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.

    Bought this for using for outside parties and youth baseball games. With all the dirt, rain, and heat, I’ve never had an issue! Wish it was a little louder, but for the size, it is good!

    Got this speaker to replace our very old JBL Flip. Wanted a new JBL Flip but they were all sold out at our local store. The selection was lousy and this was the only equivalent on the shelf. It’s been a good replacement so far. Doesn’t get as loud as our old JBL(Maybe 90% as loud) but it has good tone and decent bass. I’m happy with it so far.

    Love it! So great in all the settings ive put it in, at my desk in the office, in a larger warehouse, or at home, the volume range is perfect to fill any space. The bass is great but not overwhelming. Definitely am not an audiophile and very general consumer, but for me it is the best speaker for my needs. Havent dropped it or spilled on it yet so im curious how it will hold up over the years. I dod test out the range, i went through 3 walls, one of rhem being concrete, and about 100 feet away and it still sounded perfect, only started getting some interference when i added a storage trailer in the mix, but even then it still moatly worked.

    The world is flooded with these types of speakers, from the cheap to the super expensive ones that will also mow your lawn. Professional reviews are all over the map and most consumers will always say my purchase was great. Or was it? All ears are different which makes the selection even harder. So why did I choose Sony? The LDAC connection. I have been using this version of Bluetooth for many many years and besides the solid connection, I found the sound quality more to my liking. My Shure headphones use this as do my Sony Hi-RES players which connected instantaneously to the xb 33. Nice clarity with some oompf but not overpowering the mids as so many bass-heavy speakers do. The lights are fun but not my style. Battery life has been very good with fast recharging. We have enjoyed the clarity of the music presented by this Sony and quickly found a spot in our home for this portable waterproof speaker
