    -Up to 24 hours of battery life

    Will you upgrade from your older model after watching this video or will you pass on the SRS-XB33?

      I have been waiting for this models but the abscence of 3.5 aux port really kills the speaker for me, due to my intense use of portable handheld consoles that doesn´t have bluetooth antenna. Damm it. I really wanted this speaker, perhaps the sony srs xb 43 would have the aux port or wouldn´t. T_T.

      Still have 2 XB20 and tied XB21 and XB22 but didn't like the sound and also, MicroUSB was my bigget complaint ... I had in the same time a XB41 and I loved it in the past but got a newer one a few weeks ago and god it sounded bad, I don't know why, it seems that Sonys has messed up the supply chain. I did love the fact that they were pairing-possible though, and apparrently now this feature is gone except if you buy the new models. Too bad but are you sure that isn't compatible ? Because if I recall correctly, at first it wasn't compatible either with XB20 and 21-22 for example, same for XB30 and XB31 ... We needed to push some buttons to put it in "advanced" pairing mode and then it worked :D
      I'm eager to test the XB23, definitively dig the look and the colors. I hope it's really an upgrade since XB20 :)

    Just bought one today after comparing with the JBL charge 4, I picked sound quality, lights, Bluetooth 5.0 over the 3.5 mm jack and loud volume of the JBL. Connected my phone to both speaker at the store and tried various songs and JBL is all noise when it counts, also distorted some vocals at highest volume. The Sony baby gives a much better sound across generes !

    The hardware is capable of playing audio via the type-C, but it's disabled in software on consumer units. In-store demo units have it enabled, so as soon as someone dumps the demo firmware, you can have AUX via USB-C.

I always have music playing when you come to my house and that little speaker of the SRSXB30 was amazing. I can't believe mine lasted the 4 years it did. I was always asked to bring my speaker to parties. Ive owned JBL and beat products and I feel like overall, this is a much better product. Its finally starting to die out and I can't wait to get this one.

    So I’ve had the XB-31 for about a year and saw this one just came out. Bought it and tried it out, it sounds really good. It’s a very rich full sound with good bass. I grabbed my cousins JBL Charge 4 and compared them side by side. The Charge 4 has a way more flatter sound and I’m not a big fan, it does not sound bad though. My cousin said the Sony sounded a lot better too.
    The Charge 4 is $10 more than the Xb-33. If you don’t mind the xb33 being a little heavier and slightly bigger than the charge 4, it’s a no brainer. I know the charge 4 has had good reviews but this new xb33 sounds way better, even better if you mess with the equalizer settings on the Sony app.

I usually don’t need to do 100% volume, it honestly all depends how you will use the speaker. It sounds pretty damn good in my opinion though.

I think the XB33 could get louder, is not THAT loud, if you plan on using this outside a lot I'd look for something louder maybe. For inside the house it sounds great and sound quality combined with SONY equalizer app makes it great sounding.

  • @firemystdl
    @firemystdl 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    While I like the new design, unlike you, what killed it for me to NOT upgrade to this speaker is the removal of the 3.5mm audio input jack. I currently have the XB-31 and use that jack all the time, especially when traveling to plug into tvs and other devices that don't have Bluetooth capability or whose inbuilt speakers suck.
    While I agree with all the other changes they did, they certainly could have kept the input jack even with the BT upgrade to 5.0. So with the removal of that, I won't be considering these line of speakers again as they won't meet my needs. :-(

    Just got this. Not using Fiestable (don't know if that's relevant). It's loud enough. Can be very bass intensive without any rattling or anything. But so far, just playing standard high quality MP3s, it's not very crisp. The bass is over emphasised but even when I turn the bass down and the mids and highs up it produced a fairly 'muddy' sound I don't know if it is a hardware problem or not. The EQ definitely needs to be updated and elaborated. The Low, Mid, High options aren't enough. It should offer presets and let you save your presets as well. MIND YOU, apparently the speakers should be worn in? I've only been using this for a few hours now at mid volume.

He likes bass, and he also likes classical. Hopefully this is what he needs.

    Sony needs to put an FM radio receiver into these portable Bluetooth speakers, with a small sleek display screen that shows the battery life, volume, and radio stations, etc. Now that would be cool, another thing that’s kinda far fetched but doable in this technology age we live in is put an XM radio receiver in it. Sucks you gotta pay for it, but these things are totally possible. Sh!t they could even put a small touchscreen screen with free music apps like pandora, Spotify, Iheart, and tunein radio, which obviously would require WiFi, then it truly would be a smart speaker and have it all built into a quality speaker... wishful thinking I know haha it’s all possible though, but the FM radio receiver and display screen for the standard functions could easily be done and make these speakers even greater than they already are...

IMO the xb32 sounded better..clearer and bass was stronger..i thought the xb33 sounded muddier and even after adjusting the equalizer it still sounded muddier...i tested it with oldies, pop, rap, and talk radio..i was dissapointed with the 33...im going to keep my xb32 and focus my attention to the xb43...it looks to be awsome...i will say with the side firing bass radiators the bass is different..the xb32 the bass seems stronger and more in your face..the xb32 IMO is the finest xbass speaker sony produced..i really wanted to like the xb33 but i was not impressed with the sound..as soon as i fired up the xb33 the first thing i thought was this sound muddy compared to my xb32 playing the same songs i listen to alot on my xb32..just my opinion yours may differ..

    • @GamesWizard
      @GamesWizard 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Not completely a fair battle considering a speaker takes a fair few hours for break in before you really get the sound and the drivers working well. So if you were patient you'd see a difference. It's going to be better than the 32, you just need to allow for break in. I have an XB 40 and it sounds better now than it did when I first got it. Took a couple days to really let the drivers get a little loose and working well.

      @@MyBryant123 yep, it's not a fair comparison. If you both speakers new out of box different story. The 33 is better, the only difference is where the bass is coming from. With the new Sony speakers having JBL inspired side passive radiators. It's not a forward sounding, but the sound is more evenly dispersed into a room and definitely helps with outdoor listening.
