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.

    The sound is great for bass and music styles such as EDM and Hip Hop. Don’t regret this purchase one bit. The Sony app for the speaker is the only downside and left me wanting more.

    Sony never disappoints. From tvs to speakers. This little speaker is a great size, big enough for amazing sound but small enough to stick your backpack for trips. I dont care much for the light show it orchestrates. Connecting to it is super easy, the extra bass doesnt sound distorted as long as you dont blast the music which in my opinion isnt necessary cause the sound is enough in a home with the volume set to 3 bars below full volume.

    This is an incredible speaker in sound quality and the lights are fun for the kids . It is lightweight, yet the rubber grips on the bottom help to ensure there is no bass reverberations from bouncing on the surface.

    Love, love, love it! This Sony Bluetooth wireless speaker is awesome! We’ve had the small Sony Bluetooth wireless speaker for many years and it does a great job. We wanted something that had more bass without a ton of money. This size speaker does all of that. Added bonus, it flashes different colored lights while it’s playing. Definitely recommend this speaker!
