Sony XB41 EXTRA BASS portable speaker

 

It's a bit of a shame that we're under lockdown, since Sony's XB41 EXTRA BASS portable speaker really calls out for a party.

Decent sound for party or indoors, extra lights, waterproof, strong battery life

Gimmicky features such as drum tapping on the side, LIVE sound not that impressive,

If you are looking for a portable speaker that will keep you company in the house, but has enough oomph to pump out tunes during a house party, Sony’s XB41 EXTRA BASS speaker is a top choice.

MDR-XB41EX

 

I wanted to write this review because I couldn't find any myself before buying these earbuds. I have a pair of the Extra Bass series over-the-ear phones and I was very satisfied with the bass from them, so my first interest when wanting earbuds was the...

Good quality bass, Broad range, Good noise cancellation, Very comfortable

Mids could be a bit better, Somewhat bulky of a design (but it's the driver, not wasted space)
