As someone who has heard some of the best Sony speakers, I can say that they really do make the sound experience better. Every note sounds like it’s right there in the room with you because the highs are so clear and crisp. The midranges are very clear, so you can hear details in the music that you might not have heard before. These speakers also sound great when it comes to bass. The bass is deep and thumping, giving your music a whole new depth.
The best part is that these speakers are made to be small and light, so you can listen to music while you’re on the go. They also come with batteries that last a very long time, so you can listen to music for hours on end without having to worry about running out of power.
Given the variety of products offered by Sony, you should always decide where and what you will use the speakers for before moving on to the next step. Home theater systems require a lot of space, while compact wireless speakers are better suited for solo use and intimate gatherings. Different shapes and color combinations are also available for Sony’s top speakers. Below we have mentioned some of the best Sony Speakers.
Best Sony Speakers
Sony GTKXB90
With the unique free bass tones of the famous GTK-XB 90, you can throw an EDM party anywhere. The powerful rechargeable battery allows you to keep playing music even in the absence of power, while the infinite mirror lighting makes the party atmosphere complete. Sony’s three channels of amplified sound are an added bonus for those who want to party without spending too much! The list also includes a full QWERTY keyboard, a touch pad, a headphone jack, a DSD adapter, and a touch-sensitive display.
Sony SRS-XB31
The Sony Music Center application allows you to create groups of synchronized speakers and create a “party chain.” Assuming the other speakers are all Sony brand and compatible, up to ten speakers can be chained together. Unfortunately, unlike the competition, there is no physical way to do this using the buttons on the SRS XB31. You need to use the application, which is a small pity.
Overall, however, the SRS-XB31 sounded pretty good. As the name suggests (and the brand name surrounding the product), the sound signature ends up weighing heavily on the bass. If you are a fan of music that takes advantage of this, you will probably like the sound of this speaker.
Sony XB10 Speaker
Nearby are a micro USB port for the included charging cable, a 3.5 mm auxiliary input for wired listening (cable not included) and a reset button. This section is covered with a cap, which is essential to ensure the speaker’s water resistance. The built-in speakerphone offers mediocre intelligibility. We were able to understand every word recorded, but the overall sound quality was garbled and somewhat muted, like a weak cellular connection.
The speaker has some additional features worth noting: the detachable strap, which can be used to hang the speaker from a hook in the shower or a tree branch, turns into a stand for the speaker when you place it on its side horizontally. You can also pair two of these speakers and use them as stereo speakers for your computer, for example (with the speaker on its side, you get more directional sound).
Sony SRSXB30
A quick press of the “Extra Bass” button greatly increases bass and adds a great bass effect, especially considering the size of this speaker. However, it can make some tracks a bit “muddy” with an overemphasis on bass. A unique feature of this speaker is that you can leave it plugged into a power outlet and it automatically turns on when you start playing music on your phone.
The speaker has a USB port on the back. You can use your own charging cable to plug it into this port and charge your phone while the speaker is on. This obviously shortens the speaker’s battery life, but can be useful if needed. Another unique feature is the ability to pair this Bluetooth speaker with another similar Bluetooth speaker from Sony.
Sony SSCS3
It’s always good to see another company jump into the ring, because more variety and competition generally leads to better products, and the SS-CS3s are certainly a worthy contender in the budget tower speaker niche. The first thing that jumps out at you about these speakers is the absurd frequency response ceiling of 50 kHz. Most speakers rarely exceed half that.
The power specifications are decent for the price and should comfortably fill a small- to medium-sized room. With a 45 Hz response and no built-in subwoofer, those who use them primarily for music might benefit from a separate subwoofer. This is usually the case with budget floorstanding speakers.
Sony SRS-RA3000 360
The Sony SRS-RA3000 is an elegant home speaker with a 360-degree design and an incredible natural soundstage. It features the “Auto Volume” function, which adjusts the volume according to the songs being listened to play them at similar levels. It supports Sony’s “360 Reality Audio” format, and the “Immersive Audio Enhancement” function can be used to create a virtual soundstage.
It has a balanced midrange that ensures the presence of voices and main instruments in the mix. However, it lacks a boomy, full-bodied bass, and the slight emphasis in the treble range can make voices and higher instruments sound dull and veiled.
Sony SRS-XG500 X-Series
The speaker is IP66 certified, which ensures its resistance to dust and water. It also has a thick cover on the back to protect buttons and connectivity ports, including two USB ports, an audio jack, and a quarter-inch port. Also on the back is the “Battery” button, which calls up the speaker to indicate the percentage of battery remaining, and the Party Connect button, which allows you to connect to other compatible Sony speakers for a stereo experience.
The two USB ports can charge devices, but only one can actually connect to a storage device and play music. It lacks a USB Type-C port, but that’s a trade-off for me, as many smartphones today come with Type-C to Type-C or Type-C to Lightning cables, so it makes sense.
Sony SRS-XB13
Compact Bluetooth speakers are easy to carry, making them especially useful for users who want to listen to music or take calls while traveling or outdoors. Sony’s SRS-XB13 fits the bill. This speaker is IP67 rated for dust and water resistance, which means it should be able to withstand a fair amount of exposure to the elements, and you can even rinse it under a running tap or submerge it in water for short periods of time.
The speaker’s controls are located on the side. There are buttons for power, Bluetooth pairing, playback, and volume. The Bluetooth button is used for pairing with source devices and for setting up wireless stereo pairing if you have two Sony SRS-XB13 speakers. The play button plays, pauses and skips tracks and can also be used to answer calls.
Sony SRS-XB23
The Sony SRS-XB23 is a compact Bluetooth speaker with an attractive design and a bone-chilling solution for enhanced bass. If you are looking for a product with the visual appeal of a Bang and Olufsen speaker but with a much lower price tag, this is the product for you.
The Sony SRS-XB23 is a mid-level speaker for those who want high-quality audio on the go. With an attractive appearance and lightweight design, the Sony SRS-XB23 is ideal for those who like to listen to music outdoors or take their speakers with them on hikes.
Sony XB20
The Sony XB20 boasts powerful bass and lots of volume at a fairly low price. It is by no means the best speaker, but it is a good choice if you want something powerful and don’t want to spend a fortune. Although the higher models were clearly superior, the XB20 was still able to create a full-bodied sound that will satisfy most listeners.
If you are looking for something completely waterproof, the JBL Flip 4 produced a similarly low but well-rounded sound and is IPX7 waterproof. The XB20s are a mid-sized model that scored a 7 out of 10 in our portability tests. Weighing 21 ounces, it ranks average in terms of weight.
Sony SRS-XB01
Despite the wording “Extra Bass” in the marketing of this speaker, the bass is lacking. They are not entirely absent and, indeed, bass sounds quite good with this speaker. However, you do not get that satisfying “thump” that you hear in Sony’s larger speakers. The speaker has a battery life of about 6 hours at medium volume.
While it is light, weighing 154 grams, it does not give the impression of being cheap. The speaker is quite solid, with a textured finish and a set of rubberized buttons on top that allow you to play and pause music, answer and end calls, and adjust the volume.
Final Words
The best Sony speakers, which produce big frequencies, deep bass and full midrange, are examined here. These speakers have a long period of continuous playback and produce powerful volume without any distortion. The Sony company creates many electronic devices. Speakers consist of a cone, an iron coil, a magnet and a housing (case).
When the speaker receives electrical input from a device, it sends current through the coil, which moves back and forth. This movement causes the outer cone to vibrate, generating sound waves perceived by the ear.
