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.

    Gave this to my significant other as a Christmas present and she is hardly tech savvy but with some help from, yes, the instructions she had it paired up to her iPad and the new laptop I also gave her for Christmas and uses it constantly. Although it is not a stereo device, it really produces great sound and the flashing lights gets her going when she plays music. The nice thing is that if I get her another one it can be set up as a stereo system using the Sony app which provides more control over the speaker.
