Unkillable speaker
The Sony SRS-XB31 speaker can be easily taken on vacation, to the country house or even to the beach without fear of damage. Sony boasts that the frame and materials are made in Japan and are able to withstand any adversity. According to the passport, we are talking about the IP67 standard, which allows you to immerse the speaker to a metre depth for a period of 30 minutes, or drop it from a height of 1.2 metres.
The sound you don't expect
Two 48mm drivers and a subwoofer are hidden inside the miniature case. Their power is impressive, the speaker easily fills a medium-sized room with sound, creating an excellent stereo effect. But even more impressive is not the volume, but the sound quality. This isn't the first Bluetooth speaker we've tested, and we're constantly amazed at just how loud and clear these little ones can play. The character of the SRS-XB31 is initially neutral, but you can turn it up with an equalizer in the proprietary Sony Music Centre application, or simply select one of the ready-made presets (Standard, Extra Bass and Live Sound). Moreover, these presets change not only the frequency characteristics, but the volume of the sound. For example, with Extra Bass, the speaker sounds powerful and tight, while in Live Sound, on the contrary, the sound opens up and fills the space.
24 hours battery life
Mobility and readiness to work in difficult conditions is confirmed by the fact that the battery holds up to 24 hours (without backlight) and can play the role of a Power bank, recharging a dead smartphone. The SRS-XB31 has built-in LEDs around the perimeter of the body that can flash to the beat of the music, simulating the flashing of a strobe light or the glow of a disco ball hanging from the ceiling. This is a rather nice addition to the speaker itself, which, moreover, does not really affect its final cost. By the way, the price here is at the same level as that of popular models from JBL. And there is an analogue of JBL Connect, which allows you to combine several speakers into one system. Therefore, it is difficult to make an unambiguous choice here, it is better to rely on specific requirements.
