The little brother to bigger bass
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.It’s a better buy when buying the Sony speaker sound system. It’s well weighted to carry around and bring music anywhere else. Battery life is very mediocre and almost a no sell but I still wanted Sony so I can connect it with the bigger Sony speakers. Don’t buy at full price and it will feel good. But both at half the price on sale and it will feel like money!!!

Wonderful and Durable, battery needs improvement.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Overview: I purchased this speaker to take in a camel-back while I snowboard, it gave me the extra sound I needed while shredding down the slopes and it’s bass is clear when the “live” or “extended battery” are disabled, when active they both reduce quality to conserve battery. I also used this speaker to play Christmas music for the residents of the assisted living I work at. They thoroughly enjoyed the music more than if it had come out of the tv and I couldn’t have been happier to see them sing along! I was between this speaker and the JBL charge and this has been a worth while purchase, I may still get this charge and use this as a house speaker for the reason of the battery- see below. Pros: Really clear sound, bass is strong (can be felt if volume at max and you are within 4 feet) but be thoughtful of what you set the speaker on to play music as the powerful bass can reverb off and distort sound pretty easy, lights add ambiance when you are relaxing-not great party lights IMO, multiple modes to choose quality/battery, built in mic to give hands free calls when snowboarding. Cons: My biggest issue is the battery life, I take quality of battery every time and this drains the battery within 6 hours which is nothing when on the slopes, I should mention the cold can also reduce this time but It’s hard to know exactly what the battery level is (you just have a light for “charge” that appears and the speaker will say “needs charge” when battery becomes low, but again what level is this at?!) Weight is another thing I would say is a con, it’s light given it’s size and durability but it’s 5+ lbs and this isn’t something you can just toss in a pack, you need to plan it specially if you need to include the charger. Lights are cool but very unnecessary as you can’t personalize it much and it just drains the battery more. With the app you can get it so it does blink or flash to the beat but RGB lights inside of the speakers instead of white would be a huge improvement if possible.

Posted .Hi NoThanks,
Thank you for taking the time to write such an in-depth review of your experience with the XB33 EXTRA BASS™ Portable BLUETOOTH® Speaker.

We will surely take note of your feedback as we always strive to make this a better experience. For the battery life, the actual performance time may vary due to the volume, songs played, the surrounding temperature, and usage conditions. When using the Android smartphone with OS 8.1 or later installed, the remaining battery power of the speaker is displayed along with the connected BLUETOOTH device name. For iPhone/iPod touch with iOS 10.0 or later installed, the remaining battery power of the speaker is displayed on the widget screen of the iPhone/iPod touch. You can also press the BATT (battery) button behind the cap on the rear side of the speaker when the speaker is turned on to activate the voice guidance of the speaker for the remaining battery level.

This question was asked about the related product: Sony - SRS-XB33 Portable Waterproof & Rustproof Speaker with USB Charging Port - Black
- A:Answer Hi Harry, Thanks for reaching out! Absolutely, yes. The XB33 is compatible with iPhone 13 Pro and will perfectly suits your needs. The SRS-XB33 features X-Balanced Speaker Unit which achieves high sound quality and powerful sound pressure for a richer, deeper, more rewarding listening experience. Additionally, this speaker has a Stereo Pair function which allows you to connect another SRS-XB33 for more powerful sound. One speaker plays the sound on the right channel (right side), while the other speaker plays the sound on the left channel (left side) for stereo playback between the speakers. If you want more sound, then we can recommend you the SRS-XB43. This speaker has a 2-way speaker system. This combines a rectangular woofer for low to mid-range frequencies with a dedicated tweeter for the higher range frequencies (per side/channel). The result is exceptional vocal clarity.
