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.

    This speaker did not last more than a year. The highest volume is lower than a small JBL speaker on the highest volume. The life span isn't worth for its price. I am having to charge it every other time i use it (after owning it for a year) I don't recommend.

    Average when compared to other BT speakers in this price range. The base is decent, but the highs are lacking. Battery life is good, and the lights are a cool feature.

      Hi Angel, We're glad you like the features of your XB33 especially the battery life and flashing lights. It combines a tough, durable design with long battery life, deep bass sound, and flashing lights. To make sure you are getting the most out of your new purchase, please make sure to download the Sony Music Center App. There you will find all new ways to control the sound and performance of your speaker 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. Lastly the XB33 is indeed waterproof. If the kids accidently knock the XB33 in the pool, have no fear, it floats! We value your input and appreciate your feedback. Thank you for choosing Sony. -Jess Sony_US
