Review on Sony SRS-XB33 EXTRA BASS Wireless Portable Speaker: Ultimate Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker with 24 Hour Battery and Built-In Mic - Blue by Mark Allen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I'm happy with the performance

Update #2: I read reviews that it's quiet is. Download the app and adjust the equalizer for low, medium and high frequencies to the maximum. It doubles the power of the sound. It doesn't even distort the sound. However, it is loud enough for me with normal settings. 1 month update: I've had time to really enjoy this speaker. Now I want to talk about the battery life. I get up at 4 am every morning to get ready for work. Then I unplug the speaker and turn it on. I play quietly in the morning. Until 4:50 when I went to work. When I get to work, my phone instantly reverts to xb43 as soon as I turn the key off. There he begins to play 10 hours at a time. Anywhere between 60% and 90% volume. I leave work and the battery is still at 70%. After 10 hours straight! I don't know how long it lasts at 100% volume with the lights on. It's too loud. Our Prime Ministers and President would probably ban all music if we played it all day. Now let's get back to the bass. The bass trick is to download the Music Center app and set the mids and trebles from minus six to ten (-6 to -10) and the bass to plus one or two (+1 or +2). Don't get confused, and all you have to do is turn the speaker volume up for powerful bass. Or set the bass to 10 and the other to -10 just to clap xD (old review): Not sure where to start with this thing. First, the sound is great. Sounds better than the speakers in my car. High and medium frequencies are reproduced perfectly. Now let me warn you about the bass. I don't see anything superfluous in it. There is bass. He creates sounds. It can play the bass from Kendrick Lamar's "Swimming Pools". Most portable speakers can't even attempt to reproduce that deep bass line. It punches, but it's a 7-pound speaker so don't expect to feel it in open spaces. If you're listening in a tight space like a bathroom, the bass will shake. If you listen outside you can hear it. People will be impressed that this level of sound is coming from this sleek flashing panel. That is very nice. It is impressive. All of my co-workers removed their speakers (Bose, JBL, etc.), downloaded the Fiesta app, and added songs to the queue. They like the sound of my speaker more than their BT speakers at the same price. I'm proud of my Sony.

Pros
  • Speakerphone provides a convenient way to take hands-free calls, whether it's on a conference call for work or chatting with friends
Cons
