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.

    Besides moving this speaker outside and from room to room easily, and enjoying the sound quality, it is hands down the best bluetooth speaker phone I've used for my job. I have other speakers that were costly and always got complaints of sound quality on conference calls. This speaker is perfect for my needs!

    I purchased this speaker as a Christmas gift for my son. He had made previous comments that I wouldn't know how to buy a good speaker. He was right - I purchased a great speaker! The sound is excellent and the price was unbeatable. My son is always listening to it and is still thanking me. That means a lot coming from a 16 year old.

    I would have given this a 5 star if the battery life lasted a bit longer. Overall, it is a great speaker. I do love the lights and the ability to play with and change colors via the app. However, I do wish there was a feature to be able to turn off the lights to save on battery life. I didn't see the ability to turn them off. So, choose a solid color instead to aid in battery life.

      Hi 4SmokinSlyks, Thanks for sharing your experience and we are sorry to hear about your concern with the battery life. You can actually turn off the speaker’s light of this speaker. When you purchase the speaker, the lighting function is set to on. To turn this off, just press and hold the BATT (battery)/LIGHT button behind the cap on the rear side of the speaker for about 3 seconds until the lighting function turns off/on.

The XB33 combines a tough, durable design with long battery life, deep bass sound, and flashing lights. Giving you the freedom to party wherever, whenever.
