Sony SRS-XB43 Repair

The SRS-XB43 is a wireless, Bluetooth speaker manufactured by SONY in July 2020, making it the newest speaker in Sony's XB lineup. The speaker has an IP67 rating, meaning it is waterproof, dustproof, and saltwater resistant. The SRS-XB43 comes built with dual 0.8-inch tweeters and dual 2.5-by-2.8-inch woofers, all combined to deliver a frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz. The speaker can last up to 24 hours off of a single charge and will last up to 14 hours while its EXTRA BASS™ feature is turned on, sacrificing run time for better sound quality.

The XB43 is currently being sold for around $279.99.

The SRS-XB43 comes in three color options: black, blue, and taupe. The speaker has a tweeter light, a speaker light, and two multi-color line lights that vertically wrap around the right and left edges of the speaker. The speaker's model number is located on the rectangular rubber cap directly opposite the woofers/on the device's back. The XB43 and its predecessor, the SRS-XB33 look very similar to each other but some obvious differences can be used to differentiate the two. The XB43 is more than 2.5 times heavier than the XB33 at 6.4 lbs and is double the volume of the XB33 as well. The XB43 also comes with two tweeters (the white circles beside the woofers) and an auxiliary input, which the XB33 does not include.
