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 sounds quality. I love the lights because it will bright up a room and we can see everyone. The extra bass Sony has done is really great it helps with the music I listen to.

    The sound is really good for a small package. I like its potability and I haven't had to charge it yet. I haven't used it tirelessly but battery life between charges seems to be very good.

    We have had this for a while now, and it’s been great and reliable! It gets pretty dang loud for the size of the speaker. We like our music loud but we wanted something portable as well. This was perfect. From little league baseball, to trips, to the mountains to parties this has been awesome. Definitely suggest this.

    Powerful for its size and price range. You're not buying Bose or Sonos, so don't expect this to be at that level. However, for the purposes of just using it at home, maybe bringing it to a picnic with friends, this is an excellent option. The bass is strong that it gives the songs a lot more thumping quality. My only cons are 1) the lights that keep blinking cannot be turned off and 2) there is quite a jump in between volume increases. However, this is still definitely a buy.

    I use my speaker every single day since I purchased it. I used to have a JBL speaker and I had to replace parts on it so many times , I got frustrated and decided to buy a new one. This Sony speaker has great sound and the battery lasts a long time before it needs another charge.

    Very good speaker. For its size, the Sony XB33 has good bass and a nice tone. We use it in our bathroom, so hopefully it will remain waterproof. It seems to go about 2 weeks between charges without about an hour of usage per day. The app is adequate. Bluetooth connection is slow to my Moto G6, but my daughter's iPhone 8 connects quickly. Happy so far.

    We couldn’t be happier with this device. The battery lasts exceptionally long as does its wireless capability seems to have excellent range. The sound is impeccable and visually it’s a neat speaker regarding the lights. Love that it’s sun, sand and waterproof perfect for boating. Very pleased with this purchase.

    Bought this speaker to get me by while I put off repairing my car's broken audio. While it's obviously not a replacement for the full sound of the cars system, it did a fine job of getting me by. As for a speaker in it's intended setting of filling a room with sound, it does a superb job. The charge holds for a decent amount of time. The speaker communicates to you when it gets low on charge as well as telling your Bluetooth connected device a running total of the charge in 10% increments. Play continues while you charge, so if it stays stationary and plugged in, the battery is a non-issue, but it is quite portable for music anywhere for hours of continuous play back on one charge. Bluetooth connection was simple. Connected and started playing within 5 minutes of purchase. Connection is hassle free every time after that. Has the option to connect to other compatible devices to create a two(2)+ speaker system, obviously this is sold spearetly, but possible. I did not purchase a second speaker yet, but I'll update if/when I do about this feature's functionality, but I'd wager it enhances the experience of music and would be worth it.

    Got this speaker when it was on sale and love it so far. The little light show is nice. The quality of the sound is also great. It’s a very loud speaker too. We don’t have to crank it to max granted we live in a small apartment. The speaker is also easy to setup and is quite nice too. I recommend it if you in the market for a new speaker.

    Love this speaker. Got it to use for work. And I was so excited to see that the battery life will last me 2 full 10 hour work days without a charge. It’s sounds amazing and you can also DL the app and set the equalizers to your own preferences if you’d like! The only downfall is that to get the speaker fully charged again you need to plug it in for like 3hrs. But really it’s not that big of a deal.
