Posted .Hi Vaccer,
Thanks for commenting! We are thrilled that you are overall satisfied with the superb performance of our XB33. We are sorry if you feel the sound of this speaker a bit too bassy.

https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xb33/v1/en/contents/TP0002800287.html?search=extra%20bass
Additionally, if you haven't yet, downloading the Music Center app allows you to select your favorite playlists, cue the next song, or change the lighting patterns and sound modes of the unit. There is a built-in EQ that has 20 points of control for Bass, Midrange, and Treble.

Not so loud speakers
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is super clear and crisp but the volume on this speaker is not as loud as I thought it would be. I returned it back for a refund. The design and lights are nice. I would recommend this device if you don’t want the speakers to be loud.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from SonyListens
Posted .Hi Case, We regret to hear that you returned this XB33 EXTRA BASS™ Portable Wireless Speaker because of the sound issue. We apologize for any inconvenience. The sound may become low, when the built-in battery is running low and the CHARGE indicator flashes slowly, while the speaker is being powered by the built-in battery only and when the rechargeable built-in battery is running low as a result of long-time use of the speaker at a loud volume even though the speaker was connected to an AC outlet by a USB AC adaptor (commercially available) or to a computer that comes equipped with a USB charging port. This is not a malfunction.
In any case that you need our assistance, please chat with us from Sony’s e-support webpage.
I hope this helps! Jay

Great sound but issues with connecting
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like this speaker as it really puts out. What I don't like is I have had trouble connecting to the blue tooth on my computer. My husband spent almost a day trying to figure it out. Most of the time it connects but frustrating when it doesn't . I also don't like the buttons at the top are black and it is hard to see where to turn on, and also to turn up the speaker or down. Other then that I really love it and a great improvement over the older one I had.
