Features
Enjoy powerful sound anywhere
Enjoy deep, punchy sound wherever you like with your EXTRA BASS™ speaker. Dual passive radiators work together with full-range speakers to enhance low-end tones, giving bass a boost.
Handy, super-portable design
Compact and lightweight, the SRS-XB23 fits perfectly in the cupholder of your camping chair – great for chilling out at open-air festivals. And the convenient strap lets you hang your speaker in your tent or on the nearest tree – wherever you want to share your favourite beats.
X-Balanced Speaker Unit enhances sound quality and power
Developed by Sony, the X-Balanced Speaker Unit achieves high sound quality and powerful sound pressure for a richer, deeper, more rewarding listening experience.
How the X-Balanced Speaker Unit works
Unlike the circular diaphragm in a conventional speaker unit, the newly developed X-Balanced Speaker Unit in the XB23 features a non-circular diaphragm. This not only maximises the area of speaker diaphragm, increasing sound pressure for more punchy bass – it also reduces driver excursion while maintaining the same sound pressure, resulting in less distortion. Meanwhile, the unit’s off-centre design and optimised weight balance help to enhance clarity and widen the sound stage.
Mica Reinforced Cellular speaker cone and dust cap
The rigid and lightweight Mica Reinforced Cellular (MRC) speaker cone and dust cap contribute to the sound quality.
Side passive radiators
The layout of the side passive radiators has been optimised to reproduce clear bass sound.
Totally dustproof
Thanks to the IP67 rating, you can take your speaker to the beach, the forest, the desert, or wherever you like – the SRS-XB23 will keep on playing, no matter how dusty the surface.
Totally washable and waterproof
With an IP67 rating, your speaker is waterproof and salt water resistant – so you’ve no worries using it by the sea or the pool – and there’s no problem washing it either.
Built to last
The SRS-XB23 has undergone extensive shock testing to make sure it can withstand the inevitable knocks, bumps and scrapes that come with everyday use. Even if you drop it, the SRS-XB23 will keep on working.
Long battery life
