Specifikacije hardvera i dizajn

Sony SRS-XB40 Bluetooth zvučnik je prilično čvrst, a dolazi u tri varijante boja: plavoj, crnoj i crvenoj. Testirali smo crnu varijantu.

Ima veličinu od 10,98" x 3,94" x 4,13" ili 279 x 100 x 105 mm u širinu x visinu x dubinu. Također, težak je 3,31 lbs ili 1,5 kg, što ga čini prilično teškim i manje prenosivim od tradicionalnih Bluetooth zvučnika koje mi pregledan u prošlosti.

Sony SRS-XB40 može se povezati s pametnim telefonima, tabletima, prijenosnim računalima i drugim uređajima putem svog Bluetooth 4.2 čipa s dometom do 32,81 stopa ili 10 metara. Ovaj zvučnik također uključuje NFC podršku^{(NFC support)} , što olakšava uparivanje s drugim uređajima koji podržavaju NFC , kao što je vaš Android pametni telefon.

Sony SRS-XB40 ima ugrađen mikrofon za komunikaciju bez upotrebe ruku, koristan kada želite brzo preuzeti poziv dok koristite zvučnik.

Možete instalirati još jedan Sony SRS-XB40 zvučnik i koristiti dva zvučnika za širi stereo zvuk. Sony se također hvali da možete spojiti do 10 zvučnika putem Bluetootha^(Bluetooth) . Međutim, morate koristiti njegove mobilne aplikacije, sinkronizirati glazbu i rasvjetu na svima, kako biste dobili glasnu zabavu, s obiljem vizualnih efekata.

Što se tiče kvalitete zvuka, Sony SRS-XB40 ima ugrađena dva zvučnika punog raspona, s rasponom frekvencijskog prijenosa između 20 - 20.000 Hz, pri uzorkovanju od 44,1 kHz. Podržani audio kodeci su SBC , AAC i LDAC . Sony SRS-XB40 uključuje značajku Extra Bass koja, kada je omogućena, dvostruki pasivni radijatori rade zajedno s dva zvučnika punog raspona kako bi poboljšali niske tonove, dajući pojačanje basa.

Još jedan vrhunac Sony SRS-XB40 je činjenica da ima mnogo dinamičkih svjetlosnih efekata. Prema zadanim postavkama, njegov Rave efekt je omogućen, ali uz pomoć Sonyjeve^(Sony) mobilne aplikacije možete birati između više od desetak efekata.

Sony se hvali kako je ovaj zvučnik vodootporan IPX5 . Međutim, to ne znači da je potpuno vodootporan. Otporan je samo na prskanje, što znači da radi ako malo pada kiša na njega ili ako voda iz vašeg bazena prska na njega. Neće nastaviti raditi ako ga, na primjer, bacite u svoj bazen.

Sa stražnje strane zvučnika nalazi se zaštitni poklopac. Kada ga skinete, dobivate pristup audio ulazu , gumbu Reset , utičnici za napajanje i USB 2.0 portu za punjenje drugih uređaja poput vašeg pametnog telefona.

Korištenje Sony SRS-XB40 bežičnog prijenosnog Bluetooth zvučnika

Prije nego što u potpunosti upotrijebite zvučnik Sony SRS-XB40 , trebate ga napuniti. Nažalost, ovaj bežični zvučnik ne koristi micro- USB ili USB Type C priključak za punjenje, već vlasnički Sony punjač, ​​što znači da morate ponijeti punjač sa sobom ako putujete i redovito koristite ovaj zvučnik. Međutim, kako biste stvari malo poboljšali, možete koristiti USB priključak na stražnjoj strani zvučnika za punjenje pametnog telefona ili tableta. Na ovaj način nisu vam potrebne dvije utičnice za punjenje dva uređaja.

Nakon što se zvučnik napuni, možete ga upariti putem Bluetootha^(Bluetooth) ili NFC -a s do tri mobilna uređaja. Prilikom uparivanja zvučnika, imajte na umu da je tipka za napajanje ona koja se također koristi za uparivanje. ^(Power)Kratkim pritiskom na njega se zvučnik uključuje i isključuje. Ako pritisnete Power i držite tipku pritisnutu nekoliko sekundi, zvučnik ulazi u način uparivanja.

Još jedna tipka s dvostrukom funkcijom je tipka Extra Bass . Kratkim pritiskom na njega omogućuje se ili onemogućuje dodatna značajka basa. Dugi pritisak na njega uključuje ili isključuje sustav rasvjete, ovisno o tome kakav je bio prije.

Uparili smo Sony SRS-XB40 zvučnik sa Surface Pro 3 sa sustavom Windows 10^{(Windows 10)} , Nexus 6P pametnim telefonom s Androidom 8 ^{(Android 8)} Oreo i Xiaomi Redmi 4A pametnim telefonom s Androidom 6 ^{(Android 6)} Marshmallow . Proces uparivanja radio je bez problema na svim uređajima, a mi smo u trenu mogli koristiti zvučnik. Međutim, personaliziranje iskustva koje dobivate obavlja se samo putem Sonyjevih^(Sony) mobilnih aplikacija, koje su dostupne samo na Androidu^(Android) i iOS-u.

Ako pogledate službenu dokumentaciju za Sony SRS-XB40 , stoji da trebate instalirati mobilne aplikacije SongPa l i Fiestable . Međutim, SongPal je preimenovan u Sony Music Center . Na Androidu ga možete pronaći ovdje^(here) , a iOS- u ovdje^(here) . Fiestable nije samostalna aplikacija, iako bi Sony želio da vjerujete u suprotno. To je dodatak za Sony Music Center . Morate ih instalirati oboje, a Fiestable postaje dio postavki unutar Sony Music Centera^{(Sony Music Center)} .

Uz Sony Music Center možete promijeniti postavke zvuka i osvjetljenja na Sony SRS-XB40 kako biste dobili željeno iskustvo. Također, možete dodati više zvučnika i kreirati audio postavku koju želite.

Čini se da je Fiestable^(Fiestable) uglavnom trik, jer vam omogućuje da ručno promijenite svjetlosne i glazbene efekte dok slušate glazbu na Sony SRS-XB40 . Iako može biti zabavno jednom ili dvaput, njegova privlačnost prilično brzo nestaje i većina korisnika neće koristiti ove značajke.

Testirali smo Android aplikacije i otkrili da su prilično neuglađene. Korisničko sučelje izgleda zastarjelo, a korisnici su prijavili sve vrste čudnih bugova i problema s njima. Iz nekog čudnog razloga, Sony Music Center nije kompatibilan s Xiaomi Redmi 4A i nismo mogli iskoristiti sve značajke Sony SRS-XB40 kada koristimo ovaj pametni telefon. Čini se da su i drugi korisnici imali sličnih problema s drugim pametnim telefonima, što je nažalost.

Što se tiče trajanja baterije, Sony kaže da Sony SRS-XB40 traje do 24 sata. Međutim, ako čitate sitni ispis, to se događa samo ako ugasite rasvjetu. S uključenom rasvjetom imali smo autonomiju koja je varirala između 15 i 16 sati. To je više nego dovoljno za organiziranje duge zabave uz bazen. 🙂

Kad smo već kod svjetlosnih efekata, postoji više od desetak na izbor, a oni su raznoliki. Sigurno ćete pronaći onu u kojoj ćete uživati. Ako želite demo zadanog Rave svjetlosnog efekta, pogledajte video ispod.

Ako ne volite ovakve stvari, uvijek možete isključiti sustav rasvjete na Sony SRS-XB40 .

Najvažnija karakteristika svakog zvučnika je kvaliteta zvuka. U tom smislu, Sony SRS-XB40 ima na umu očitu publiku: mlade ljude koji uživaju u žanrovima hip-hopa i elektronske plesne glazbe, kao što su house, trance, techno, dubstep i tako dalje. Ovaj bežični zvučnik isporučuje kvalitetan zvuk, ali bas je uvijek na čelu svega, posebno kada se uključi značajka Extra Bass . Ako ste audiofil, Sony SRS-XB40 nije za vas, iz perspektive kvalitete zvuka.

Na primjer, kada dodate Extra Bass , dobit ćete visokokvalitetni bas, ali su srednji i visoki zvukovi smanjeni. Glasnoća može postati vrlo glasna, a bas se neće izobličiti čak ni na visokoj razini glasnoće. Vokali ipak imaju manju dubinu nego na drugim zvučnicima.

Također smo koristili Sony SRS-XB40 za hands-free pozive. Primijetili smo da je mikrofon na ovom zvučniku prilično slab. Možete brzo preuzeti poziv i razumjeti osobu s kojom razgovarate. Međutim, s druge strane, vaš će glas zvučati iskrivljeno i puno manje jasno nego kada koristite pametni telefon ili Bluetooth slušalice.

Bežični Sony SRS-XB40 Bluetooth zvučnik nudi dobro audio i svjetlosno iskustvo namijenjenoj publici. Međutim, njegove prateće mobilne aplikacije su neuglađene i potrebno im je nekoliko ažuriranja prije nego što mogu pružiti ugodno korisničko iskustvo.^{(The wireless Sony SRS-XB40 Bluetooth speaker offers a good audio and lighting experience for its intended audience. However, its accompanying mobile apps are unpolished and need several updates before they can be able to provide a pleasant user experience.)}

Verdict

The Sony SRS-XB40 wireless portable Bluetooth speaker is a device with a clear audience in mind: young people, who love bass and flashy colors, who listen to electronic music genres, where the quality of the bass is more important than that of the vocals. If this is what you want, then this Bluetooth speaker delivers. Otherwise, if you are an audiophile or you don't usually listen to the music genres that we mentioned, you should look elsewhere.

Unboxing the Sony SRS-XB40 portable Bluetooth speaker

The Sony SRS-XB40 portable Bluetooth speaker comes in a big white box made of cardboard. On the front, you can see a picture with half of the speaker and, written in big bold letters, "Extra Bass" - one of the main differentiators for this speakers.

On the back side of the box, you can see details of the main specifications of this speaker. We recommend that you read everything carefully because some big statements written in bold are then clarified in the small print, with useful details, which give you a more realistic perspective of what this speaker can offer.

When you unbox everything, you will find the following items: Sony SRS-XB40, its proprietary charger, the warranty, the setup guide and several other leaflets with technical and support information, written in several languages.

Unboxing the Sony SRS-XB40 portable Bluetooth speaker is quick and painless. The packaging doesn't include any extras, only the basics that you need to get the speaker working.

Hardware specifications and design

The Sony SRS-XB40 Bluetooth speaker is quite sturdy, and it comes in three color variants: blue, black and red. We tested the black variant.

It has a size of 10.98" x 3.94" x 4.13" or 279 x 100 x 105 mm in width x height x depth. Also, it weighs 3.31 lbs or 1.5 kg, making it quite heavy and less portable than traditional Bluetooth speakers that we reviewed in the past.

Sony SRS-XB40 can connect to smartphones, tablets, laptops and other devices through its Bluetooth 4.2 chip with a range of up 32.81 feet or 10 meters. This speaker also includes NFC support, making it easy to pair with other NFC enabled devices, like your Android smartphone.

Sony SRS-XB40 has a built-in microphone, for hands-free communication, useful when you want to take a quick call while using the speaker.

You can install another Sony SRS-XB40 speaker and use two speakers for a wider stereo sound. Sony also brags that you can connect up to 10 speakers through Bluetooth. However, you must use its mobile apps, synchronize the music and lighting on all of them, so that you get a loud party, with plenty of visual effects.

Regarding sound quality, Sony SRS-XB40 has two full-range speakers built-in, with a frequency transmission range between 20 - 20,000 Hz, at 44.1 kHz sampling. The supported audio codecs are SBC, AAC, and LDAC. Sony SRS-XB40 includes an Extra Bass feature which, when enabled, dual passive radiators work together with the two full-range speakers to enhance low-end tones, giving the bass a boost.

Another highlight of Sony SRS-XB40 is the fact that it has many dynamic lighting effects. By default, its Rave effect is enabled but, with the help of Sony's mobile app, you can choose from more than a dozen effects.

Sony brags about this speaker being IPX5 water resistant. However, this doesn't mean that it is fully water resistant. It is only splash-proof, meaning that it works if it rains a bit on it, or if some water from your pool splashes on top of it. It will not continue to work if you drop it into your pool, for example.

One the back side of the speaker, there is a protective cover. When you take it off, you get access to an Audio In jack, the Reset button, the power jack and a USB 2.0 port for charging other devices like your smartphone.

Using the Sony SRS-XB40 wireless portable Bluetooth speaker

Before you use the Sony SRS-XB40 speaker fully, you should charge it. Unfortunately, this wireless speaker doesn't use micro-USB or USB Type C port for charging, but a proprietary Sony charger, meaning that you must take the charger with you if you travel and use this speaker regularly. However, to make things slightly better, you can use the USB port on the back of the speaker, to charge your smartphone or a tablet. This way, you don't need two power sockets to charge two devices.

Once the speaker is charged, you can pair it through Bluetooth or NFC with up to three mobile devices. When pairing the speaker, you should keep in mind that the Power button is the one to use for pairing too. A short press on it turns the speaker on and off. If you press Power and keep the button pressed for a couple of seconds, the speaker enters into pairing mode.

Another button with a double function is the Extra Bass button. A short press on it enables or disables the additional bass feature. A long press on it, turns the lighting system on or off, depending on how it was previously.

We paired the Sony SRS-XB40 speaker with a Surface Pro 3 with Windows 10, a Nexus 6P smartphone with Android 8 Oreo, and a Xiaomi Redmi 4A smartphone with Android 6 Marshmallow. The pairing process worked without issues on all devices, and we were able to use the speaker in no time. However, personalizing the experience you get is done only through Sony's mobile apps, which are available only on Android and iOS.

If you look at the official documentation for the Sony SRS-XB40, it says that you need to install the SongPal and Fiestable mobile apps. However, SongPal has been renamed to Sony Music Center. You can find it on Android here and iOS here. Fiestable is not a standalone app, even though Sony would have you believe otherwise. It is a plug-in for Sony Music Center. You need to install them both, and Fiestable becomes a section of settings inside the Sony Music Center.

With Sony Music Center, you can change the audio and lighting settings of the Sony SRS-XB40, so that you get the experience you want. Also, you can add more speakers and create the audio setup that you want.

Fiestable seems to be mostly a gimmick, as it allows you to manually change the lighting and music effects while listening to music on the Sony SRS-XB40. While it may be fun once or twice, its appeal wears off rather fast, and most users won't use these features.

We tested the Android apps, and we found them rather unpolished. The user interface looks dated, and users have reported all kinds of strange bugs and issues with them. For some odd reason, Sony Music Center is not compatible with the Xiaomi Redmi 4A, and we couldn't utilize all the features of the Sony SRS-XB40 when using this smartphone. It seems that other users have had similar problems with other smartphones too, which is unfortunate.

Regarding battery life, Sony says that Sony SRS-XB40 lasts up to 24 hours. However, if you read the fine print, this happens only if you turn off the lighting. With the lighting turned on, we had an autonomy that varied between 15 and 16 hours. It is more than enough to throw a long pool party. 🙂

Speaking of lighting effects, there are more than a dozen to choose from, and they are varied. You will surely find one that you enjoy. If you want a demo of the default Rave lighting effect, see the video below.

If you are not into this kind of thing, you can always turn off the lighting system on the Sony SRS-XB40.

The most important feature of any speaker is the sound quality. In this regard, Sony SRS-XB40 has an obvious audience in mind: young people who enjoy hip-hop and electronic dance music genres, like house, trance, techno, dubstep and so on. This wireless speaker delivers good quality audio, but the bass is always at the forefront of everything, especially when turning on the Extra Bass feature. If you are an audiophile, Sony SRS-XB40 is not for you, from a sound quality perspective.

For example, when you add the Extra Bass, you get high-quality bass, but the mid and high sounds are diminished. The volume can get very loud, and the bass won't distort even when at a high volume level. Vocals though have less depth than on other speakers.

We also used the Sony SRS-XB40 for hands-free calls. We noticed that the microphone on this speaker is rather weak. You can take a quick call and understand the person who you are talking to. However, on the other end, your voice will sound distorted and a lot less clear than when using your smartphone or a Bluetooth headset.

The wireless Sony SRS-XB40 Bluetooth speaker offers a good audio and lighting experience for its intended audience. However, its accompanying mobile apps are unpolished and need several updates before they can be able to provide a pleasant user experience.
