Sound worth sharing
The SRS-XB43 wireless speaker blends deep, punchy bass with clear vocals for that signature festival sound. It’s durable and easy to use too – so you and your friends can focus on enjoying the party
Enjoy powerful sound anywhere
Enjoy deep, punchy sound wherever you like with your EXTRA BASS™1 speaker. Dual passive radiators work together with the 2-way speaker system to enhance low-end tones, giving bass a boost.
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 XB43 features an almost rectangular 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 and greater vocal clarity.
Tweeter improves vocal clarity
The XB43’s 2-way speaker system combines a woofer for low to mid-range frequencies with a dedicated tweeter for the higher range frequencies. The result is exceptional vocal clarity.
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 washable and waterproof
With an IP67 rating2, 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 either3.
Long battery life
Up to 24 hours of battery life4 means the SRS-XB43 can party even longer than you can. Even with the lighting on in EXTRA BASS™ mode, you can party for up to 14 hours.5

There’s no fun without party lights. The SRS-XB43 has a tweeter light, a speaker light, and a multi-colour line light that all flash in sync with the beat. You can even change the colour of the line light to suit your mood.
