I've always really like the Sony XB30, and now theres the Sony XB31. The Sony XB31 isn't entirely new but its a much tougher and much more refined Sony XB30. Although both the Sony XB31 and Sony XB30 sound exactly the same, the XB31 looks much better and its much more durable than the out going Sony XB30.

Great vid. You got straight to the point and didn’t add nothing else. That’s the videos I like to see, informational that get straight to the point. Great vid 👍🏽
You can cycle thru sound settings by Holding Down Play+Volume Down Button for 3secs. And you can also activate the drum beating option by quickly double tapping the back side section near the control cover.
Thank you!!!!! I had been trying for a while to pair my xb20 and xb30, finally thanks you!
This is one of my favorite reviews, I now know everything I need to know in little time, without going too fast!
How can someone dislike this review. So awesomely done.
Love the reviews....keep them coming.
Hello nice channel, have you tried comparing these two speakers well? I mean with custom eq and everything? What do you think? Which one sounds better?
Awesome review and comparison👍👌....😆I have last years models...and will surely get these 3 as well🙌...are u getting the 41 for a review and comparison with the xb40🙌
Soo what speakers are the best , it doesnt matter the money , which is better than the other ? I still dont know what to choose from xb40 or xb41 .
Need help guys. Which would u recommend, the xb31 or two jbl flip 4's paired? Which will be louder amd produce better sound quality? Thanks
All I see is people who are mad they have a 30 hating on a the 31

@@darekm6859 Xb30: 2x25W rated drivers, XB31: 2x16W rated drivers. Xb30: 7,2V 4200mah battery Xb31: 7,2V 2700mah battery The Xb31 distorts at max Volume much more than the 30. I own 2xXb31 and wanna switch it to 2x Xb30. The Xb32 has 2xunrated drivers and a 7,4V 2700mah battery. The Bluetooth range got shortened from 30 to 10m.
Great video but how do i connect it to my macbook air? please help!
I think GYMCADDY does a fine job at comparisons and reviews. Ironically I can't just can't manage to watch his videos at more than 15% volume
just found a 41 for 140!!!! Couldn't pass that up🤩 might have to hold off on Xtreme 2 a little longer but man the 31 sold me soooo much I had to do it! Plus even though it sound great on it own I don't want it all by itself! 😅
i have the app and when the light is green is on standard mode when its white its on extra bass
On a limited budget,is it better to buy a xb30 for 75 or a xb31 for 120?
Is it ok that I have Sony,jbl and Sony speakers?
Is it possible to listen music normally under 20% using XB-31? Is it possible to turn off this function which limit volume of music?
My LED on my XB41 cracked. Can I put it in water anyway or this could break the speaker?
Is the flap on the back Strong enough? For tropping it in the water?
I have the xb30and I'd definitely recommend it but I might get the 31 later even just for the twin speaker connect small upgrade ,more rugged and if the app got an update then it would be great
So i work underground and was operating a rockbreaker 2 yrs ago. I Used a xb31 everyday until I lost it underground when I had to cover a shift being the only licenced haul truck operator for a specific unit. Speaker fell out of my bag on a friday and i didnt realize until I got to surface. Today unexpectedly I found the speaker. Looks like it was grazed by a tire. Was rusty around the ports. Turned on with 70% battery left. And the ambient lights all worked. Sound quality lost about 10-15% but just on high bass sounds and only tried it when my phone that was streaming was low on battery. But im still amazed
Will xb30 and xb31 connect in stereo separation left and right
exactly the same sound? Strange! Someone wrote the xb30 sounds mutch clearer not so muffled! Even trough the video the xb30 sound more refined detailed.
How is the directivity of the speaker? Because when you turn the xb30 slightly of axis you already hear the treble dissapear. Is this the same on the xb31?

Hey what about comparision of xb40 and xb41?? I'd like to see it :-D Cause xb41 has smaller speaker 58mm vs 61mm on xb40
sony xb31 is better than sony xb40? they have the same price now and i don't know which i should buy (I only care about the audio quality)
The 21's battery life sux....even with the lights turned off via the app. Did tje battery drain get any better?
Dude I so don't regret buying the 31 m, its feature packed and i l ok ve the new body style! Its officially fighting the charge 3 as my favorite mid sized speaker!

MetroIsHere YT I think I'll admit its surpassed charge 3 in several ways, it sounds so much more like a mini stereo then charge 3, and that heavens for the new body!!! The only thing keeping the charge 3 even remotely close to the 31s performance is its bass it still seems the bit more boomy than a 31
Which portable speaker do you recommend for rock music ?
Hey gym, love the review. It seems to me that the XB-31 has a tiny bit more high-end (noticed the difference when you showed the spectragraph via the Ipad). Could you make out this difference at all? TIA!

How long does xb30 last on full volume play?
Do either of these sound as good as Bose Soundlink mini 2 at low volume? I know the nose sounds great 60-70% over that sound quality goes down
Can they connect to each other. Coz i have an xb30 and im planning to buy xb31? Tyty
Cheers bro helped me make my choice🔥💯
Did they fix the battery problem
What app are you using on the iPad throughout the video?
For the Sony xb30 you can buy a Sony psp USB cable to charge by USB instead of wall adapter
So, NFC in this speaker isn’t working with iPhones?
I got a Sony xb30 but was kinda disappointed with the sound at medium to low volume listening, it just sounds good if I turn the volume up, for me it sounds muffled and muddy, I think I will keep my bose SoundLink Color better and although it has less bass it has better vocals and clarity, I hope the xb31 has improved the sound with its live sound mode
This is pretty funny after watching a few videos my 1st Sony was a 31 and love it btw now I'm about to buy A 30. I bought a 21 and was disappointed and sold it the very next week going to get a 20 in the near future.
hi friend! i have the xb20. in BLUE... its f.... awesome but i have 2 issues ...1) in low battery it drops volume :-( 2) it doesnt charge while play.... (its f.. stupid) so... i m looking the new xb31 for the battery... i was on the xb30 before buying xb20 but the barrel style charger stopped me.... did they fix this issue with charging? do i need specific charger to get this 2 at the same time? LONG LIVE THE XB10
Great review
: I don't care for the lights on either speaker so I'll keep my Sony SRS-XB3 (which I bought January 2017 for $120 Canadian). It's the perfect size to carry around. I got a wine case that's shaped like a tiny guitar case that holds both speaker and charger perfectly. My XB3 never decreases in volume when the battery hits a certain percentage level like both the XB30 & XB31 and it still sounds great !!!
Xb31: great look Xb30: great overall quality
What make the xb41 better than the xtreme? ? ?
just ordered xb31 after watching yr review..😎
In Denmark the xb31 is 20 dollars, and I'm looking for an upgraded speaker from my havit m16 speaker. Would the xb31 be worth it?

And so many features and personal app for adjusting just about everything for the speaker and battery and durability!

If u picked it over the charge u wouldn't be making a bad choice. u cant really go wrong either way

Ramy Elmorsy I referring to my personality favorites lol, I did a mini sound battle with them yesterday and the charge still held it's own for being almost 2 years old ! It still handles bass well compared to the 31 mainly do to the twin radiators, But I love everything going on with the 31 including the stereo separation thanks to the driver placement! Definitely seems like it gets a little louder then the charge 3. I will agree that the 31 is the total package when it comes to mid sized speakers, especially the app EQ actually impacting the sound! U could say that a little Nostalgia for being there since the 1st charge is what's keeping me from naming the 31 my Favorite above all else.🤣 but since I say I have 2 favorites I will say the 31 is probably my 1st of the 2 favorites lol😆
Have the XB40 and its banging..
I personally Like an exposed bass radiator like the JBL Bluetooth speakers.But the XB31 is still no slouch.I also want a Battery indicator light rather than voice prompts

I hate fabric speaker grills - for people interested in this speaker (xb31), I will just say purchase the XB30 - right now the price difference between the two is $58.00. Not worth paying that much extra for a very similar sound. With the savings, purchase a UE Wonderboom along with the XB30.
May I ask what you used to make this video at 60 fps?

I bought a refurbished xb30 about a year ago for $75 and I love it. I was hoping Sony would get rid of the annoying reminder to charge your device when you hit 20% battery and let you keep playing music at a higher volume. I don't why they don't at least give you the option to turn that off.

I compared the XB30 against the XB31(without livesound mode), the sound is nearly the same, i turned extrabass off....treble +6 and bass to the maximum on both speakers and there is no big sound difference. ExtraBass i only activate on high loudness. But i hate this rubber case of the XB30 and guys believe me...after some time this rubber will be like a wet candystick. Overall i got the XB31 for 95€ and for this price it's the better choice. (I sold my XB30 for 89€) micro usb charging (no extra cable), waterproof, nicer design and material of the case ExtraBass can be switched on and off at the XB31 by pressing (Volume -) and (Play) for 3 seconds, Green LED is Standard and White LED is ExtraBass

Why tf did u add the jbl in here
I bought a used xb30. It looks better than xb31 in my opinion. The shape and the lights. I don't like the individualized led look of the lights on the xb31. I also like the rubberized rounded shape. _note_ - the xb30 I got used for $50 came with one of the speakers problematic. If you have an xb30 and notice static or of of the speakers doesn't play, this is a common problem. The left speaker often fails. However there is a youtube video which shows you how to fix this. It cost me about $20 and a half an hour.
