Sony’s newest wireless speakers in its Extra Bass collection promise to bring the boom to your next home shindig.
There’s nothing worse than hooking up a portable speaker, only for it to lack punch, especially when it comes to outdoor entertaining. Fortunately, Sony’s newest wireless speaker models, the SRS-XB41, SRS-XB31, and SRS-XB21 EXTRA BASS (below), which join the existing Extra Bass line up, combine portability and durability with extra bass power and a Live Sound mode that creates a three-dimensional sound experience designed to make you feel like you’re in the middle of a music festival.

How do these pint-sized speakers do that you might ask? It’s all down to a new Digital Signal Processor that, when combined with an angled speaker, create a unique live sound effect. With this mode on, you can feel the sound spreading both vertically and horizontally. Whatsmore, these speakers are designed to sustain and focus on the deep, punchy bass that’s so crucial to EDM, grime and hip-hop.
The new fabric material design, which comes in five colours, means the new speakers are also robust and…that’s right, washable, so the odd spilt mojito will never be an issue. They’re also waterproof and dustproof with an IP67 rating, meaning you can enjoy the speakers on the beach, at a pool party or even put them in the mud without worrying about damaging them.

If you prefer to make your own music, the speakers also have a playful Party Booster feature that allows them to be played like an instrument; speakers detect tapping from five different directions thanks to a built-in accelerometer that generates a sound and lighting reaction. In fact, the XB41 even features line lights in multiple colours, and speaker and flashing strobe lighting effects, bringing the club to wherever you’re standing.
