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.

    Great sound. Very portable. I’m so glad I got this one instead of the smaller one. It has great sound, even outside. It is easy to carry around with me. Would definitely buy again.

    Baby brother to the sbx-43, which is excellent for bass heavy music. This little guy sits in the treatment room of Austin Quan Yin acupuncture, providing soothing music streamed over Spotify. Great sound, very small footprint, good mid bass. If you like hip hop, metal, EDM, then go for the 43 with the bigger drivers

    So far I have really enjoyed this speaker. I bought 2 and use them paired for stereo mode and the quality is very good. Battery life is great. My kids love the flashing lights. I also have a Bose and the sound quality may not be quite as good, but overall I am satisfied.

    I purchased this because it was waterproof and I was going to the lake and wanted music on the dock and boat. Sound was fine, never distorted. I was able to adjust for additional bass with the app. Bluetooth connection was easy over multiple users. Battery life is so long it is never an issue.
