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.

    I bought this mostly for kayak trips and camping, the battery lasts all day as long as it is not on max volume. I at times have to shut the unit down to successfully connect to my phone after my son has been using it but it only takes about 10 seconds. The waterproofing works as we got rained on and the speaker functions perfectly.

    This speaker is definitely loud! Great purchase! Only downfall is you don't know when it is fully charged. The charge light does not change color/turn off/flash, when it's done.

      Hi Dankerry,

      Thank you so much for the 4-stars review & feedback! We're really happy to hear you like the sound quality of your XB33 EXTRA BASS™ Portable BLUETOOTH® Speaker! If you haven't yet, downloading the Music Center app allows you to select your favorite playlists, cue the next song, or change lighting patterns and sound modes of the unit- this will surely enhance your experience!

      The CHARGE indicator turns off once charging completes. If the built-in battery is fully charged when you connect the speaker to an AC outlet, the CHARGE indicator lights up in orange then turns off after about 1 minute. We will surely take note of your feedback as we always strive to make this a better experience.

      Thank you so much for choosing our XB33 and for choosing Sony!
