed X-Balanced Speaker Unit in the XB43 features a virtually rectangular diaphragm. The rectangular shape maximises the area of the membrane and increases the sound pressure level for more intense bass. The excursion is reduced while maintaining the sound pressure level. This results in less distortion and voices are reproduced more clearly. The SRS-XB43 offers excellent sound not only because of the X-Balanced Speaker Unit. Inside, it also incorporates a variety of powerful audio technologies. The XB43's two-way speaker system combines a woofer for low to mid frequencies with a tweeter for higher frequencies. The result is exceptionally clear voice reproduction. The lightweight but robust speaker cone is made of MICA-reinforced cellulose (MRC) and, together with the dust cap, makes a significant contribution to the sound quality. The arrangement of the passive radiators on the sides has been optimised to achieve clear bass reproduction. Press the "Live Sound Button" and experience music in a completely new way. The unique three-dimensional sound experience turns every party into a festival. No atmosphere without the right party lighting. The SRS-XB43 features tweeter and speaker lighting and multi-coloured light strips that pulsate to the beat of the music. You can even change the colour of the light rack to suit your mood. More fun with Party Connect: Connect up to 100 compatible wireless speakers via bluetooth and they all dance to the same beat. Set a color pattern or have the lights light up in a circle. The SRS-XB43 is designed with comfort in mind. You can enjoy music whenever and wherever you want without any problems.

Stiftung WarentestBluetooth-Lautsprecher im Test - Die besten Bluetooth-BoxenReleaseAugust 2022

A powerful bass, clearly audible details and a balanced, lively sound - that's what the perfect Bluetooth speaker should sound like. However, good sound quality is not everything: to become a test winner, a speaker should ideally also be easy to use, have a long-lasting battery and offer practical additional functions...
