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.

    Purchased two to have the stereo effect. One sounded great, but two full the room with perfect bass and treble. Extremely satisfied with my purchases.

    Oh I absolutely love this speaker its lightweight but packs a punch in the sound, bass is flawless and smooth. I use this when I am wood working so I need it to be louder than what I am doing.
