Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the SRS-XB32 Portable Bluetooth Speaker's exceptional sound quality, impressive battery life, and powerful bass. Many also appreciate its ease of use, attractive lights, and convenient size. While some found the weight a bit substantial and expressed a preference for a different charging port, the positive feedback on sound and battery life outweighs these minor concerns. The speaker's waterproof design is also a frequently praised feature.

    This was exactly what I was looking for. I really like the sound and beautiful lights it displays. I have used it everyday since I purchased it. The fact that it is waterproof makes it a great feature since I do water aerobics.

    While the battery life varies depending on the lighting and extra bass settings, this speaker has excellent sound quality, Bluetooth range, and long battery life as advertised. The phone app that controls the speaker’s more complex settings takes some getting used to and is a little clunky, realized that it does not separate speaker volume from device volume so in order to not lower the volume of your phone you have to lower the volume of the speaker through the app or manually. Still, it’s nice that the extra bass setting can be switched off for sound clarity and battery saving purposes and that the speaker’s light settings can be adjusted or switched off completely. Also, bonus points for having USB ports for charging phones while jamming out! Definitely a recommended buy

      Hi Lisa, we're glad you chose us for your last minute purchase. It is awesome to hear that both you and your boyfriend are enjoying the speaker so much! If you get a chance try out the Sony Music Center App. There you will find even more sound adjustments for tuning the speakers to your liking. One last thing, if you happen to pick one up for yourself, you can pair the 2 speakers together for true left/right channel separation. This is a great way to listen to music with your boyfriend. Thank you for choosing SONY. ~Earl Sony_US

    This is the second srs-xb32 I've purcased. The first one I got for myself and my mother loved it so much I bought one for her. Now we can pair them together and enjoy surround sound when we are outside cooking or hanging out by the pool. They are loud enough on their own but the option to pair them makes them even better. They are heavy and durable and with the geek squad warranty I don't have to worry about them breaking. Not that I think I could break them because I've dropped mine countless times and it's still sounds perfect. Add in the fact that they are dust resistant and waterproof and you have a speaker that's great for everywhere and everything. Highly recommend

      Hi Endo, That is a great gift idea for mom, and I love that you are spending time enjoying them together! It sounds like you have used the "ADD" button to pair the two speakers. In case you have not done so, I recommend giving "Stereo Mode" a try. Pair them with the "ADD" button. After you do that, hold the "ADD" button for 3 seconds it will put them into "stereo" mode for true left/right channel separation. This is a great way to listen to your music tracks! Thank you for choosing SONY. ~Earl Sony_US

    Every other review on here compliments this SONY XB32 speaker for music. But hook this thing up to the switch and truly take your gaming experience to the next level! Together the XB32 alongside the Genki Bluetooth adapter and your switch will never be the same. As far as movies connecting the XB32 to say the Samsung Tab s5e man the movie experience is taken to new heights. Now lets take gaming & movies together another step further with the Genki Covert dock coming soon for the switch and any device using usb C. Now portability is no issue at all. See genkithings for info on Genki, Also anyone looking for cases for this amazing speaker they’re sold on the same day shipping place.

    This Sony Blu-ray speaker was on sale and I had some rewards certificates to use. This purchase was a real bargain for me. It sounds great and I use it in my car all the time to listen to sermons on my phone and audible books. I had become frustrated just using my iPhone, as it never seemed to be loud enough when I was on the highway . It is waterproof and such good quality sound! I am very satisfied with this purchase. And the young man who worked at Best Buy was SO patient and helpful to me. I knew nothing about Bluetooth speakers. If he had not helped me that day, I probably would not have purchased this speaker! Thank you Best Buy for having great employees !

    XB-32, Little In Size, Big in Sound!

    I had a Sony XB-31 and loved it! So, when I saw the XB-32 on sale on Best Buy Deal of the Day for an incredible price, I decided to move up to the bigger brother of the XB-31! The bass is awesome! The sound is richer and I was able to give my daughter the XB-31, which was really a good speaker and it replaced a cheap speaker she thought was pretty good. I’m thrilled with the XB-32, as I live in a tiny home and there is just no room for a large stereo. This fill my home, porch or boat with amazing sound in a compact and reasonably priced speaker! My daughter is very happy with her ‘new’ XB-31 also! A win/win!

    This is my “wake up in the morning” bathroom speaker, and it’s perfectly situated to bring the bass and almost a “surround sound” like effect to whatever music I’m listening to. The app is intuitive and sets up quickly with an iPhone or iPad. I did have to order a wall charger separately, as it only came with a USB charger. Overall, really nicely put together. Haven’t tested the water proof capabilities, but since it’s in the bathroom, that was an important design element. The feature where you can slap it for percussion...well, it’s cute, but not something I’d use beyond the initial novelty aspect. Great speaker at a decent price. Good build quality.

      Hi LadyG, Great! We're glad you like the sound quality and the bass of our product. The SRS-XB32 has 2 sound modes, the EXTRA BASS feature that enhances every beat, and the LIVE SOUND mode which creates a three-dimensional sound experience (think outdoor live concert). Thank you for trusting SONY. ~Earl Sony_US

    The speaker pairs easily with your electronic device. It is loud but can also he set to a reasonable level. The lights that pulse while music is playing adds to it.
