Sony SRS-XB21

amazon Sony SRS-XB21 reviews

Design

The eXtra bass line is highly homogeneous, so the XB21 looks very similar to the two high-end models. But in fact, this speaker is compact and much lighter. Today’s test version is blue, looking very young, new.

Behind there is a plastic gate with thick rubber gasket, which includes buttons for pairing with other speakers, a reset button, a micro USB charging port and a 3.5mm audio port. Because of its sealed design, the XB21 achieves IP67 water and dust resistance standards, much higher than its predecessor.

The top side is the NFC module for fast connectivity to mobile devices, along with buttons that include: play / pause, volume down, and power button.

The lower the product, the more the company cuts on the LED system. XB31 and XB41 have long strip LEDs, which can change the color according to the user’s preferences. But with the XB21’s “little brother”, the light is small at one point, and only the same color as the speaker, but can not change the color.

For those who are not interested in the ability to ‘illuminate’ the speakers, this will not be too important points, but for anyone who likes this feature in the eXtra Bass line will have to invest more to buy XB31 or XB41.

But one feature that the company did not cut was Party Booster. When turned on, users will be able to tap on the speakers to create sound thanks to the force sensor placed on the product. Thanks to the Sony Music Center software, users can also customize the various sounds for each area, to be creative.

Of course, as mentioned in the review of the XB31 and XB41, the ‘player’ must also have some knowledge of the music, of the beat to produce the music, otherwise it is just a knock.

Sound quality

With a smaller body, the XB21 is also equipped with a smaller size. Therefore, the overall sound quality of this speaker is also neat, with less bass than the two large products.

But, of course, still carry the Sony eXtra Bass so XB21 can not have less bass. The bass volume of the speakers is above average and much more than the portable speakers of the same range in the market. Unlike the XB31 and XB41, the XB21 is more mid-bass than the sub-bass, so the drum sounds in Alison Krauss’s Oh, Atlanta have a shallow, but neat. In general, the bass of this speaker is not bad at all, it is still satisfying the bass-head, but to get the ‘strong bass’, surely the user should buy the XB31 or XB41 would be more reasonable.

Although never the mainstream of the eXtra bass, but mid is always improved through Sony products. The first line of the product is too focused on bass, so the vocalist is often pushed back, lack of vocal so it is uncertain. With this year’s 2018 series, the company has improved this issue. XB21 shows Christy Baron in Thieves in the Temple quite clean, full from bottom to top.

One advantage of XB21 compared to the other two products is the treble band. Due to the subwoofer’s neatness and less volume, the overall sound of the XB21 is quite airy and somewhat brighter. Because of this, treble has more space to play, not to be blurred by other bands. Alexis Cole’s Jonah dice are plentiful, not cut too early, so they are pretty metal. Taking the standard of the Dreamwave Harmony, the XB21 still loses, but compared to the common ground, this speaker is very good at reconstructing the treble strips.
