    I already have an older Sony Soundbar which still sounds amazing! Sony never really gets their speakers wrong. These smaller speakers really work well in party situations and as a portable speaker. Not too much of a difference between the 2 the XB31 are a bit louder to me, but like you said, the 32 is a lil more crisp! Great video 😎

    I used to have a Sony SRS XB31 but unfortunately it had some problems, after 1 month of normal use ( about once or twice a week) it had bass problems, at high volume it distorted a lot and the battery life was about half an hour at full volume so I took it to warranty. They told me they couldn't repair my speaker and I had to take another one, so I took the XB32, I kinda like XB31 the way it looks better than XB32 but hopefully this one doesn't have the same problem I had with the other one.

I love the look of the 31 but haven't heard the sound(in person) I've heard the sound of the 32 and was quite impressed. Which would you get, I know your opinion in the video is "don't upgrade" but if you had the choice which would you go with?

    If you have to ask if the upgrade is worth it, it's not worth it. My XB31 just broke yesterday, apparently, after hooking an auxiliary cord into it and connecting it to my laptop. I didn't even turn the volume up loud, but apparently it made it where it's stuck in power down mandatory 20% volume mode; you know, what it does when the battery is nearly depleted.

    Sb31 has more bass. The Xb32 has more treble. But you can alter that in the Sony app equaliser. Job done. And yes the Xb31 looks more premium. I pair my 31 with my xb41. Sounds amazing alone or paired. Also the light bars looked thinner on the Xb32 .
