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.

    Pretty good but not as loud in open areas with background sound like the beach for example.

    Music to my ears! This lil guy is probably half the size of its bigger brother, the xb43. I’ve used this guy to gain some additional clarity to my current setup of 2 xb43s. On its own merit, it is much more travel friendly, while maintaining depth and a rich sound - definitely key for a beach day or day gardening. I have always been a Sony fan, this speaker perpetuates the sentiment.

    This purchase was one of the best things I have done in a long time . I enjoy sitting outside but can hear my music very well with the windows open. Now I just pair this speaker and it sounds as good outside as it does inside . One of the great features is I can turn the music down inside so my spouse can read or nap while I listen where I am as loud as I please ! Thanks Best Buy from both of us !
