I've said it before and I'll say it again this is the most underrated sound comparison RUclips channel! The amount of time and effort you put into the videos shows you're doing it because you love it. Good job Man 👍 i hope your channel get the millions of subscriber that it deserves 👊
Hey thanks a lot for your great review! Pros: 1.U started the video by saying you expected it to be with Google Assistant and actually they did release it in two versions...I bought the SRS-XB402G with Google Voice assistant. 2.Also in this version With Chromecast built-in, you can sync up multiple speakers, so everyone dances to the same beat. 3. Standard - 3.94 ft shock proof-MIL-STD 810 G Method 516.7-Shock. Means it's probably the most durable speaker out there. 4.Streaming Internet music services via WiFi - Such as Google play music/Spotify/Deezer Tidal. It does have this ability. And you don't need to rely on poor Bluetooth audio bitrate. It's actually much better. Cons: 1.No answering call function - it doesn't have this option unfortunately although they could 2.No media buttons controls such as next/previous song? Although u can ass Google to do that for you,sometimes it's annoying.
Hello sorry your comment got blocked from RUclips but I have just approved it. Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it. Yes I later found out that Sony was going to go ahead and release the XB402G but much later in the US. Thanks again for the insight on the XB402G.
@@OCMANMEDIA your very welcome. Found your channel not in purpose. But it really surprised me. Very very different from usual review videos. I hope you can make more and more high level videos. And get more and more subscriber. Cheers.
Thanks for the great detail review as usual. Waiting for the comparison with HK. Just based on this video, the sound quality is not impressive enough and quite muddy. But the design and water proof is very good advantage.
Yeah absolutely true!, I really like what Sony is doing in the design and waterproof department, almost all their speakers look really cool, but they'er still not delivering an exciting sound. lool pretty clear how the comparison with the Onyx might go but we have to see 😁.
this video is excellent production quality. liked and subscribed bro. keep it up. just a quick suggestion: if you could invest into a proper mic to record the audio coming out the speakers then it would make the quality better for people to distinguish the details
Deepak Ubhoo thanks for the comment and feedback, really appreciate it. About the mic pls do you have any suggestion? I’m always working on improving my methods.
@@OCMANMEDIA I'm not an audio expert by any means but depending on budget perhaps you could try a shotgun mic like the rhode ntg2 which can plug directly into your camera or sound recording unit. or even perhaps a Shure SM57. it might be worth asking the question on an audio forum
Deepak Ubhoo That’s ok, thanks for the suggestions I always appreciate it. Rest assured I’m already using a combination of specialist high quality microphones and micing techniques in my videos. Although I have an audio engineering background I’m still open to improvements. I think the video clip in this video may have confused you a bit, let me explain, the audio demo you hear is not coming from the speaker you see in the video, the audio is pre recorded in a controlled environment to capture the speaker as clean as possible to minimise room vibrations. I only use the cinematic video clips for entertainment purposes and the audio is never recorded on camera. My recordings are still not perfect but I improve them every time either by buying higher end mics or acoustic treatments or recording methods etc.
@@OCMANMEDIA ahh okay fair enough! I wouldn't have guessed!!! it's just that when I've seen other review videos for similar products the sound doesn't seem as flat. It might be worth doing 2 sets of recordings. one in a typical environment where most people would use the speakers and one in a sound conditioned environment. anyways bro, good job on the production non the less. hope you get loads of subscribers
I'm not completely sure. I was really expecting the release of the Xb42 but only to find the announcement of the XB402M. Sony never made it clear what they intended with this new entry speaker, we'll have to wait and see what happens next year.
@@OCMANMEDIA I think it might be a new speaker because of its completely different shape than the xb41 and it's a smart speaker, but it seems too small the replace the xb501g.
I'm looking to replace an echo dot and am just looking into these speakers with built in alexa. If I ask the speakers alexa to play music will it play on this speaker as long as it has a wifi connection?
Christopher Harrison yes absolutely, the speaker works excellently like an echo dot. The only thing I noticed is the mics are not as sensitive as an echo dot, so when the music is on high levels you’ll have to speak louder or come closer to the speaker for Alexa to hear you. However thinking about it now the Sony is much bigger and louder than the echo dot so technically it should suffer that effect. It’s not too bad tho, you’ll have to try it and decide.
extreme2 still better how can they still be making portable speakers with the same interiror and no upgrades like tweeters lol and 250 pounds lol too pricey
Ricardo Vazquez your question is quite wide!, you have to give me idea of your budget and speaker size ie large size (party box), medium size, or small speaker (enough to fit in one hand)?
Harman kardon onyx 5 rules! Thank you for Onyx5 video. I buy it and it's sound awesome. And sounds way much better then these Sony! Listening these video through Onyx5 i can here the difference. Tnx!
Fischer Price wouldn't put it's name on this speaker. It's really that bad. the UE Megaboom is about 10x the speaker. and the smallest JVC pill speaker is at least 5x the speaker that this dopey piece of garbage is. I bought this for 60 bucks off of Woot and I still feel like i got screwed.
It's funny I was just thinking about buying that same product when I saw it on Woot. The MSRP is so much higher than the sale price that it's compelling. But I've seen you mentioned that you still feel ripped off on here and I assume that was you on Amazon as well. Strange that has Bluetooth 4.2. does it have micro USB or USB c? Anyway for the same price you could probably buy the W-king d8 or something good from China. Or for a few bucks more the sound core motion boom has plenty of bass.
@@michaelcorcoran8768 power is supplied only by proprietary ac adapter jack. and the unit is essentially a slightly larger alexa unit. ( "hey google" ) if it is unplugged and just "listening" the battery drains in about 24 hours. i have it sitting in a 4x10 small bathroom and can just hear it when taking a shower. it is a pathetic attempt even for a smart speaker. a flip5 is way more speaker and takes up about half the space. i also have the big JBL party box. that thing has some sick headroom!

How to turn on the wifi on this speaker I have the same but no idea how to turn the wifi on. Pls Help
You have to do it via the google home app, or the amazon alexa app based on what version you have.
Love your videos

Dies ist have the WPC Wireless Party Chain?

LIL REX The Rapper thanks for the comment really appreciate it.
Does Alexa work in the Alexa app? Mine doesn’t seem to connect
Thanks
Wallah best sound and bass
Hɑlts Mɑul Kɑnɑke...
so should i buy this or the xb41 ?
Configuration?
Would you recommend it over onyx studio 5 ?
😆 I'm actually working on a new video that will answer that question, just look out for that video in early October.
Alan Seng very much yes has better bass and louder
can sony srs xb420m wireless party chain with or speaker add fuction with sony srs xb41
Can sony ht z9f perform multiroom with sony srs xb402m
Is it a predecessor to the xb41? or to the xb501g?

@@OCMANMEDIA I think it might be a new speaker because of its completely different shape than the xb41 and it's a smart speaker, but it seems too small the replace the xb501g.
@@essentialtech388 Absolutely true!, Probably made to sit inbetween the XB41 and the XB501G
Can you ask alexa to play a song from Spotify, or would you need to play the song from your phone?
Yes you can, as long as you have a spotify account and you have it all setup in the Alexa app.
Xb41 And Xb402M which is better...Please suggest
Shubham Sharma I would go with the XB41, better clarity, multi speaker pairing, strobe light (if you are into that).
I need best smart speaker between 15K to 17K
I would get something from SoundCore.
I can get this new for about $65 right now. Worth it still?
I have this speaker has nice highs and mids, bass is so so I would of bought it for a hundred.
Can I use it with karaoke ??
Sony top forever
How conect alexa setting
How much ?
I don’t see it? I’ve tried finding it in the us but doesn’t exist. Weird ??
It’s is released as XB402G in the us.

Hi friends please tell Alexa app support for this speak to add skills
extreme2 still better
how can they still be making portable speakers with the same interiror and no upgrades like tweeters lol and 250 pounds lol too pricey
Yeah I know, I hope Sony listen to its fans and make something worthy of an upgrade.
What is the best Bluetooth speaker for outdoor
Ricardo Vazquez your question is quite wide!, you have to give me idea of your budget and speaker size ie large size (party box), medium size, or small speaker (enough to fit in one hand)?
In the size of the srsxb402g, which is the loudest for backyard? Thanks
Can you pair these with the other XB? like the xb40
Yarlin la voz sensual Nope, no pairing features
@@OCMANMEDIA ohh man!
Pretty much the same as xb41 and xb40... but with a different shape and higher price.
Yeah very well said.
i just got one 50$
Is this box water save
if you mean the speaker? then the answer if yes it is water proof
All of the box🤔?
Harman kardon onyx 5 rules!
Thank you for Onyx5 video. I buy it and it's sound awesome. And sounds way much better then these Sony! Listening these video through Onyx5 i can here the difference.
