Sony - SRSXB43L - EXTRA BASS™ Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Blue

Sony SRS-XB43 | Sound worth sharing

The SRS-XB43 wireless speaker blends deep, punchy bass with clear vocals for that signature festival sound. It’s durable and easy to use too – so you and your friends can focus on enjoying the party.

Enjoy powerful sound anywhere

Enjoy deep, punchy sound wherever you like with your EXTRA BASS™² speaker. Dual passive radiators work together with the 2-way speaker system to enhance low-end tones, giving bass a boost.

Sound

The SRS-XB43 has been engineered to deliver an irresistible blend of deep, resonant bass and clear, natural vocals.

What is the X-Balanced Speaker Unit?

Unlike the circular diaphragm in a conventional speaker unit, the newly developed X-Balanced Speaker Unit in the XB43 features an almost rectangular diaphragm.

What does it do?

The unit's rectangular shape not only maximises the area of speaker diaphragm, increasing sound pressure for more punchy bass – it also reduces driver excursion while maintaining the same sound pressure, resulting in less distortion and greater vocal clarity.

Tweeter improves vocal clarity

The XB43’s 2-way speaker system combines a woofer for low to mid-range frequencies with a dedicated tweeter for the higher range frequencies. The result is exceptional vocal clarity.

Mica Reinforced Cellular speaker cone and dust cap

The rigid and lightweight Mica Reinforced Cellular (MRC) speaker cone and dust cap contributes to the sound quality.

Side passive radiators

The layout of the side passive radiators has been optimised to reproduce clear bass sound.

Hear it like it’s live

Hit the LIVE SOUND button and hear your music in a whole new way. Bring your party to life with a unique three-dimensional sound experience – creating festival vibes wherever you go.

Dustproof, waterproof and washable

With an IP67 rating³, you can take your speaker to the beach, the forest, the desert, or wherever you like – the SRS-XB43 will keep on playing, no matter how dusty the surface. It’s waterproof and salt water resistant too – so you’ve no worries using it by the sea or the pool – and there’s no problem washing it either⁴.

Light up the party

There’s no fun without party lights. The SRS-XB43 has a tweeter light, a speaker light, and a multi-colour line light that all flash in sync with the beat. You can even change the colour of the line light to suit your mood.
