Sony SRS XB41 speaker front view, the party lights are OFF.
We give here factory reset directions for your Sony XB 41 Extra Bass wireless speaker to restore its default factory settings. Factory resetting returns the XB 41 to default fresh-out-of-box state. Plus, it erases any earlier paired Bluetooth device linkage from memory. Clearing this stops this speaker from pairing to any nearby Bluetooth devices. Also, you might factory reset to get it ready for sale or re-gifting, or to stop it from pairing wirelessly with devices you no longer wish it to connect with.
Press and release the Power button for a half-second or so. E.g. Find the Power button as shown in the next picture. It’s the rightmost button in the top buttons panel.
Then, the status light comes on, as shown next.
The speaker may make a ping-pang tone sound when it powers up to signify that is has paired with a device. Or it may make no sound whatsoever if it does not connect. But whether the unit connects or not though, the factory reset routine is the same, as follows.
Find these buttons as shown next. They are both on the top button panel, as we point out in the next picture.
The XB 41 then enters factory reset mode.
Then after a very small pause, the speaker powers OFF, and the status lamp goes dark, as shown next. Note that on the XB 41, there is no power-down sound.
Next, power on the unit again, as detailed in step 1 above.
Note that after factory reset, the XB 41 comes up in discovery mode. The Pairing Mode lamp quickly flashes blue to let you know this. E.g. See this in the next picture.
This is a signal that you may then look for this speaker on a nearby BT device, and pair to it if you so desire.
The factory reset is now done. So you may now sell or gift the speaker safely, or pair it again with your favorite Bluetooth devices.
After a factory reset, the XB 41 no longer connects automatically with any Bluetooth device. So to get auto joining going again, you manually pair it with a device. Then after that, any time that both speaker and that device have Bluetooth turned on, and they’re near to each other, pairing would automatically take place once more.
