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.

Great Speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very happy with this speaker. The only reason i gave it 4 stars is the battery life has not lasted up to 24hrs as said in the description. Other than that this speaker is a great buy.

Posted .Hi Bubba2323, thank you so much for the 4 Star rating! We are really thrilled to hear you are happy and satisfied with the superb performance of our XB33.
For the battery: 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, the 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), the lighting function is set to on (factory default settings), and the 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.

Best speaker a person could buy!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker is everything a person could want plus more! My husband was looking for a speaker that he could use outside when doing yard work. Since buying this he has used it outside next to the hot tub, in garage, in the bar, just so many places! Not only is it easy to use with your phone but we have also connected it via Bluetooth to our tv and our projector! We plan to buy a couple different sizes and use them separately and all together for surround sound!

Great party portable speaker
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
