Customers are saying

Customers recognize the SRS-XB33 speaker's exceptional sound quality, particularly its impressive bass and long battery life. Many appreciate its ease of use, portability, and the inclusion of fun light features, along with its waterproof design. However, some users found the maximum volume insufficient and missed the presence of an auxiliary input. A few also noted that the speaker could be improved in terms of weight and the accompanying app.

    This Sony Bluetooth Portable Speaker sounds great! The audio and music is crystal clear, even when adding extra bass! It's waterproof and the battery last up to 24 hours. This speaker even lights up and you can change the colors.

    OMG!!! WHAT AWESOME SPEAKER! Went to Best Buy For something totally different. I was not planning to buy this speaker. I went down the line listening to all the small Bluetooth speakers. Out of all the other speakers that i tested this one had the best sound quality for the price range. This is on par with the $300+ JBL speaker. BUY it. You’ll thank me later. I work in film/tv industry so i know quality audio speakers.
