Review on πŸ”Š Sony SRS-XB33: Ultimate Portable Speaker with EXTRA BASS, IP67 Waterproof, 24-Hour Battery, Bluetooth, Built-In Mic for Phone Calls - Black by Amber Jones

Revainrating 5 out of 5

XB33 is not loud enough (Sony, please post your specs)

The sound quality of this speaker is good , flashing lights are nice touch. However, it's not nearly loud enough for my purpose. At full volume with my phone set to maximum, the speaker just fills the 12x10 interior. As it is intended to be used in PWC where it needs to overcome engine noise I'm not sure it will be loud enough. I suspected this would happen when Sony refused to discuss specs like SPL or performance and compare them to the competition. Unfortunately I have waited over a week for delivery due to Revain having stock issues on this new device. Also, the NFC function didn't work with my Samsung phone. It's ok as pairing via BT is quite easy. Now that Sony is overstating the XB33's capabilities, Revain gets back a good product and pays shipping both ways, but that's the beauty of the Prime.

Pros
  • Efficient charging with USB Type-C and using XB33 to charge your smartphone or other small devices via a USB connection
Cons
  • Not trendy
