Although limited by volume and wireless transmission, the upper limit of Bluetooth speaker sound quality is relatively limited, but with the inherent advantages of small size, no need to carry power, wide range of applications, Bluetooth speakers in recent years has become the focus of the traditional speaker market In the product category, many recent "smart audio systems" are also being re-developed based on Bluetooth speakers.
In the current domestic and foreign several well-known speaker manufacturers, including Sony, Bose, JBL, B & O, KEF, innovation, Edifier, etc., almost all introduced excellent Bluetooth speaker products. Among these brands, Sony is almost the most frequent product updater, which leads to Sony's products are often not maintained by Bose and other branded products for several years, but on the other hand, this also allows Sony to be able to New products are equipped with the latest audio technology.
Among Sony's numerous Bluetooth speaker products, the XB series is positioned as a "party" product. The most obvious feature is the emphasis on bass and lighting design. The latest XB series Bluetooth speaker has four products, namely, SRS-XB10, SRS-XB20, SRS-XB30 and SRS-XB40. The positioning of the product is improved with the increase of numbers, but the overall pricing is not in Sony's products. It is very high, the cheapest SRS-XB10 is priced at 399 yuan, and the most expensive SRS-XB40 is priced at 1,499 yuan. We experience the SRS-XB30 in the middle.
Appearance: Round, splash-proof The overall design of the Sony SRS-XB30 is relatively rounded.
The front filter part of the speaker is a technical material, and the back is two pieces of plastic plus a piece of metal (the following is a passive diaphragm).
The plastic cover on the right can be opened and all the interfaces of the entire speaker are here, including a 3.5 mm headphone jack (via a dual 3.5 mm line input analog audio signal), a reset button, a yellow circular charging port, and a standard USB Type-A female port can charge the smartphone after plugging in the data cable.
In the up and down and left and right parts of the speaker, the SRS-XB30 is made of rubber. The left and right sides of the SRS-XB30 also have some textures to facilitate the pick up.
At the top of the fuselage, you can see commonly used control buttons such as switches, volume up/down, play/pause, and answer calls, as well as a special “EXTRA BASS†switch. From the name it can be seen that the function of this button is to turn on the subwoofer , making "moving and playing times" more "moving."
In terms of appearance, the SRS-XB30 is not exactly unique, but there is no obvious place for tweaking. In terms of technology, it reflects Sony's consistently high standards. For a product with a "only" price of $1149 (the price is low for Sony), the appearance of the SRS-XB30 is still quite good.
Marquee, LDAC, NFC, IPX5
Although positioned as a "bang" speaker, "marquee" is naturally indispensable.
Sony added a circle around the speaker of the SRS-XB30 to achieve a gradual lighting effect, and a small lamp was added to each side of the two active speakers. The SRS-XB30 also has a "beat detection technology." Sony said that it has developed a special algorithm that allows the speaker to recognize the beat of the music, and then let the light automatically change with the light bulb, such as when you hear the low frequency rhythm When it's strong, the left and right light bulbs will flash quickly and there will be a sense of stage lighting.
In terms of audio technology, the Sony SRS-XB30 does not have any "tricks." Many of these things are basically there, including NFC fast pairing, IPX5 splash-proof (note that it is not IPX7/IPX8, can not throw bubbles), LDAC.
The transmission bandwidth of LDAC is much higher (990 kbps) than ordinary Bluetooth transmission and can achieve a technology that is significantly better than ordinary Bluetooth audio. However, it should be noted that LDAC requires the support of transmitting equipment. At present, only Sony's mobile phones and players can support it. However, as Google adds support for LDAC in Android O, the number of devices supporting LDAC in the future should be significant. The increase.
It is worth mentioning that, Sony finally replaced the Bluetooth speaker app, from the former reputation of SongPal into a Music Center. Although the functionality has changed little, the overall UI has become more concise and beautiful.
In addition to single use, the SRS-XB30 also supports multiple simultaneous use (Sony calls this function "Wireless Party Chain"), and can connect up to 10 devices via Bluetooth. The 10 devices can also maintain music and lighting effects. Well, this picture is simply not to imagine...
Comparison products: JBL Pulse 2, JBL Charge 3
For comparison purposes, we have compared two products that are similar to the SRS-XB30 positioning. One is JBL Pulse 2, and the other is JBL Charge 3.
Both of the JBL speakers have a cup-based design, but as can be seen from the direction of the JBL logo, Pulse 2 is placed vertically and Charge 3 is placed sideways.
Pulse 2's grille part is made of metal, and the craftsmanship is good. Moreover, Pulse 2 has more than 100 LEDs installed in the grille. The lighting can change with the music. Pulse 2 even has a built-in color sensor that points to a colored object, and Pulse 2 can emit the dynamic effect of the object's color. However, it may be affected by these features, Pulse 2's battery life performance is only about half of the Sony SRS-XB30 and JBL Charge 3, the official maximum life time is 10 hours, while the other two data have 20 hours.
Compared to SRS-XB30 and Pulse 2, JBL Charge 3 does not seem to be "flattering." It does not have a variety of dazzling lighting effects, nor does it have a very stylish design. However, the net of JBL Charge 3 uses a unique fiber woven mesh to match the water repellent treatment of the body. This speaker has IPX7 waterproof and can be soaked in one meter of water for 30 minutes. This waterproof level is other. Two Bluetooth speakers do not have, summer can be fully taken to the pool or the sea to use boldly.
Sound quality
In the internal sounding structure, the two Bluetooth speakers of the JBL are very similar, both using the design of the middle two active units + upper and lower passive diaphragms (see below).
In contrast, the design of the Sony SRS-XB30 is closer to Bose Soundlink Mini and other products. It is equipped with two full-range speaker units on the front, and a track-type passive diaphragm in the middle of the two units. You can see another passive diaphragm for improving the low-frequency feel.
Before talking about sounds, we need to talk about this usage scenario first.
Due to the limitation of the volume, Bluetooth speakers cannot be all-embracing, and they tend to have a good side. What we need to do is select the best products in the corresponding aspects based on our own needs. Take the BeoPlay A1, which is the top ranked product in the geek-recommended product recommendation column “geek recommendationâ€. It is one of the best Bluetooth speakers we have ever heard, especially suitable for listening to human voices. But if you have a large room and want to buy a Bluetooth speaker that sounds good in all positions in the room, the BeoPlay A1 is a bit overwhelmed. At this time, Bose Revolve can sound better and play louder at 360 degrees. Its sound quality is not as good as BeoPlay A1.
Back to these three products, in addition to JBL Charge 3 is more biased outdoor, Sony SRS-XB30 and JBL Pulse 2 are clearly positioned for indoor or outdoor party use (after all, "marquee"). In this case, the resolving power of the sound, the sound field, and the balance of the three frequencies are often not the most important (no one should take these speakers to put "River" or "California Guest House" at the party). On the contrary, whether the volume of the sound is large enough or not, and whether the low frequency is enough (whether it is enough to “time to moveâ€) is even more important.
In terms of volume, the three Bluetooth speakers are quite large and the JBL Charge 3 is a little bigger than the other two, but the volume of the other two should be sufficient. The "EXTRA BASS" function of Sony's SRS-XB30 is more powerful than the other two in terms of whether it is enough to "play times." The bass sense is greater and the dive is better. In contrast, the JBL Pulse 2 is too "regular," and the sound is more analytical and vocal. It doesn't seem to be a vocal style. The performance of Charge 3 is somewhere in between.
Purchase suggestion
The official price of the Sony SRS-XB30 is 1149 yuan, which is relatively low compared to similarly positioned products of other international brands. In addition, we know that Sony speakers often have obvious price concessions (especially e-commerce channels), and SRS-XB30 is currently trading at around RMB 900 on mainstream e-commerce platforms. If you are planning to buy a Bluetooth speaker that has "Moment Times" + "Marquee", the SRS-XB30 is a very worthwhile product to consider recently.
