Sony SRS XB32 Review | Should you buy this party speaker?

So summer is coming and you might be looking for a good sound investment for you summer holidays, BBQs and stuff like that. There's a few front runners in this market. Stuff like the ultimate ears, the JBL's and the Bose. Which are all pretty sound when it comes to ruggedness, portability, and audio quality.

With that said that said, the new Sony SRS-XB32 brings a little something different to the table.

Does it extra high ends, extra mids...no it's more bass. Also a pretty cool light array setup.

So this is a little bit of an incremental upgrade to the Sony SRS XB32 from last year's SRS-XB31. The main differences this year is top, back and sides of the device are now covered with a hard shell as opposed to mesh from last year. I've heard people hating on this change. But let's consider what advantages this brings to the device.

Better dust resistance with an IP67 rating. Meaning its more resilient in those sandy/dusty conditions.

The other cool thing is now the led light array wraps round the sides forming this flux capacitor on both sides. Also because of the hard shell, arguably it may help with the acoustics...maybe.

There is another significant upgrade from last year's XB31. It's actually something I spoke about in my review from last year and that's now you can customise the light array using the first able app.

So let's talk about some things that haven't changed. The 48mm drivers and passive radiators are the same & located in the same places. The battery life is the same, it still charges over USB b. It would have been nice to

It still has a 24hr battery life which is very important as you know. Also this is cool. Imagine you down by the beach not a single power supply in sight...and your  phone runs out of power because you've had the BT on all day. It's all good because you can be like...I have the power! Because you have use the Sony SRS-XB32 as a power bank by simply connecting a cable to it's usb port.
