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.

    This has held a charge very well and it projects sound that can be heard in the entire house. I color sync with music is a bit sub par.

    Good, high-quality sound with decent volume. However, read specs carefully. Battery-life is very much dependent upon volume level.

    Great party portable speaker

    Sony's SRS-XB33 is an amazing portable Bluetooth speaker. The speaker is well built, with excellent sound quality and does not feel heavy. The battery is supposed to last 24 hours, but I have used it intermittently everyday for almost a week without recharging. Similar to other SRS series of portable speakers, this one comes with line LED light that syncs with the music. You can also change the color of the light or completely turn it off. This speaker is IP67 rated, which means it is waterproof and dust resistant. Sony mentions that it is also shockproof and saltwater resistant, which are nice to have and not something I would want to try. By closing the cover for the connection at the back of the speaker, you can submerge or run this speaker under running water to clean. All the controls are housed on the top panel on a rubber strip. Now to the best features part, one such thing is the easy pairing of the speaker using Bluetooth or NFC connection. Another feature I like is the ability to connect up to 100 wireless speakers and sync the music. The charging of the speaker is done via USB C cable, which is a nice change compared to traditional micro USB. It also comes with a USB A port that you can use to charge other devices, making this speaker a portable battery pack. The speaker can also be used for handsfree calling, although not everyone might use this feature all the time. Overall, it is a great update from Sony on their SRS line of portable speakers and I recommend it to anyone looking for a great quality portable speaker.
