Depends on the genre & volume setting. Each has its perks. For clarity it's the 31 at 70% or lower . But for pure bass it's 41all the way. My advice do 2 x 31 & 1 x 41.
Yeah dont know if anyone is aware but there is a app to change the eq on these little guys that actually is pretty good because if you want a crap load of bass then you can adjust that or you can adjust it two whatever you like
I got to demo the XB31 at walmart, i really like the sound quality especially in live mode and it sounded very similar to your video. Thank you. Im going to get the XB31. It just sounds better to me.
DLX Wilington challenge from me.... Take JBL Xtreme with (and later Xtreme 2) Sony Srs xb41 and go outside just like year ago. If you agree with such an idea, leave a thumb up.
d dc don’t just tweak it and it will sound awasome. i have the xb40 and its awasome right know. i boosted bass and treble and slight mid and its awasome
Excellent comparative, I have a Xb31 and I was lacking in desire to buy an Xb41, definitely not worth a trade already in my preferred way "live sound" did better on xb31.
i always write this down, you just need to f*ing tweak the xb40,41 in the songpal app. boost bass and boost treble and slight mid and it will sound awasome and non distrorted.
I have all three, XB41, 31and 21. The bass on the XB31 is on lower volumes comparable to the 41, but on some bass-heavy songs the XB31 starts to distort a little bit (manly on LiveSound Mode and sometimes on XB-Mode). @DLX Willington: Did you hear distortions on the XB31, too?
I want really powerfull sound but maybe if i get the xb41i wont want to bring it with me because of its bigger size... is there a big difference in sound? Is the weight and size difference worth the improvement in bass and loudness? (Btw, the price doesn't matter to me because they're only 20€ appart)
download the right app and the Sony sounds incredibly good! Nice clean base and crisp highs. I have the xb31 and it's a fantastic speaker. The right settings and it is quite loud too for it's size. Love it!
never understood how people dont like the light show accessory on speakers makes the music visual turning it into a full auditory and visual show. which is a way better experience overall. Don't feel like looking at lights turn them off. They do what lightless speakers do plus the option to have a light show. Light speakers are better hands down. Lightless speakers are like going to a concert with all the lights off.
@Anime4 Mii i have yet anyone to argue my statement because it can't be argued. Same thing as the headphone jack argument. " I have a headphone jack, you dont take a nap" - lou unbox therapy I have lights, you don't. Take a nap
Here's the 31 without the covers, but it still works for under $40 on eBay, definitely ordering it to attempt to fit the 48 mm speakers nside my backpack which called "SPEAKER BACKPACK" from Stealth Labs or HYPEPACK (basically one company copied the others design lol) Doing this because the Speakers it came with are a little too... weak, for my tastes.
Hi DLX, I happen to audition xb31 and 41 and I think 31 has a better sound quality. Regarding the looks and feel maybe a little better than the previous but the fabric being used looks cheap.
31 Sound is wayy Better Listen 1:39 But Actually Its More Live on the 41 Side cuz its like The Girl is there singing with a mic right in front of her mouth so more Live yeahh..!!
I ended up with two XB31's based on your reviews. Still holding out for the Beoplay A1 to come out with an upgrade (Beoplay A2?) Still too many complaints about the A1.
DLX willington I’m having a minor issue when I play a 70-85 hz test tons from 50-60 % volume on my xb41 I hear a sound that sounds really bad can you please see if it’s for all xb41’s? Edit anyone with xb41 please try and tell me if it happens when you play a 75 hertz test tone at 60 % volume
Live sound mode sounds better in xb 31. And I prefer balanced sound more. I wonder how xb31 will go against flip 4. I have to make a purchase decision between these two.
Is it true that the Sony extra bass range, when there is little battery drastically reduces the volume? and if so, can I use an external battery to keep the battery on? Thank you
@@Avaphianh If you like listen to EDM of Rap, the XB41 is your guy. If you want to listen pop music on XB41, please switch to Standard mode. Bass: XB41 Pop music: XB31 or XB32
I own true of this song is 31 and they sound but I would like to switch from the live sale two extra base I don’t see it in the instruction and I’m wondering how or if you can make the radio about I think it will help out a lot of people that have the same question
DLX Wilington, can you please let me know from which site will I get the white/silver coloured Sony SRS XB31, as white/silver option is not available in amazon. I look forward to your response. Thank you
I bought my Sony XB31 speaker with reluctance, as it is a Bluetooth speaker and I know they make serious quality sacrifices price per value (not just battery life). Honestly, when I turned it on I was absolutely amazed at how well it sounds. I have heard the JBL's similar offering and it isn't quite as worth it. Glad I chose Sony's.
The battery doesn't last more than 3hrs to Hitech trance music. None of the Bluetooth speakers can pass the Hitech trance test for battery life. Hahahaha! Amazing output, great sound quality, great speaker. Doesn't pass the Hitech trance test! battery life put to the real test.
CKT CHAND It is already available bro. At ₹13990.. But I'll suggest you to go with xb40, better sound in lower price.. I have checked them both. Getting myself one this week.
CKT CHAND It'll be available soon at Amazon, it's already updated in Paytm mall app. In just few days it'll be available at Amazon, Hardly 1 week! But if u want one soon, go to any sony store, it's available there. Hope this helps..
I have the xb41 and I’ve had it for years and it still works like a champ! Great speaker.
Depends on the genre & volume setting. Each has its perks. For clarity it's the 31 at 70% or lower . But for pure bass it's 41all the way. My advice do 2 x 31 & 1 x 41.
Xb31 more treble xb41 more bass. It's the first thing I noticed. U can use eq tho.
Xb31 for me.👍
"...but that's just me and sound is so subjective" ~ i remember this on your other videos.
that's why it sounded familiar 😉 😂
I got the XB31 for my birthday from my wife and it’s just amazing. Just enough for me , the bass the mids the highs are all right on !!!!
@@tobiaskrings8783 which is better?xb 31 0r 32?
Nandu FEEL GOOD 31 for sure

Live sound on xb41 is bad , xb31 sounds way better I agree. I have both too.
👍
I do I may return the xb41 to BESTBUY
Agreed, i almost want a second 31 instead of a 41, the 31 fills a room easy ant like 45%
d dc don’t just tweak it and it will sound awasome. i have the xb40 and its awasome right know. i boosted bass and treble and slight mid and its awasome
Just bought the xb31. What are the main advantages of the xb41 over the xb31?

Hey I was actually watching one of your videos and then this new one came up!
😂
Listening with my Sony SRS XB41
Broly The Legendary Super Saiyan same bro
Listening with my Sony xb21
I am an owner of a xb31 and I can confirm it is a pehnoemenal speaker (especially with more treble, less bass on R&B EQ)
I have all three, XB41, 31and 21. The bass on the XB31 is on lower volumes comparable to the 41, but on some bass-heavy songs the XB31 starts to distort a little bit (manly on LiveSound Mode and sometimes on XB-Mode). @DLX Willington: Did you hear distortions on the XB31, too?

@Ice Inducer Xb31 and 41 are equally loud. Have heard them both in real. The 41 just keeps the bass better.
@Ice Inducer Or maybe you tested the 31 in standard mode
@Ice Inducer I head mine no problem 60 Meters away, not feet.
Please next time u are going to test BASS speaker, play a hip hop, rap song
Agreed
@DLX Willington PLEASE do this ☝️
I don't like the most hiphop and rap songs. Also they are copyrighted.
More like psytrance would show the performance better.
The normal song, JAM Studio - Do You Want Some More
I have 2 x31 and 1 41 and honestly over the last few years i love the quality of the 41 better
download the right app and the Sony sounds incredibly good! Nice clean base and crisp highs. I have the xb31 and it's a fantastic speaker. The right settings and it is quite loud too for it's size. Love it!

I think the Xb31 sounds alot better..I'm glad I got it on sale for $100.. I dont think I'd spend $250 on the Xb41..I'm happy with my Xb31.
Here's the 31 without the covers, but it still works for under $40 on eBay, definitely ordering it to attempt to fit the 48 mm speakers nside my backpack which called "SPEAKER BACKPACK" from Stealth Labs or HYPEPACK (basically one company copied the others design lol)

Sony should have used separate tweeters in XB41. Bass is fine but it’s overpowering mids & highs. Reasons why Xtreme is better than XB41.
even with teeters they would fuck it up. xb90 und xb60 have tweeters and sound muffled as fuck haha
Maurice Frank no i think they should have used smaller tweeters on the xb 60 and 90
31 is a beast
Hi DLX, I happen to audition xb31 and 41 and I think 31 has a better sound quality. Regarding the looks and feel maybe a little better than the previous but the fabric being used looks cheap.
SRS XB41 wins Thanks DLX

Lights are synched
Xb31 clearer sound and louder xb41 deeper bass xb31😍

Edit anyone with xb41 please try and tell me if it happens when you play a 75 hertz test tone at 60 % volume
I like this video but I feel like using music that is more familiar would help alot. These songs are pretty dynamic though
I wish he would use a song with bass
Live sound mode sounds better in xb 31. And I prefer balanced sound more. I wonder how xb31 will go against flip 4. I have to make a purchase decision between these two.
vishal herenz xb31doesnt compete with the flip 4, it competes with the charge 3
okay then let's wait for the soundbattle of jbl charge 3 with the new sony SRS-XB 31. :)
Just get the 31, the main thing the flip 4 has over the 31 is better highs and portability! I actually us both frequently!!!
@@LydonLewisDoUbLeZz no you don't
@@afistfulofpimples1745 haaa ... how would u know lol
thanks, helped me decide which to buy for my kid for xmas
Xb31 is the winner. Sound on XB41 is like those old radios with the tone button fully turn at low.
Still like my xb 41 better because I know how to use the eq setting. If you don't use them clearly it's not gonna sound as good.
CaPtAiN CrUnCh how do u set ur Ed when using live ?
I think xb 41 is better for rap music. WHat's your opinion bro ?
Thank you ! You really help me
Hey, What is the tittle of the song ?1:30
JetAudio app on android with X-Wide sound effect has almost the same sound as the live mode on XB31.
Glad I watched this before I bought one. I was going with the xb41, but now I'll save some money and get the xb31.
the xb31 really does sound bad compared to the xb30
both xb31 and xb30 with extra bass sounds like an xb40 or xb41 without extra bass
Is it true that the Sony extra bass range, when there is little battery drastically reduces the volume? and if so, can I use an external battery to keep the battery on? Thank you
The XB31 is ready to go out of the box. The XB41 sounds muddy out of the box but with proper configuration, it wrecks the XB31.
Does someone know te watts of them both?
XB31 all the way.... I own one myself and the sound it produces it outstanding for this formfactor
yeah 41 louder and more bass
I have a XB41 and a friend of mine has XB31. I have to say that mine sounds a lot better in every way. It makes sense, the XB41 is more pricey...
Xb41 really good bro ??
@@Avaphianh If you like listen to EDM of Rap, the XB41 is your guy.

My head hurts reading this
Can you do 4 xb31 vs 2 xb41
Beautiful top ^^
Xb31 clear and deep
happy that my speaker is kinda epic :)
Can I pair one xb41 with two xb31
Yes with wireless party chain
Can you link 2 xb10 with the xb41 ?
DLX Wilington, can you please let me know from which site will I get the white/silver coloured Sony SRS XB31, as white/silver option is not available in amazon.
I look forward to your response.
Thank you
Dude white/silver colour is not sold in India. Only black, blue and red are the options in XB31.
PLS ! When I charge loudspeaker, can I listen to it or turn it off? eg:xb30 & xb40
I can listen with full volume while charging my xb31 with "Quick charge 3.0" charger
I have sony srs xb31 and xb41
İ ordered xb31 today hope it's not that muffled
Can the xb41 handle bass better at higher volumes than the xb31?
Short answer yes. But 31 sounds basey enough with more trebly clearer sound.
@@andyantonioap all right...thank you
I could upgrade for $22 to the xb41 should I do it?
JBL and Sony should IMPROVE their speakers...
Joep H.
When u turn off the bass- sony is good!

31 best in live mod, 41 in standard mode have best sound

how long the battery lasts at maximum volume to the xb31???
@AlphaBoy17 Thank you Broo!
First song ??
pls make xb41 vs xb33
xb41 hv left right channel separation?
Yes
greetings from Turkey, useful video
Thanks for this video! I bought Sony srs-xb31
Сompare xb40 and xb31, please!:)
Yes, they are at the exact same price at the moment !
Everybody says xb31 is better they say that because they haven’t tried the xb41 on my opinion 41 is the better of sony
The Sound of the Sony XB31 proved to be better and cleaner, Sony XB31 wins.
I think the 41 is better
Me too
Xb41 better for standard and xbass, live mode xb31 is better.
The XB31 distorts at high volume. Big pass.
Yes.....that is why I am returning the xb31 and getting the xb41
Srs41 good
Tengo las dos y me gusta más la xb31 la xb41 se escucha muy guanga
When its available in india... please tell me
CKT CHAND It is already available bro. At ₹13990.. But I'll suggest you to go with xb40, better sound in lower price.. I have checked them both. Getting myself one this week.

CKT CHAND But I'll suggest you to wait till it comes at Amazon coz sellers like Cloudtail and Appario are authorized Sony sellers.
CKT CHAND Though I'll still suggest you to consider for xb40 ☺️
Xb31 has clearity
Tbh speaking off bass the xb31 next to the xb41 is like the jbl clip next to the charge lmao
Dat thing sound flatt af
woooow... xb 31 is a musical speaker, xb41 is... I dont know, the sound is really bad, muffled, junk
Miroslav Borisov you can fix that in THE app.
@@alvingaming8347 no you can't. Chuck it in the bin.
It's better
Io posseggo xb31 è una bomba
Same as last years models...
Xb41 is better
I do agree, the 41 sounds worse, but anyway no sony for me, they have flashing lights, I hate that.
You can turn the lights off completely ;)
U can turn them off once and they will stay off forever lol!
XB 30 :)
XB 41 is better on it extra bass and Live mode.
Next time you test a speaker with LDAC, Use the damn LDAC with FLAC Files, Not low quality MP3 crap files.
2x xb31 with 1x xb41 (stereo mod) vs 2x xb30 with 1x xb40 (stereo mod) pls!!
No don't.
The tuning on these speakers is so weird
Wait wha-
Xb 41 has only bass
i like the xb31 more, the 41 sounds like from a sealed box
Xb31 wins i have it
Xb 41 is won
Okay for that 100$ he must win!!
Won, it definitely are is!
Xb 31 wins
I like xb31 best
this rating of 20-20000 hz is a joke
atleast the Xb41 does. The Xb31 does also, but you can't hear it anyways. (Drivers still moving)
sony xb31 is the best
Please come out from Sony zone!!
