Smart speakers are all the rage these days but that doesn’t mean the Bluetooth speakers are out of fashion. Sony has proved this fact with its Extra Bass line time and again. Like every year, the 2020 trio of Sony SRS-XB speakers are out and they come with improvements to please you. The SRS-XB23, SRS-XB33 and SRS-XB43 portable speakers are IP67 rated for dustproof, water-resistant, and rustproof aesthetics. All three models come with new drivers that deliver clear punchy sounds at low frequencies. Also, they come with Sony’s Party Connect mode which lets you string together 100 other Sony speakers at a time.
