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.

    Bluetooth speaker sounds good but is a little disappointing as it seems there is a little to be desired. Could use a little more power and bass. I listen to metal and it sounds good but could use just a little more.

    Yes!! This puppy rocks!! Easy to connect and reconnects flawlessly. I want another one. Only flaw is I don't hear high pitched sound well. I use it on the "LIVE" setting and this helps a lot.

      Hello fisherman, We are sorry that you don't hear the high-pitched sound well on your Sony wireless speaker. The quality of your source will also affect the sound quality of the speaker. You may try playing different sounds from different sources to isolate the issue. It's nice that you switch the sound effect to LIVE SOUND and that helps compensate for the sound quality you are looking for. 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. You can also enhance your party by customizing the lighting and flashing strobe lights with the Fiestable app. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Vincent Sony_US

    Once I received the speaker I was super excited. Bluetooth Connectivity was super easy. The sound on this speaker is amazing super clear and crisp. For some reason I though it would go a little louder but thats no biggie it gets loud enough for my liking. You can download the apps “Fiestable or “Sony Music Center”, to better managed the speaker but to be honest I don’t think they are necessary. It has a USB port si you can charge your phone. The Sony Speaker also holds a pretty good charge, I’ve used it several days already and it keeps going and going. Love it very much and I can’t wait to take it with me to the beach or a pool party without having to worry it will get wet since its waterproof. It is definitely worth the price.
