Sony SRS XB41 front view of the speaker glowing.
The XB41 Sony Bluetooth speaker is a small to medium power, desktop style unit with plenty of power output to fill a typical room with full sounding tunes.
But what does the power output value a Bluetooth speaker has tell you about it? Firstly, the watt is a measure of the amount of power the speaker draws and outputs. Plus, this metric is a handy comparison measure. E.g. Typically, speakers with more power output tend to play louder than those with less. The ones with greater power cost more, have bigger batteries and chargers, along with larger drivers. They offer greater dynamic range, have a deeper bass response, and stereo versions and offer a bigger soundstage to listeners.
Thus in general, the more powerful the speaker, the better it sounds, even at low volume. You get better clarity due to higher accuracy reproduction of the bass, midrange, and treble portions of the music. More extra power output available could produce less clipping distortion as well. So, the speaker’s output power figure is a primary indicator of speaker quality and performance, and as such, is of great interest to audiophiles and novice listeners alike.
In this case, the Sony XB41, as a battery powered BT speaker, is a moderately hefty model for its size. Its output power can fill a small to mid size room with music. See below for details on its power output.
