Great sound in a small speaker.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this speaker to use in the back seat of my military jeep, which is not equipped with a radio. The bluetooth function works well, and the speaker puts out great sound.

Don't buy!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker did not last more than a year. The highest volume is lower than a small JBL speaker on the highest volume. The life span isn't worth for its price. I am having to charge it every other time i use it (after owning it for a year) I don't recommend.

Excellent Sound, Great Portable Speaker!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sony SRS-XB33 Bluetooth Speaker is everything you want in a portable speaker, superb sound, easy setup, heftable package, and reasonable controls. It's a little larger than it's predecessor, the XB32, but seems to be much more durable and still very heftable. The sound quality is excellent, especially with 'Live Mode' enabled. Volume is more than enough for a room or backyard, with good clear highs and deep base, enough to boom but without muddying up the sound. Over the last couple of days I've used this with a phone for music, laptop for better movie sound, and a game system. It performed admirably in all cases. There were no problems with pairing or dropping, and there were voice prompts during the process. The Sony Music Center app adds some additional controls over volume, tone, treble, and bass in addition to all the preset controls available by buttons. It does appear that the speaker is capable of multiple connections, in that I was able to use the phone app controls while the speaker was connected to a game computer. Very cool Sony! The lighting can fortunately be disabled, but it does make for some cool effects in the evening out in the yard. I have about 12 hours of total playing time on the speaker and the battery is showing about half depleted, so I'm going to assume that the 24 hr battery life is spot on. There is a button in the power panel that provides a voiced battery level. I did not test the waterproof-ness of the speaker, but it's claimed to be washable, which may be necessary after a few outdoor trips. The one thing I was not able to do was to get the XB33 to either go into either Stereo Connect or Party Connect with the XB32 speaker, but that really wasn't a big deal for me. It may be either a new mode or something that will be enabled in the future. Overall the XB33 is an excellent portable speaker, great sound, build quality, and features. Pricing is quite reasonable, making it an excellent value and highly recommended.

Not for warehouse use
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got to use at desk in a warehouse but can barely hear. Wanted something small to not take up table space to build cabinets but have to be within 5 feet to hear. Anything farther sound gets drowned out. Figured a larger name brand would sound better but did not hold up to expectations.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi Speaker,
We regret to hear that it hasn't lived up to your expectations. Make sure to charge the built-in battery sufficiently. The sound may become low in the following cases. This is not a malfunction:
-When the built-in battery is running low and the CHARGE indicator flashes slowly, while the speaker is being powered by the built-in battery only.
-When the rechargeable built-in battery is running low as a result of long-time use of the speaker at a loud volume even though the speaker was connected to an AC outlet by a USB AC adaptor (commercially available) or to a computer that comes equipped with a USB charging port.
Your environment or surroundings also play a big factor in the overall volume of the speaker. You can take advantage of the sound effects function to tailor-fit the sound quality to your needs:

No regrets
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this after my XB40 (which I loved) fell off my truck and busted. I was a little hesitant at going with the 33, but the 43 is too large for my liking. It sounds great and fits just fine me. Nice features and I do like finish.
