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.

    Love this speaker! We use it by our pool and the feature to push a button on the speaker and be able to answer my cell phone is a big plus! We also use it everyday in our bathroom when we are showering and getting ready for the day.

    Originally bought to listen to music at work, where I wear hearing protection along with noise from large machinery. When next to me at max volume I can usually hear it. Battery life is actually quite good, from fully charged and max volume I've used it continually for 6 hrs and during my lunch break I'll charge it back up to close to max for around that half hour

    This speaker has a great sound and is loud enough for a large room or outside area. The lights aren't really necessary but they add a little flare when playing music. It connected with Bluetooth and hasn't needed to be reconnected since the beginning.

    Solid sound, in my opinion better than the charge 4. Only issue, bought this one to pair with another one I have, same model. Sometimes they link together and sometimes they don’t. Definitely a Sony software issue. Using the Sony app helps sometimes to link them but not always. If using just as a single unit it works well and sounds good. Water and dust proof is a plus.

    The versatility is the main selling point with this speaker. It's very durable and seems like it could take a beating, and the sound is pretty decent. The level of bass isn't spectacular, but is definitely good enough for a small speaker and better than some others I looked at. The only drawback is that it's bluetooth-only. You cannot directly plug it into another output device like a PC.
