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.

    Nice speaker for outdoor. Holds a charge for quite a while. I thought the volume would be a bit louder, but not bad for the price. The control buttons on top are hard to see as they are the sane color as the speaker,

      Hi Martin,

      Thank you so much for sharing your great review & feedback on our XB33 EXTRA BASS™ Portable BLUETOOTH® Speaker! It's nice to hear you're enjoying the great sound quality of this speaker, especially when using in a pool area. If you haven't, to get 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 make sure as well you fully charge the speaker, especially after it has gone below 10%, and hit the auto volume limiter (designed to keep your speaker battery healthy & safe). You may also find different devices will perform better than others, as will different apps due to different types of audio compression and transmission. We will have your feedback about the buttons noted as we always strive to make this a better experience.

      Thank you so much for your time in sharing your experience with our XB33 and for choosing Sony!

    Love the bass on this speaker, and the way it lights up along with the music. It sounds louder when it's put on LIVE mode, but without it, sounds a bit low. Still great with quality though! Don't regret it.

    Really pleased with the sound, the battery life and the disco flashing lights are fun! I also have a JBL and definitely comparable to the Charge 4 at a better price point. The only thing that would make it 6 stars is if it had an onboard charging cord compartment.. I hate trying to keep track of all my USB charging cords..

    I had really good non brand Bluetooth speaker for a couple of years and it stopped charging. Started panicking because I was hosting Christmas in less than a week and had nothing to play music. I needed to find something quick and inexpensive. Did some research, but nothing was jumping at me. This popped up a couple of times, but it kept giving me beach vibes (what beach would I be going to in the winter lol), it was small and I felt that it would not give enough bass so I can feel the music. I was really stressing out at this point and reading the reviews from people who were giving their expertise advise and comparisons had me all over the place in a good way. I told myself to just go into a store and feel it out. Could not make a decision and got help from a salesman who pointed me directly to this. Here we go. Sold!!!!!! This Bluetooth speaker really gave the bang for my bucks. From the compact style, color, the bass, sound and gotta give it up for the lights. I got a lot compliments.
