The first thing you will notice about the Sony XB40 is the amount of sound it can produce in such a small size. Outside in an unconfined area that has no walls or houses, the Sony XB40 can truly reproduce my favorite music without a flaw. We generally run the speaker a few notches off its maximum because it tends to shake and rattle too much!
Operating the Sony is simple and it is very responsive to button pressing. For example, turn on the speaker with a Bluetooth paired phone playing music nearby and it will blast out your song in about 3 seconds. I noticed the Sony XB40 was is also much smaller in size compared to the G-Project G-Boom speaker we have been using outdoors. The compact design saves room in my backsack for other outdoors equipment.
We use a LG C900 cellphone to store and play music via Bluetooth. The phone has about a 10 hour battery life and will run out if we camp overnight. The integrated charge port on the Sony-XB40 wireless speaker solves this problem instantly.
Battery life of stereo Bluetooth speaker with LG C900 phone charging is approximately 20 hours 12 minutes. We gathered this from 3 different full charge and recharge cycles on the this product. We played the music about 75% power every time.
Finally and most important, the multiple flashing lights on the Sony-XB40 are my favorite feature! They are pleasing to watch from a distance and seem to give me an extra boost while working out in the forest.
In conclusion, amongst our crew of outdoor adventurers the Sony XB40 portable Bluetooth speaker is the best such system we have ever seen or used. We want two of these so we can blast out our favorite songs in all directions while enjoying our day in the forests of Louisiana!
Now compared to the XB41.
I'm actually liking the XB40 more than the XB41. I find the XB41 not as loud or as strong bass as the XB40. XB41 has a longer battery life. the speaker placement on it is nice and it looks nice but the sound and bass is not good as the XB40. It is all up to preference. This is just another review and I'm not a professional also my hearing might not be as good as yours.
Overall XB40 is a good portable speaker for its price. It is loud, full of bass, and it is nice.

another awesome feature is that you can charge your phone or tablet for the device
only issue I have had with the speaker is my Bluetooth will stop working and play from my phone but still be connected to the speaker but turning off the and back on fixes this problem
