Sony EXTRA BASS™ Portable Bluetooth® Speakers Overview

MEET SONY PORTABLE SPEAKERS

Sony’s portable speakers, including the SRS-XB32, SRS-XB22, and SRS-XB12 can be used indoors and out, providing ample sound for personal listening on the beach, a hike in the forest, or a big backyard party.

Each is waterproof and dustproof, and features EXTRA BASS™ . The two higher end models add angled sound via LIVE SOUND. With battery life ranging from 12 hours up to 24 hours, the speakers will outlast your listening needs.

The XB32, which is exclusive to Best Buy, has multi-colour lights that sync to the beat and a flashing strobe. You can change the colour of the line light that goes around the speaker to suit your mood. The XB22 also has flashing lights that sync to the beat. The XB32 and XB22 have undergone extensive shock testing to make sure each can withstand the inevitable knocks, bumps and scrapes that come with everyday use. The XB12 is ultra-lightweight, making it the perfect travel companion.

Connect up to 100 Sony SRS-XB32s and/or SRS-XB22s (or other compatible Sony Bluetooth speakers) wirelessly to create a party chain, amplifying the sound to cover an even larger area. You can even connect from your mobile devices over Wi-Fi, and control them using Google or Siri assist.

THREE-DIMENSIONAL LISTENING

New DSP technology found in the SRS-XB32 and SRS-XB22 portable speakers from Sony offer angled sound that sends music to a wider area, providing a festival vibe, no matter where you’re listening.

Designed to provide a real three-dimensional listening experience, EXTRA BASS and LIVE SOUND in the aforementioned two models include two passive radiators in each that work with a pair of full-range speakers to enhance low-end tones for a “boost” in sound. Meanwhile, the SRS-XB12 has a monoaural speaker that can enhance low-end tones and boost bass, despite its much smaller size.

Tap the LIVE SOUND button on the XB32 or XB22 to kick in sound with a festival vibe and take your party to a whole new level. Or, as noted, wirelessly connect up to 100 compatible Sony speakers, including the XB32 and XB22, to enhance and widen the soundstage.

LISTEN ANYWHERE

With the Sony SRS-XB32, SRS-XB22, and SRS-XB12, you can listen to tunes virtually anywhere. The IP67 rating means they are waterproof and dustproof, and the SRS-XB32 is also shockproof.

This means you can confidently use them around water, as long as all ports and covers are firmly closed. They can resist a 12.5 liter/minute spray of water from 2.5 metres away for up to 3 minutes.

Take a speaker like the ultra-compact XB12 to the trail or forest, or any (or all!) of them on a camping trip, up to the cottage, or in the city for music listening whenever you want it.

 A BATTERY THAT LASTS

The battery in each of the Sony portable speakers will easily last for a week’s worth of personal listening sessions, or an entire party. The XB12’s battery can run for up to 16 hours per charge, the XB22 for up to 12 hours, and the XB32 for an impressive up to 24 hours per charge.

Battery life is based on use without the lighting, and can, of course, vary depending on circumstance. But nonetheless, you can unplug and listen without worry, packing one in your bag for the beach, bringing it outside by the pool, on campus at school, or while enjoying a picnic in the park.
