Review on Renewed Sony SRS-XB33/CC Portable Bluetooth Speaker in Taupe with Enhanced Extra Bass by Petar Dimitrov Velik ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Valuable purchase, nothing but pluses!

It's never easy to find the perfect present for a woman, especially when you have to take into account her taste, your budget, and the practicality of the item in her hands. I called attention to numerous competitors, including the JBL Charge 4 (8999), Sony SRS-XB33 (9999), and Ural TT M -4 (6500), when deciding on a portable speaker within 8-10 thousand, long-playing, and with a power of 20-30 W. I spent a number of days devoting my attention to this challenge, listening to all of the advice, twisting it in my hands, taking it for a spin on the trading floor, and reading reviews. In short, then. JBL is known for its barrel-shaped audio, with simplistic and monophonic acoustics. The Ural has the longest playtime of the three, plays in stereo, has two speakers, and weighs roughly 1.7 kg (but has loops for attaching a carrying strap), and claims to have 30 W of power (2x15 W are listed on the package despite the fact that only 20 W are declared on AliExpress). Each of the three speakers can withstand water. But! Sony's stock equalization settings produce the cleanest sound, effectively capturing high and low frequencies. The Ural Mountains have a unique acoustic signature, with the highest frequencies audible only with the right settings (I use Dub Music Player). I'll confess it: I bribed Sony with its surround sound effect and its backlight (which isn't just a series of blinking diodes like on the Sven PS-550 but rather flashes and mode changes in time with the music's frequencies and speed). That's why I resolved to spare no expense. The Sony SRS-XB33's steep price tag is justified by the sheer joy of having such a high-quality Bluetooth speaker at your disposal at all times. If you don't mind carrying an extra 800 grams and don't have a particularly sensitive ear, Ural is a great choice. If you're driving, you don't care about killing him, or you're a man, take him with you everywhere you go, whether it the dacha, the wilderness, or elsewhere. And when compared to rivals, its price is really attractive. A device for those who already adore JBL, as it offers an average balance of quality, sound, and price. Even though I'm not a Sony fan, I have to admit that this system sounds excellent and looks nice in the flat.

Pros
  • Gentle noises, both low and high in pitch (the range begins at 20 Hz); Sound rhythms illuminated in light according to their frequencies and tempos;
Cons
  • Not quite out in the open
