Ingress protection ratings refer to the level of protection offered by an electrical enclosure, against solids and liquids. In the format of IPXX, 'X' represent a number The first number of the IP rating refers to protection against solids say dust, while the second refers to protection against liquid.
Scoring IP67, the Sony SRS XB23's rating is read as, the first number of 6 denotes that they are completely dust proof, and the second value of 7 means that they are protected against temporary immersion in water under set conditions, say 1 metre for 30 minutes.
In comparison to the Sony SRS XB23, Sony SRS XV900 has a rating of IPX4 meaning that
no data available to specify a protection rating
and that of liquids is that,
Sony SRS XB23 has a higher liquid rating than Sony SRS XV900
Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space taken up by the product's body or, in simpler terms, the space the product occupies. Sony SRS XB23 takes up 1,259.17cm³, it is a good thing to know the space that the speaker occupies just so as to ensure that it will easily fit in the available space next to your other gadgets. Sony SRS XV900's volume is 158,391.2cm³ meaning it
occupies more space than the Sony SRS XB23 with a difference cm³
We consider a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to transport.
A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products. The Sony SRS XV900, at 2,660g
is lighter than the Sony SRS XB23 with a difference g. Commonly a genuine quality system is a little bit heavier than average quality products though If you want to change the position of the soundbar often, then you should opt to purchase a lighter soundbar.
This represents the vertical dimension of a device, Sony SRS XB23 has a height of 76mm. The Sony SRS XV900, at 880mm
is longer in height than the Sony SRS XB23 by 804mm
The width represents the horizontal dimension of a device, Sony SRS XB23 has a width of 218mm. The Sony SRS XV900, at 439mm
is wider than the Sony SRS XB23 by 221mm
The thickness (or depth) of Sony SRS XB23 is 76mm, to know the thickness of the speaker you divide its volume(space occupied) by the surface area( length by width)
Sony SRS XV900 has a thickness of 410mm,
hence thicker than the Sony SRS XB23 by 334mm
The Sony SRS XB23 is dustproof and water-resistant.
A water-resistant device can resist the penetration of water, such as powerful water jets, if it is to be submerged in the water this is usually set to a given depth and for a specific time period. Sony SRS XV900 too is dustproof and water-resistant, this makes both devices water-resistant and dust-resistant, which means that they can prevent water and dust from entering the interior of the devices keeping the interior components safe
Sony SRS XB23 has stereo speakers, devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better listening experience. The driver unit is basically a mini speaker that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone.
Sony SRS XB23 driver unit is 46mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass. A speaker driver is an individual transducer that converts electrical energy to sound waves. Drivers come in different sizes and modes, but generally, you'll find three types: tweeter driver, which handles the high-frequency treble range (above 2,000 Hz), and midrange driver: which handles the midrange frequencies (200 Hz to 2,000 Hz). Woofer driver: handles the low-frequency bass range (below 200 Hz).
Based on the frequencies they handle more drivers may result in better sound quality, Sony SRS XB23 has 2 only.
A passive radiator is a type of driver in speakers that can get extra power and resonance from a speaker system, usually used in smaller speaker systems. This radiator is called passive because it is not powered by electricity but by air pressure found in speaker cones.
The sound vibrations produced by a passive radiator depend on its mass and the size of its enclosure.
It is usually used in combination with a woofer to produce deep, resonant tones that would normally be produced by speakers in large boxes powered by AC. The audio output power of a device is based on the number of speakers and their power in watts Sony SRS XB23 has 20W, this is the amount of power the speakers can be loaded with "comfortably".
A higher audio output power results in louder, clearer sounds though this is not the sole factor determining the device's loudness. To better understand how loud any speaker can get, there are other features to factor in such as sensitivity, sound pressure, etc.
Low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio device reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on the way through. Sony SRS XB23's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass. Sony SRS XV900's lowest frequency is at 20Hz, this implies that
both devices produce equal bass
High frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component reproduces high audible frequencies and if it changes to the signal on the way through.
Sony SRS XB23's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble. Sony SRS XV900's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this means that
both devices produce equal treble
Your speaker's battery life will reduce over time while in use, the battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. Sony SRS XB23's battery life is 12 hours
Sony SRS XV900's battery life is 25 hours.
Each time you recharge your device, it gets a little less listening time. The effect is barely noticeable at first. But over a few years, you may find that your speaker, no longer plays for long like it used to.
It takes 4 hours to fully charge the Sony SRS XB23's battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before using it for the first time or when they have been unused for extended periods. Sony SRS XV900 takes 1.5 hours to fully charge the battery
Sony SRS XB23 has a battery level indicator, an indicator shows you when the device has a low battery.
The battery indicator lights indicate the charging status of your speaker. Sony SRS XV900 too has a battery level indicator, charging indicators allow you to determine the charging state of your speaker, whether fully charged, or the battery is running low. Sony SRS XB23 support multipoint, which allows you to link to more Bluetooth devices and switch between them.

Sony SRS XB23 can be used wirelessly, wireless devices allow users more freedom of movement. The Sony SRS XV900 also can be used wirelessly
Detachable cables are cables that have connectors on both ends. One end goes into your headphone earpieces, while the other end is inserted into an audio source.
Some new headphones, and not just the expensive ones, are coming with detachable cables, Sony SRS XB23 is one of those. With a detachable cable, Sony SRS XV900 too can use alternative cables and if the cable is pulled, it will pop out instead of breaking. Being an industry-standard audio plug, a standard 3.5mm male connector is suitable for use with all MP3 players and computer sound cards.
This means that it is commonly used in stereo headphones to your phone or connecting your phone to an external amplifier, sound bars, your car radio, etc. Sony SRS XB23 has this connector giving it a wider range of connectivity with most of the sound devices out there. All plugs have at least a tip and sleeve with the number of rings that stand as a differentiating factor.
Sony SRS XV900 too has this kind of connector
