LAS VEGAS, Jan. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- 5pm PT (CES, Booth #17300) – Sony Electronics announced today the latest additions to the Sony EXTRA BASS™ wireless speaker series. The new SRS-XB41, SRS-XB31, and SRS-XB21 EXTRA BASS™ wireless speakers from Sony end your quest to find your perfect party speaker to compliment any lifestyle. With portability, durability and EXTRA BASS™ sound and LIVE SOUND mode at the forefront, Sony assures you these speakers will provide the ultimate party wherever you go.

"We are excited to bring another round of Sony EXTRA BASS speakers to the party," said Dunja LaRosa, Director, and Head of Mobile Audio Business, Home Entertainment and Sound at Sony Electronics, North America. "The new models build on the EXTRA BASS family to provide users with the deep and punchy bass they love with an exciting synchronized light show to elevate any party scene."

New LIVE SOUND Mode
The sound quality these speakers exert will completely steal the show as they create a 3-dimensional music experience which has the ability to make users feel as if they are in the middle of a music festival with singers performing directly to you. This is due to the new DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and the angled speaker that achieves a LIVE SOUND mode. With the LIVE SOUND mode on, you can feel the sound spreading both vertically and horizontally. These speakers are designed to sustain and focus on "deep bass" & "punch bass" which perfectly exhibits bass heavy music such as the popular music genres of EDM, grime and hip-hop.

All of the lights
With speaker and flashing strobe lighting effects and line light in multiple colors, the XB41 and its fellow models¹ will liven up any atmosphere by adapting to the music you love to make it feel like you are at a festival or in your favorite club. This paired with the realistic sound element means you can create an effortlessly great night.

Customize your party
Let the speaker be the host and entertain friends with the new, playful 'Party Booster' feature. It can be used like an instrument and can detect tapping from 5 different directions thanks to the built-in accelerometer that generates a sound and lighting reaction. This creates a uniting party experience full of interactive opportunities, all you need to do is tap and enjoy!

New Wireless Party Chain
For the first time, Sony speakers can now connect up to 100 compatible (SRS-XB41/31/21) speakers together. You can fill a room or build a wall to create a vast, immersive EXTRA BASS™ sound experience and get all your friends involved.

Durable new features
The new fabric material design, which comes in up to 5 colors, means the speakers are robust and washable, so the odd spillage will never be an issue. They are also water and dust resistant with an IP67 rating, meaning you can enjoy the speakers on the beach, at a pool party or even put them in the mud without worrying about damaging them!

They are wireless and are designed so users can hand carry them wherever you choose. Being so compact with up to a 24 hour² battery life, bring EXTRA BASS™ sound anywhere and the party can carry on all night long. 

The Sony EXTRA BASS™ range has been extended with these three speakers and is better than ever, and made to be more outdoorsy and durable so they can battle the elements of your day-to-day life.
