Rubber feet on the bottom panel keep the 2.4-pound speaker stable on flat surfaces.Ī rubber strip on the top panel houses the controls, with buttons for power, Bluetooth, play/pause (which also answers/ends phone calls), minus/plus for volume, and Live, which adds an unnecessary spatial effect to the audio.

The drivers are also lit up by LEDs and resemble glowing eyes from behind the grille. On either end, the Sony SRS-XB33 has a band of LED lights that continually change colors and flash to the beat (they can be controlled or disabled in the app).īehind the cloth grille, dual full-range drivers, aided by passive bass radiators on both ends of the speaker, deliver a frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz. But unlike that speaker, its front face and top panel are both flat, while the back is rounded.
Measuring 3.8 by 9.7 by 4.2 (HWD) and available in black, blue, red, or taupe, the SRS-XB33 isn't quite cylindrical-it’s oblong like its less expensive sibling, the Sony SRS-XB23 ($99.99). That said, in-app EQ allows for some sound signature tweaking, and built-in LED lights add a fun factor, making the SRS-XB33 a solid outdoor-friendly option for the price.
Thankfully the lows are balanced by sculpted highs, but this is not a speaker for those seeking accurate audio performance. While not exactly tiny, the Sony SRS-XB33 is still quite small for the amount of sound it can produce-there’s plenty of bass depth here for the size and price.
