I tested the SRSXB41 in a store today, and I couldn't walk away from it. But I won't buy one until I am convinced which one to get that's similar in sound, size & price. So far, the SRSXB41 impresses me.
Not in a sound comparison video like this one. If you are looking for features, you can watch the review video, am pretty sure I mentioned the bottle opener in that one😂
Malakulous HS Thanks but i returned the xb 41 i dont listen to hip hop and rap i listen to ed sheeran music and jbl has a good bass and really good sound
I have had the JBL Xtreme 1 And the xb41 by Sony😍. The Xtreme 1 gets louder than the Extreme 2🤐 so it's quite obvious the xb41 is going to win in terms of how loud it can get because the xb41 can beat the extreme one , whixh is louder than the xtreme 2. honestly they are both good🖤. Sure the xb41 is louder but the bass is still better on the JBL Xtremes, it just gives you that thump especially at higher volumes even though the Hertz are high on a JBL. the battery is fairly better on the xb41 and the lights grow on you and you start to forget about the passive radiators on the extreme when you have the lights on the xb41💪🏾 . overall both of these are good speakers. here are the pros and cons of both Xb41 41 is louder. Xb41 has 3 sound settings and they are not gimmicks. Xb41 has somewhat customisable lights. The xb41 is lighter. The xb41 has better battery life, the xb41 fits better in bags etc. The xb41 is very rugged, waterproof,dust proof and rust proof, oh and it's more slender, so you can place it upright in bags, also it floats I think. The cons are few but they exist , the xb41 can't reach as high pitch sometimes, the xb41 starts to loose bass the higher the volume. The xb41 has no carrying strap , but it's easy to hold , oh and the app for the speaker, sucks, but it works .. JBL xtremes Jbl xtremes look amazing. They look like they pack a punch and the bass gets you every single time even after years of using it. Jbl has beautiful passive radiators, the jbl2 is waterproof and they are both rugged speakers. The jbls have very underestimated carrying straps, although the jbl xtreme1 strap holders can break after a year or so. And it's awkward to hold with no strap. The jbl connect plus feature works very well, it's amazing, Sony's one sucks. But when it works the lights synchronize. The JBL is heavier The jbl has a very big con in my opinion, which is the fact that it clips at higher volume, therefore you must turn it down 1 to 4 stops depending on how much bass is in the song, this means you are not getting as loud as promised. The jbl battery is not as good as sony. The jbl passive radiators can be damaged by sharp objects, but it's not a big deal, the jbl xtremes passive radiators hit things in your bag sometimes, causing unpleasant noises and you have to re organise everything, without the strap they are hard to hold, the jbls can't charge through normal phone wires, it must be their own charger. Oh and it takes slightly longer to turn on and connect but most of us don't care I would be 100 percent fine with jbl or sony. Just sony is a more well known and trusted company, it just feels of higher quality and more reliable. Although I got to give the bass lovers the jbl. Personally I think JBL fucked up on the X2, the X1 is still amazing, stood the test of time, I just feel like the X2 is too expensive for a little more bass, less loudness, connect plus, and slightly more rugged and waterproof, with a better strap. X1 vs xb41, if you want only 1 speaker🤜🏽🤛🏽 Otherwise get many xtreme 2s. If you read this I hope it helped. You won't be disappointed with anyone of these🔥, just don't be biast. Oh and if you are wondering why to listen to me, I took these speakers out for 10 hours a day, doing flips in the busy city centre almost every day. And I still do💯
It's literally a preference thing their both in the same ballpark but one thing sony is louder has more features it's a better looking speaker and it retails 50 bucks cheaper all that combined gives sony a solid win by default
Brand new, I've never seen the jbl extreme 2 under 299 dollars. Sony goes on sale constantly, i got 2 xb41 at best buy a couple months ago for 139 each. They sound pretty good in person and paired together are great! As of today they are going for 124 dollars at best buy. You can't go wrong at that price
I love both. I'd say if you prefer sound quality, and portability, choose extreme 2, but if you want a cooler looking design, and a louder one, xb41. I'm my opinion is choose the extreme2 because1, it has more bass, and 2, I'm always taking my speakers places, and the extreme has a handy carrying strap. If youre staying around the house id choose xb41.
Xtreme 2 sounds quite better than the XB41, that is clear. It runs with 2 tweeters that put it a step ahead about the frequency response, expecially in the high frequency range. I read lots of comments that said the same things, but nobody take into account the main point: the price. JBL costs almost double the Sony, according to the latest offers on Amazon. That makes the (big) difference and, in my own opinion, it leads XB41 to be above Xtreme2.
Sony mids are better by far but xtreme2 highs are better without eq. Since Sony started the XB line (and they truely mean the name extra bass), they concentrate on bass and mids only not highs by default and this won't change by time but on the other hand it gives good response to eq if you want to increase the highs. I like Sony's overall sound (Extra bass mode) over the Xtreme2
Lol the sony just sounds shit, the treble sizzles a lot plus the artificial bass boost sounds horribly unnatural and undefined. You cant equalize the treble to make it sound better, because at higher volumes your ears will bleed of overkill treble. „WE NEED LOUDNESS SO LETS PUSH TREBLE TO MAX“ The Xtreme 2 sounds way smoother and more controlled. It has better, deeper bass, but lacks mids a bit. But i dont really like that „ssshh sssh“ the mids sometimes make anyway.
ignasviplol1 dude, you are some kind of sony fanboy. The xb41 is far from a good sounding speaker, as it lacks treble (basically sounds muffled) and has an unnatural frequency response. You don‘t even have arguments it‘s better, lol. The Xtreme 2 is a pretty Hi-Fi sounding speaker, as Clavinetjunkie for example said. (And compared, so please look at them before stating such retarded things!) By the way, the Xtreme 2 is louder while retaining more bass. For the price it is a beast, plus it is more portable than the Sony due to the strap.
Sony has deeper sound and good mids but sound a bit muffled and sometimes the bass takes over some of the music in top of that the bass is not very clear and a bit muffled too soo a bit dissapointed:( Jbl has clearer sound and bass but the sound in higher volumes is a little bit harsh (but some of the problems were kinda solved with the filmware update) Conclussion : If u want a speaker to hear more instrumental sounds in lower volume pick the sony but if u want to hear dubstep or this kind of music which has a lot of bass then pick Jbl but becareful not to put the volume too high ;)
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!
when i compared them in real life the xb41 had nice bass and treble(because i used a high quality sound file and sony's audio remastering called clearaudio+) and the JBL sounded extremely flat and muffled no matter how i set up the sound(only the bass was always different)
On JBL - I like the camouflage skin + straps feature + tweeters. I don't like the open radiators + only AC charge. On Sony - I like the light feature + protective mesh all around the speaker + 5V DC charger. I wish to have straps, different skins, bigger radiators and mostly tweeters.
Had a UE megaboom (under warranty) that died on me. Went to Best Buy to grab another one. I stumbled upon the XB41 and it’s and upgraded from the UE in my opinion. It’s loud and the lights are fun and I got $74! Back. Win win.
Both speaker won on their own ways.. I own both of this and soon I will buy JBL Extreme 2 and HK Onyx Studio 5. I just can't stop myself from all this things, they are great! Portable bluetooth speaker is such a great device..
My goodness! I tested the sony xb41 twice this week! Tried the equalizer on the music center and equalizer on my music player. I really wanted it, but man! It just sounds off! I couldn't get it to sound right. What a disappointment. :(
I cant believe that my preordered The extreme to over a month ago now and it Just now shipped yesterday and my XB30 was stolen at work earlier this week so I went ahead and jumped and found in XB41 on a sweet deal both of them are going to get here next week!!! Next week's going to be an awesome week😁😆
FiberCrossFire Just go to eBay type in Sony XB41 and then set the filter from lowest to highest price you should see it they are refurbished units but they should be in good condition 2nd dipity is the seller
Treble on the JBL Extreme 2 sounded a little too prominent and the audio didn't sound as clear as the SONY SRS to me, not sure... I guess it's just different with everyone. Some people said the exact opposite about the JBL Extreme 2.
Remember jbl fans, all JBL speakers have HQ settings, (modes in order) normal, low frequency, mid-range enhancer, then bass reducer. Change the modes by holding down volume up and play\pause for 10 seconds Check it out!!!!
ignasviplol1 oh then its nice. It atleast doesn’t have harsh treble at all and has a nice bass boost for lower volume levels so it sounds full at low levels.
Лучше ХБ40 возьмите и подключите к розетке! Только чтобы подключить её к розетке нужно: 1 поставить её на зарядку, 2 включить, 3 слушать. Если колонка играла то её нужно с зарядкой перезапустить.
В смысле ? У меня 41 -ая то есть надо подключить ее к сети а потом включить . если включённая то перезагрузить ? Да так получается и что от розетки разница будет заметна?
@@rustikchem метот правильный, только вот этот метод перезапуска может включить бафф колонки (с ХБ40 точно работает, с остальными тоже должно). Это из-за защиты Сони в случае с попаданием влаги.
Well. Both are great. But besides better highs on JBL, I believe sony wins. It has better dynamic sound response cause their mids. In some samples (like the first one at 100% volume test) we lost a lot of the music in JBL. I mean, we barely listen to electronic keyboard line on xtreme 2. JBL has a more affordable sound. But sony has more fidelity. Except on highs.
If you hold the - volume and bluetooth buttons at the same time For 10 secs it goes in to mode which is way louder it drops a bit of bass and the volume goes up. When you power the speaker off it goes back to normal mode but you should test it out it really would be cool
Hey Willington can you make comparison between jbl boombox and Harman Kardon omni50+ those 2 are quite expensive.. But I can only buy 1 of them.. Tnx..
ic your device support LDAC, connect with LDAC to XB41 and setting with 88.1hz and 32 bit enabled in developer mode...(eg. note 9) the sound so much better.
My friend also has xb41 like me I bought my about a week ago and he had his for about 6 months and his xb41 has more bass. So my theory is that after long use the radiators gets looser and produce more bass
Jbl need to change the name xtreme. Was hoping to be louder as compared to its segment but no. Looks like i will stick with pulse 3. And if i need something louder then boombox seems a better choice as of now.
Willington , some say the charge4 has better bass than the extreme, but still there's also people sayin the xtreme bass is better than the bass on xb41. Im soo confused,could you please clarify this topic of mine even though im almost a year late makin this comment. Please Mr.Willington
The bass on the charge 4 is clearer making it better sounding but not more powerful. The bass on the xtreme is more powerful sounding because it has a lot of upper bass. Hopefully this helps you
@@DLXWillington if you have samsung S8 or S7 (dk if it works on all androids now) after software update you can sync audio to the device so 50% cell will = 50% speaker and if you change speaker volume using it it will change on cell too
Batalha acirrada em .. Mas acho que a XB41 sai da frente, devido a sua rival Xtreme só de pra usar a sua força máxima quando estiver conectado a energia, fora da tomada o som fica mas baixo e abaixo da sua rival XB41 .. e sinceramente se estamos falando se caixas portáteis, elas devem entregar o máximo de Som estando ou nao conectada na tomada .. e isso a XB41 fez seu dever de casa direitinho.
Hahahahaaha I love the xtreme 2, I don't see Sony doing the ac\dc mode tho, I personally think that's one step ahead than Sony, also jbl's bass is Soo much better
I preferred clear sound and deep bass, in low and high volume. And Sony SRS XB41 can give that requirements plus others features that others speakers don't have 😁✌️
From 4:55 til 5:22, I can hear 2 or 3 more musical instruments from Sony.. than in JBL.

Thats right Sony needs tweeters

xb41 is a better rounded speaker.. plus u can change settings with its equalizer to have even more base mids and treble

Channel Of Souls Tell me What is in your head? For What reason is here that feature??? Lmao 🤦♂️
the sony SRS xb41 does not have two tweeters; there only wide-range speakers and 58 mm speakers 6:55 characteristics have changed
Short answer: Xtreme has better and cleaner bass even without lq mode, but XB41 is louder.
It's so true that bluetooth speakers need to add tweeters for detailed highs. You're among the top of all my reviewers.

Not true man lol sony xb 41 will beat the xtreme 2 in a low frequency test look it up and try it
In the low frequency test. But the bass as far as sound the extreme 2 bass even at max volume is way better than the XB41
The bass of the extreme 2 when playing music hitting lower notes than the xb41 struggles to hit or it's not hitting them at all
I really want the xb41, but I also want the carrying strap
Buy xb41 you can throw it in a backpack, and its not that huge as the xtreme2.
Sony is louder than jbl but jbl has way better sound quality than Sony and the jbl has way more bass!
Truth
@Water Bass Tester xb41 has bad low bass, you xan barely hear it below 40 hz
I have the extreme 2 l got for 60 dollar brand new but Is good sound ,and l have the boombox woaw so beutiful sound
Sony have more mids and jbl it have not. I think sony better for rock, vocal et
Sony xb42 never been ((
Sony is better for rock hip-hop and edm and not a vocalic music. Sony when playing alot of vocals then the sound a littlebit muffled
ic your device support LDAC, connect with LDAC to XB41 and setting with 88.1hz and 32 bit enabled in developer mode...(eg. note 9) the sound so much better.
It sounds like in the xtra bass mode that jbl is holding bass back
Sony 👌🏻👌🏻
What Kinda headphones do you have my guy
You are just a Sony fan. The JBL is most best quality and more deeper than the xb41. Sony sound f**king muffled
DLX considering only the sound quality to hear in the house, which is the clearest and most pleasant bass? Please help me choose.
JBL has a richer, fuller sound. Great video!
Does anyone know the song on 4:55??
When you change from XTREME to XB41 is like a blanket has been removed over the speaker! I think SONY is a clear winner here.
Sony?
AHAHAHAHAH what kind of joke is this HAHAHA, its the other way around mate
@@DreiGuapo my G
My friend also has xb41 like me I bought my about a week ago and he had his for about 6 months and his xb41 has more bass. So my theory is that after long use the radiators gets looser and produce more bass
SONY XB41 🔊🎶
Great review! Any chance you can get your hands on a dockin d fine to compare against xtreme 2?
Jbl need to change the name xtreme.
Was hoping to be louder as compared to its segment but no.
Looks like i will stick with pulse 3.
And if i need something louder then boombox seems a better choice as of now.
Fair enough ✌️

3:50 wtf did a $300 get rekt by a almost half cheaper one
Nope
The XB 41 i have this box too and the XB 40
Willington , some say the charge4 has better bass than the extreme, but still there's also people sayin the xtreme bass is better than the bass on xb41. Im soo confused,could you please clarify this topic of mine even though im almost a year late makin this comment. Please Mr.Willington
The bass on the charge 4 is clearer making it better sounding but not more powerful. The bass on the xtreme is more powerful sounding because it has a lot of upper bass. Hopefully this helps you
Low frequency xtreme 2, vs xb41 :)))
Yeah
Sony Live Sound is better and louder
on the JBL, i hope they will make a indicator it volume state it in, kind a minimizing guessing what volume it is in, it is 100%.... 30%...80%..
I really dought they will do that any time soon but wish they would, because I know what you mean.
@@DLXWillington if you have samsung S8 or S7 (dk if it works on all androids now) after software update you can sync audio to the device so 50% cell will = 50% speaker and if you change speaker volume using it it will change on cell too
Yeah coz Sony flashes when it gets to min vol and max. Which is super helpful
The Xtreme 2 was better in almost every aspect but it’s twice the price of a xb-41. So , the comparison is not really fair.
Anonymous Retail price is very close though.
Xtreme 2 is 300€ and sony xb41 is 220€ in germany so not that big of a difference
DerTechnikKanal in the U.S. the Xtreme 2 is 299$ and the xb-41 is 149$
Sony came out earlier so
The xtreme 2 has better sound but for the 100$ difference, it should be louder from the xb41...
Is it damaging the battery if im playing my xtreme 2 while its charging?
Sony clearer and natural
Batalha acirrada em .. Mas acho que a XB41 sai da frente, devido a sua rival Xtreme só de pra usar a sua força máxima quando estiver conectado a energia, fora da tomada o som fica mas baixo e abaixo da sua rival XB41 .. e sinceramente se estamos falando se caixas portáteis, elas devem entregar o máximo de Som estando ou nao conectada na tomada .. e isso a XB41 fez seu dever de casa direitinho.
Functions, cool factor, loudness - XB-41
Sound quality - Xtreme 2
If by sound quality you mean more highs because the Sony has more and deeper bass and better mids too
@@shaolin95 no it doesn't mate.. the Xtreme 2 has tweeters, the XB41 doesn't.
What is DC mode
I love you Xtreme 2
Love you to 😍
sonito kusa
Standard mode JBL is better, but using the different modes/equalizer Sony is better. Taking price into account, there is no doubt Sony wins.
Hahahahaaha I love the xtreme 2, I don't see Sony doing the ac\dc mode tho, I personally think that's one step ahead than Sony, also jbl's bass is Soo much better
Playing same in ac dc is actually ahead
The only problem in sony is that the volume gets low when the battery is 20% you can't turn it up
For me personally that's actually good. That makes me feel good about the speaker conserving its battery and not letting me drain it for 10secs.
I preferred clear sound and deep bass, in low and high volume. And Sony SRS XB41 can give that requirements plus others features that others speakers don't have 😁✌️
