Sony SRS-XB33 Portable Bluetooth Speaker

OVERVIEW:

Enjoy powerful sound anywhere: Enjoy deep, punchy sound wherever you like with your EXTRA BASS™2 speaker. Dual passive radiators work together with full-range speakers to enhance low-end tones, giving bass a boost.

Long battery life: Up to 24 hours of battery life6 means the SRS-XB33 can party even longer than you can. Even with the lighting on in EXTRA BASS™ mode, you can party for up to 14 hours.

X-Balanced Speaker Unit enhances sound quality and power: Developed by Sony, the X-Balanced Speaker Unit achieves high sound quality and powerful sound pressure for a richer, deeper, more rewarding listening experience.

How the X-Balanced Speaker Unit works: Unlike the circular diaphragm in a conventional speaker unit, the newly developed X-Balanced Speaker Unit in the XB33 features a non-circular diaphragm. This not only maximises the area of speaker diaphragm, increasing sound pressure for more punchy bass – it also reduces driver excursion while maintaining the same sound pressure, resulting in less distortion. Meanwhile, the unit’s off-centre design and optimised weight balance help to enhance clarity and widen the sound stage.

Mica Reinforced Cellular speaker cone and dust cap: The rigid and lightweight Mica Reinforced Cellular (MRC) speaker cone and dust cap contributes to the sound quality.

Side passive radiators: The layout of the side passive radiators has been optimised to reproduce clear bass sound.

Hear it like it’s live: Hit the LIVE SOUND button and hear your music in a whole new way. Bring your party to life with a unique three-dimensional sound experience – creating festival vibes wherever you go.

How LIVE SOUND mode works: The speakers of the SRS-XB33 are carefully designed to give you a real three-dimensional experience. Our angled speakers with DSP technology send your music to a wider area, creating a festival vibe, wherever you are.

Light up the party: There’s no fun without party lights. The SRS-XB33 features a speaker light and a multi-colour line light that flash in sync with the beat. You can even change the colour of the line light to suit your mood.

Get things booming with Party Connect: Enjoy the same song, multiplied, with Party Connect. Connect up to 100 compatible wireless speakers8 with BLUETOOTH® technology and the music and lights sync-up so everyone dances to the same beat. Set a random pattern or set the lights to blink in a circle.9

Control the party with the Sony | Music Center app: Control the party from the dancefloor, with the Sony | Music Center app – select your favourite playlists, cue the next song, or change lighting patterns and sound modes.

Fiestable app: Download the Fiestable app and you’ll be able to control the lighting on the SRS-XB33, and you can also use motion control gestures on your smartphone screen.

Hands-free calling: The speakerphone function offers a convenient way to talk hands-free, whether it’s a conference call for work or a chat with friends.

Stand it up or on its side: Whether you place it horizontally or vertically the SRS-XB33 sits securely so you can always find space for it, wherever you’re partying.

Stream music with BLUETOOTH® technology and NFC™: Near Field Communication (NFC) and Bluetooth® technology10 remove the need for wired connections and complex set-up sequences. Simply touch your NFC-enabled device to the speaker for a quick, seamless connection, then start streaming your music collection. No NFC? No problem. Connect via Bluetooth and you’re ready to go.

USB Type-C® and USB charging ports: Use a USB Type-C® cable to charge the SRS-XB33 and if your smartphone’s running low on power, just plug it into the speaker’s USB port to charge up the battery.
