Older model: the Sony SRS-XB40 (ranked higher, rated 3.4/5). See every Sony XB and ULT generation.
Pros: A rugged IP67 Sony party speaker with a claimed 24 hour battery, LDAC support on some regional models and flashing line lights. It has two 58mm full-range drivers, an aux input, a USB power bank output, Stereo pairing and Party Chain linking of up to 100 speakers. It builds on the Sony SRS-XB40 with full dust and waterproof protection.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so the rating is estimated from reviewer listening comparisons. SoundGuys slightly preferred the Sony SRS-XB40 because the bass is overemphasized and the Live Mode sounds unnatural. It uses Bluetooth 4.2 and one reviewer found the Sony SRS-XB43 cleaner sounding. Battery life falls to a few hours at maximum volume.
