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 speaker. I was able to pair it with my phone so now I can take calls without using the phone's built in speaker and get a much better sound and keep my hands free and people don't have trouble hearing me.

    Needed a somewhat compact and durable speaker for using around house and to use when traveling. Sounds good and met my needs. So far all is well and is meeting my expectations. Just added a carrying case for added travel protection.

      Hi Finally, we're glad you like the sound quality of our product. We want to make sure you are getting the most out of your purchase and its battery life. If you have not done so, please download the Sony Music Center App. Here you will find all sorts of useful tools for controlling your (speaker model), and getting the most out of your battery.

      BATTERY LIFE SETTINGS
      Approx. 14 hours (The lighting function/ Volume at 35)
      Approx. 4 hours (EXTRA BASS on/The lighting function/ Volume at 50)

      That being said, just like any other battery-operated speaker, the actual performance time may vary due to the volume, songs played, the surrounding temperature, and usage conditions.

    Had a JBL charge 2 that finally died after several years. Was ready to buy the charge 4, but saw this speaker in the recommended section. This speaker has a variety of options that the JBL charge series of speaker doesn’t offer when you download the apps. Sound quality is comparable to the charge but with the additional features the Sony is a better deal.

    Sound quality great as expected for a low budget speaker 101 percent. Can compete on some other top brand portable speaker on its current line-up. Sony one of the trusted brand in the world. Been a fan of its product since i owned my first Walkman in the 1990s erah. Keep it up Sony.

      Hi Beefbwpd, Glad to know that you like the sound quality of the XB33! It combines a tough, durable design with long battery life, deep bass sound, and flashing lights. To get the most out of the volume, please try the different sound modes found in the Sony Music Center app, until you find the one you like for outdoor or indoor settings. There is even an EQ in there. You may also try the STEREO PAIR in which 2 SRS-XB33 speakers are required. By connecting 2 speakers via BLUETOOTH connection, you can enjoy a more powerful sound. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

    It’s a powerful little speaker. I have a few different sizes of this speaker though and I’m not happy with the way they’re advertised. You’re made to think they sync with each other and they don’t unless they’re the same size. That’s a big drawback to me. They shouldn’t make you believe you can use them at the same time because you can’t.
