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.

      Hi Mason, Wow! Good to know that you like the sound and bass of the XB33 EXTRA BASS Portable Wireless Speaker. You can enjoy up to 24 hours of battery life, which means the SRS-XB33 can party even longer than you can. Even with the lighting on in EXTRA BASS mode, you can party for up to 14 hours. The SRS-XB33 features a speaker light and a multi-color line light that flashes in sync with the beat. You can even change the color of the line light to suit your mood. Thank you for choosing Sony.

    If you are looking for a Bluetooth speaker with great sound quality at a good price, you need to take a look at this one. The appearance is sleek and includes LED lights of alternating hues when in use. The sound will fill a decent sized family room. I especially like the “LIVE” setting which brightens the sound and I have played this speaker for hours on a single charge. It will pair with your phone or laptop quickly and reliably. I am very happy with my purchase.

    This mid-size speaker is just what I wanted for my garage and outside patio. Lights are really cool and customization on the app is amazing. I do wish it was louder since its as loud as your phone allows but its still high on sound. Size is perfect if you plan to take it camping or the beach since its sand, water and shock proof. The xb43 seems just little to big for my purpose but after buying this one I might cop that as well and sync them. Awesome buy

    I am only giving this product 4 stars due to the battery life (I get about 4-6 hours before I get the warning to charge it). But the sound makes up for it. The sound is very good, especially when you customize it through the app. I've had at the pool/beach with no worries. The sales associate stated that it was salt water safe (I had no reason to plunge it into the ocean to confirm; but that was good to know).I will eventually purchase a second one to pair.

      Hi BBShopper,

      Fantastic! We are extremely pleased that you are satisfied with the amazing & customizable sound quality, salt-water resistant feature, and superb performance- that you will purchase another one in the future to pair of our XB33. We truly appreciate your feedback with the battery life. When fully charged, the speaker has an available operating time of about 24 hours when the volume level of the speaker is set to 36, lighting function is set to off, and the sound effect is set to STAMINA. About 14 hours when the volume is set to 35, the lighting function is set to on (factory default settings), and the sound effect is set to EXTRA BASS (factory default settings). And you will get about 4 hours of use when the volume level of the speaker is set to maximum (50), lighting function is set to on (factory default settings), and sound effect is set to EXTRA BASS (factory default settings). The actual performance time may vary due to the volume, songs played, the surrounding temperature, and usage conditions. You may refer to the following link for more details:
