amazon SONY XB-43 reviews

To end the series of reviews of Sony eXtra Bass speakers 2020, we will come to the ‘big brother’ XB-43. That is a big speaker, that’s why the people I recommend buying it to use are also special!

Right from the box, we have felt the ‘terror’ of this speaker already. To bring it home, I have to use a large plastic bag, not to put it in my bag! Carrying the XB-43 is also a rather arduous journey.

Unlike low-end products that only have a charging cord, the XB-43 comes with a combo cord and charging dock, including an adapter.

And this is our speaker for today. Overall, it has the same design as the junior XB-33, but the size is a godsend! If I were to estimate, I would say the volume of this speaker must be 150% to 180% more than the XB-33, which is huge.

Not only big, but this speaker is also really heavy. With a weight of up to 2.9 pounds, this speaker weighs twice a regular laptop and almost twice the XB-33. ‘Huge’ size and weight, the XB-43 has fairly low mobility, in stark contrast to the XB-23 that we have learned in the past.

The top edge is still the familiar control buttons, no different from the XB-33. The only small difference I found is that the company has placed the NFC module further away from the buttons because the XB-43 has more than enough space to do this.

To compensate for the lack of portability, the XB-43 is equipped with a ‘stator’ of speakers, not just a pair of speakers like lower products. We have two special rectangular X-Balanced Speaker Unit full-range drivers to optimize sound quality. Two tweeter diaphragms to add high range (which is quite worth mentioning because this is not the strong point of these speakers), along with two passive diaphragms we can see on both sides of the speaker body.

We will find two rubber ‘legs’ on the bottom edge, preventing the speaker from rolling away.

The back has a button to connect to the speaker in a pair, a ‘chain’ bar, a button to check the battery status, a USB Type-C charging port, a 3.5mm music port, and a USB-A port to charge other devices. The usage time of the XB-43 is 24 hours, which is unchanged compared to the XB-33. The company may have integrated a larger capacity battery, but the speaker has to ‘carry’ more diaphragms, so the battery life has not increased.

We cannot forget the ‘specialty’ of the XB speakers, which are the LED lights. Next to the speaker body are 2 RGB light strips capable of changing colors, along with two ring-shaped lights for the four speakers inside. The 2 RGB LEDs on the side are not bigger than the XB-33, but the speaker is bigger, so it looks quite small compared to the speaker if the company can make it bigger.

This speaker retains the IP67 water and dust resistance that Sony equips all of its speakers this year. The company also confidently says that if users dirty the speaker, they can wash the speaker under the faucet, saying that this speaker can withstand a lot, we can safely use it anywhere.

Usable anywhere will be the same thing that can be said about the XB-43’s sound reproduction. That is one of the most powerful ‘portable’ speakers I’ve ever tried; when used at home, I never increased the volume by more than 30%. If the speaker is too loud (threshold 50 – 60%), I can even hear the sound of the glass window vibrating to the beat of the music; it’s terrible!

The bass of the XB-43 can only be described with the word ‘super awesome.’ This speaker produces bass that is not only audible to the ears but has enough force to be felt in the chest if the volume is turned up enough. Each beat of the foot drum and bass guitar in Coldplay’s Paradise is like ‘jumping out of the speaker’s body, full of depth and impact of mid-bass. But as mentioned many times in the old speaker lines, the XB-43 with such powerful bass can produce buzzing, resonant sounds that lose detail if left in too narrow places (such as books shelves) or rooms with a lot of glass. It is essential to use the speakers in well-ventilated areas where the bass can show its ‘force.’

Standing next to the bass is quite strong; the singer’s voice of XB-43 will lean back slightly and lean more towards the low-mid part. Jim Croce’s voice in Time in a bottle is very bold and powerful, very powerful like the bass we have learned. Most likely due to the way the speakers are placed further apart, the horizontal thickness of the XB-43 vocalist is better than that of the XB-33; we have a ‘stereo’ feeling, although only a little.

I can be happy to announce that thanks to the addition of tweeters dedicated to the high range, the XB-43 has a brighter high-mid and treble part. Of course, these two bands still can’t stand out with the bass and low-mid range, not equal to the LG XBoom GO (with brighter overall sound quality). Still, it is already an upgrade point compared to other mid-range speakers, making the sound quality balanced and leaning toward neutral rather than dark.

Sony XB-43 can be a speaker for those who “played to the end,” who do not want to buy lower range products. This speaker has an extremely large capacity, can comfortably play music in any large environment, even places with a loud noise.

But with that said, the extremely large weight and size make this speaker quite portable, you can’t put it in your backpack and carry it around, and if you try, you will get neck fatigue after a day’s work. Therefore, this speaker will be recommended for fans of eXtra Bass speakers but will use the speaker at home more than take it out on the street, or those who have a car for outings, when carrying Carrying speakers is no longer a problem.
