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.

      Hi Jfc87, Thanks for the feedback. While we're glad that you like the bass sound, we are sorry that it has a bit of a draw back. Kindly check out the link below to isolate the issue. https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xb33/v1/en/contents/TP0002741503.html?search=volume%20level If you haven't yet, you can also test this with a different source to confirm the issue. Please make sure that the speaker is fully charged, especially after it has gone below 10%, and hit the auto volume limiter (designed to keep your speaker battery healthy & safe). We also recommend downloading the Sony Music Center app to fine-tune the sound of the XB33 to your liking. There is a built-in EQ that has 20 points of control for Bass, Midrange, and Treble. If you require additional assistance regarding your concern, you can email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details: Name: Best Buy Username: Model Number: Issue: Telephone Number: Regards, -Craig Sony_US

      Hi Jose,

      We regret that you are having an issue with the volume on your XB33. This is definitely not the experience we wanted you to have. We want to make sure you are getting the most out of your speaker. Please make sure you have downloaded the Sony Music Center app. There you will find all sorts of tools like an equalizer to fine-tune your XB33 and maximize the volume to your liking. Please also ensure that you fully charge the speaker, especially after it has gone below 10%, and hit the auto volume limiter (designed to keep your speaker safe). Then Increase the volume level of the wireless speaker and source devices.

      You may also find different devices will perform better than others, as will different apps due to different audio compression and transmission types.

      If the issue persists, please follow the troubleshooting steps on these links to further isolate the problem:
