Sony XB33 Bluetooth Speaker
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this for my little brother to replace his XB23. We noticed the XB23 is much louder, but the sound quality from the XB33 is much clearer. My main reason purchasing was its ability to play music while charging. The XB23 doesnt do that. Very satisfied

He likes that it’s small and portable so he can take it wherever he goes, but he really likes that he can crank it up and the bass bumps. Oh and he thinks the lights are “cool”.

Portable, connectable, but a little soft
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If I could choose 3.5 stars, I would. It is better than average, not quite 4 stars. It does everything as expected and is easy to connect to. It isn't very loud. It's decently loud, but not enough for any outdoor event. We had about 50 people gathered for a memorial and people needed to press together to hear the eulogy being given through zoom. The group could hear it, but had to press together. So, again, it is loud but not very loud. For the price, I would expect it to be louder.

Posted .Hi Felix,
Thank you for the 4-star review of your SRSXB23 speaker. We're happy to hear you appreciate the portability and features of the speaker. We value your input and appreciate your feedback. Try playing a different source to confirm the issue. To get the most out of the volume, turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device. You may also try the STEREO PAIR in which 2 SRS-XB33 speakers are required. By connecting 2 speakers via BLUETOOTH connection, you can enjoy a more powerful sound.

Sound Quality is POOR
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery life is fantastic, the lights are cool but the sound is ……Meh meaning it’s not that loud at all. It’s a nice little speaker I use in the Shower after taking it to the beach and being disappointed in the sound quality. For $150 I’m gonna say it’s more like a $89 value feel. The app also is not that great and does very little. I can only say I wish it was louder and had more of a Bass Sound.

Posted .Hi there, thank you for your review.
While we are pleased you are satisfied with the long-lasting battery life and party light function of our XB33, we are sorry if the sound quality of this speaker did not meet your expectations. The XB33 is specifically designed for audio clarity throughout its volume range. This is something our music-loving customers appreciate most. That being said the SRSXB33 also gets very loud for its size and audio precision.
Download the Sony Music Center app, and you can actually fine-tune the sound of your XB33 to your liking. There is a built-in EQ that has 20 points of control for Bass, Midrange, and Treble. You can also change the speaker set up from Mono to Stereo to suit your needs.
Please make sure you fully charge the speaker, especially after it has gone below 10%, and hit the auto volume limiter (designed to keep your speaker safe).
Then Increase the volume level of the wireless speaker and source devices. You may also find different devices will perform better than others, as will different apps due to different audio compression and transmission types.
We appreciate your feedback and thank you for your purchase.
Sincerely,
Romeo
