What’s going on guys it’s Hasan from hosbest.com and in today’s article, we are
going to talk about sony srs xb33 as some of you guys know recently
I reviewed many products from Sony and got a lot of comments asking me to review sony speakers
And that’s precisely what I’m doing here today
first
1-Sony SRS-XB33 EXTRA BASS Wireless
at this medium size
the speaker comes in and I have to say I’m a pretty
big fan of what Sony has packed into the speaker for its price
but is it going to be a good option for yourself well let’s take a look
first off there are definitely some huge changes when it comes
to the build of the xb33 versus its predecessor the xb32 the
xb33 definitely got a huge design
boost and I have to say it looks really premium and it looks way
better than the xb32 it is a little larger than the xb32 weighing
in at two and a half pounds but it is still
definitely portable it will easily further
have this durable fabric on the speaker except now it pretty much wraps
around the entire thing instead of just being on the front
like the xb32 and of course, we now have these awesome passive
bass radiators on the sides of the speaker which look incredible
and as you can see here we still have these led lights which the sony
moreover, the sony app allows you to change the colors to your liking
personally I always just use the light mode that’s already on the speaker
when you first open it because sony speakers
that’s just what I enjoy the
most and I haven’t really needed to change it and
also if the lights aren’t your
the thing then no worries because if you press
including the power button Bluetooth pause or play button the volume
buttons and the live sound button that changes the audio if you press
it and you can also switch to the stamina
mode if you hold the live button-down that saves a lot of battery life
but stamina mode takes away from the majority of the base so I definitely
don’t recommend it behind the water-resistant
flap on the back here we have even more buttons including the light button
that I just showed you guys but that light button
that I just showed you guys but that light button also allows you
to see how much battery life you have left on the
speaker if you press it and then we have the party mode button
and the stereo pair mode button now the party mode button allows
you to connect to other
The speakers but only the new speakers
like the 43 the 33 and the 23. the older sony speakers
aren’t able to use this ability and the stereo pair button
allows you to connect to another sony speaker and then play
ports on the back here including a regular USB port so you can charge
your devices straight from the speaker and a USB-C charging port
which is great to have as well now unfortunately we don’t have an audio
jack which I’m not too worried about
life sony claims up to 24 hours of playtime but unfortunately, that’s not
the case here first off we can only get that 24 hours at half volume and
stamina mode with the lights off in stamina mode it definitely doesn’t sound
near as good as the regular bass boost mode which is the setting
that is already on the speaker when you first turn it on when stamina
mode is turned off sony claims at around 14 hours but
realistically you’re probably
going to have the stamina mode on and the
lights with about 80 volumes further
being played most of the time and if that is the case then you’re probably
gonna see around seven-ish hours of playtime this is definitely
resistant which means it can be submerged in up to a meter of water for half
an hour and it is also rust dust and salt water-resistant so you
don’t have sony speakers to worry about it at all if you want to bring
it to the beach or pool and we also have BlueTooth 5.0 which
In the layout, we now have two transducers in the middle of the speaker as
you can see with these white led lights and of course as I mentioned
earlier we have the bass radiators
the xb32 by a wall then the base would be amplified because
of the bass being shot out of the front and the back but unfortunately
with this speaker since the bass is shooting out of the sides when
you place it by a wall the bass
It’s not amplified but honestly, that’s not a huge deal because the
bass is still deeper overall and has a bit more volume than
the xb32 now I’m going to talk more about so i have to say I
really do like the audio from the speaker it is
super crisp and the vocals
and the highs are really clear for the size of the speaker it sounds
more open and vibrant
Of course, we won’t get that super deep bass that we get in high-end
speakers that cost a lot of money
definitely has some heat as a bass fan myself I am always
wanting more thump
so I am a pretty tough judge that being said though we do have an eq
setting in the app that allows you to sony speakers slightly change the audio
and of course, for myself, I always put that bass way up because I like
Also, note here that we have absolutely no latency issues when writing
the article, which is great of course before we move on to the
next, the Sony SRS XB33 is definitely a stylish speaker with all the bells
and whistles except for the audio jack with the new speaker
layout Clear Sound XB67 water
Resisting the great LEDs and USB charging, I think this speaker is a great
option for the price but with decent battery life and a slightly larger
design, this speaker probably isn’t the best option if portability is your main
priority if you like it. To check out the speaker, I’ll
show you the pros and cons before moving on to the next
2-Sony SRS-XP500 X-Series Wireless Portable
Well now we are going to get a detailed review of the sony srs XP 500
wireless speakers, so we will talk about the sound design features
performance and all of its pros and cons so here we go talking about
the build quality most of the body of xb500 is made of plastic
on the front side, we got a metal
handles to carry the xb500 and this is where the led lights are placed
as well on the top, you got some buttons to perform
various tasks like switching
off the device for connectivity purposes play
pause the music turn-on of the megabase etc on the back sony speakers
feature the battery care option and switch on or off the RGB lighting on the
backside it’s got a compartment closed with the rubber flap if you open it
inside you will find two quarter-inch microphone
inputs that you can use for karaoke etc you can even connect the guitar with
xp500 and there are dedicated volume knobs provided for both
microphones it also comes
with two USB ports that you can use to play music via pen drive
there is also a 3.5 mm port provided if you would like to play music on
XP 500 buy a wired connection
xp500 comes with ipx4 waterproofing so you can bring your xb500
near to the pool or at the ph without worrying about any damage to the speaker
because the water xp500 weighs more than 11 kilograms but still, you can easily
carry it and move from one spot to another in your house the led lights
provided are good enough to provide a nice visual experience in low light
condition and it would be nice if there were more led lights
quality is pretty solid talking about the audio quality sony srs xp500 is
very nice in every aspect the audio output is very well balanced
and even without the megabase the amount of waste produced
It’s very nice in the audio output and the same goes for the highs and
mids too. Isn’t great from sony speakers will enjoy all kinds
of music on the xb500 and if you are a party
lover and like an extra amount of bass in your music then
or in the backyard or near the pool but one thing you have to keep in
your mind is that the loudness decreases 25 to 30 percent if you
play music on xb500 using the battery so I will always suggest using the
provided power cord to power up the XP 500 and then play the music
and the placement of the woofer and the tweeters in the speaker system
is in a way that does not matter if you use the XP 500 standing
up or horizontally flat on the surface you will get equally distributed
sound talking about the customization and smartphone apps xp500 comes
you can import the list of audio tracks on your smartphone to play
them directly from the sony music center application you can play the
music connected to the USB port of the xb500 and then you got the
option to turn on the megabase select the live sound equalizer or
create a custom one based on your preference
it also provides lots of options when it comes to power to
improve the battery life you can also change the lighting
the day codec to get the sony speakers’ best
quality audio on xb500 using the sony music center application
you can use the party connect feature to connect multiple
compatible speakers to one another and the same audio will come
out from each of them to create a nice party effect you can also
launch the first able app right from the sony center using
which you can do various customization and fun
played on xp500 under the illumination you can use the predefined
lighting template or you can create your own under the karaoke section
you get lots of audio effects that you can create while using
the karaoke mode but one of my favorite options is the motion
control that allows you to change the lighting effect to increase
decrease the volume and switch between the tracks just by performing
motion-based gestures on your smartphone the party playlist feature
allows your friends to include their favorite tracks in
the playlist to be played on sony
overall sony srs xp500 is a very nice wireless
The speaker in terms of loudness is caused by the additional features
of the design and build quality, so if you are planning to buy a wireless
speaker for your home and home parties, the XP500 is definitely one
of the best options for you, and that’s all about it.
3-Sony SRS-RA3000 360 Reality Audio Wi-Fi
are you a music lover does relaxing to a chill tune or jamming
out on the weekend sound right up your alley if you answered
yes to any of these questions to tell you all about this sony premium
wireless speaker with sony speakers ambient room-filling
sound whether you’re spending your day cooking in the kitchen
cuddled up with your favorite book or just catching up with friends
this speaker is just what you need sound is diffused both
sound and its dual passive radiators deliver a deep bass that
will really get you feeling the music not only does the sound coming
from this speaker go wall to wall but it also can reach from floor
to ceiling with its beam tweeter that produces
sound waves that overlap each other to form an upwards facing
wavefront and one of its coolest features and a personal favorite
of mine is its 360 reality audio which will give you a level of
immersion like you’ve never experienced
recording a new track with your favorite artist because 360 reality
audio tracks incorporate three-dimensional sound location
data they’re able to deliver the ultimate and ambient room-filling sound
however, since it is a premium feature it does require a subscription
to compatible online music services so third-party fees may apply if
you want to be able to use this feature if you don’t want to opt
into a third-party compatible
audio enhancement key on the body of the speaker and it will
start calibration so you’ll have easy listening wherever you are
this speaker is wi-fi enabled so you’re able
to control all sony speakers
and your playlists right from your phone
it also works with Alexa and google assistant
to a speaker group within the Amazon Alexa app or the google home app
to listen to your music in different rooms as well you’re able to play
different songs in different rooms or the same music throughout
your house and Chromecast are built-in stream music online radio
and even podcasts right from your smartphone
tablet or laptop all you have to do is tap the cast button if you
think that’s a crazy amount of compatibility there’s still more it has Spotify
compatible so you can do things like wirelessly connect to your tv
for a more thrilling viewing experience, I do want to note that it
currently only works with Bravia TVs however but if you do have a
compatible tv what you hear will sync perfectly with what you
see on screen because of the lower latency
one final feature that I absolutely love is how this sony speaker
adjusts volume automatically whatever the reason you
could be listening to your favorite song at the perfect volume
and then the next one comes on and bam way too loud and
the one after that is fairly audible the speaker
humid environment such as the bathroom and it comes in light gray or black
this sony premium wireless speaker is unlike any speaker you’ve ever used before
Pros and cons quickly
4-Sony SRS-XG500 X-Series Wireless Portable
the speaker is just flat-out massive it’s as wide as 18.1
inches it has a height
of 10.1 and it has a depth of 8.5 it weighs a total of 12.4 pounds so
it definitely has some weight to it which I guess means you can
ditch those dumbbells and just start curling
This huge guy when we take a look at the outside you can see
the mesh fabric is going all over it and it gives a blackish gray
look which I dig but it’s not the best kind of material to use for a
speaker but they still make it cool you can get your nice
longhand on top it’s Great for pregnancy
because it is ip66 water-resistant and dustproof now coming
over to both sides are your 4.33-inch passive radiators and
they have an awesome light shell with multiple colors that go
to the beat of the sound, you can turn them on and off with
the button in the back and we’re going to get into all of
that is next but you can also customize
These lights and we do more in the applications we will get to
later until we come to the back input sony speakers have
a lot of cool things you’ve got your power
can die very quickly so if you’re on the go and your phone is on low
your speaker can come in handy you never know it rhymed and I
might be a poet and not even realize it but I say we forget about
that and keep going next to that is your audio input then
all the way to the right is your mic and guitar input for maybe
some karaoke or to shred some bass on that new guitar
you also get a dial to you know mess around
with the amp and next to it is
to turn the led lights on and off the battery care button which
avoids overcharging and keeps the battery in good shape
and then lastly you got your party to connect which technically
allows you to connect up to a hundred compatible speakers
which would be an unreal experience probably
too loud to handle but again it’d be a crazy time okay now let’s
jump into the sound and base you have a 4.33 inch passive
so with all of these thrown in and working together, you
get an amazingly powerful sound with some incredible bass and
the vocal clarity is pretty sweet where the highs and
lows are controlled and very
It’s comforting to hear that in general, I liked the sony speakers
and they must j; k is very expensive
this speaker is you also have some options on controlling the sound
and bass so to boost the bass hit the megabase
softens and lowers the sound output then turns off the led
lights to save the battery this is all in line with your
power button your Bluetooth version which is 5.0 and
it has a maximum range of roughly 98 feet away from
your device when you got your pause play in volume
going into the two apps they give you got a music center
and first able where you can mess around
it usually doesn’t sound great you can turn certain controls
on and off you can mess around with colors and speed the led
lights up and downplay your library of music either on your
phone or insert a USB drive into the speaker and shuffle the music
through the app in the first table, it’s more of the party app where you
can dive into the DJ world having more control you can do some
karaoke makes some party
the music because anytime I try to fix the audio settings
it sounds worse than the default settings but if you got
some skill and you think you can make it sound
better than definitely give it a try from the mic
I think this is a great device from sony speakers
Before we move on to the last of our list, let
I will show you the pros and cons
5-Sony SRS-XB13 Extra BASS Wireless Bluetooth
this is sony’s srs xb10 it’s a small portable wireless speaker
that is the size of a soda can but smaller here I have the black
colorway but it is also available in blue-green white orange and
yellows the speaker packs a punch when it comes to battery
life sony says it has a 16-hour battery life and during my
use, I got around 15 hours playing music at 50 volume
make it last a week and the next feature I would like to talk
about is the ipx5 certification this is water-resistant it’s not
waterproof so you can take it out while it’s raining but you
can’t drop it in the pool the speaker has NFC capability
and it can also connect to two wireless speakers for the stereo
sound I like the build quality of the speaker it doesn’t feel expensive or
does it feel cheap it feels just right the body of the speaker is mainly
rubber while the bottom one has a more grippy rubber the speaker
feels solid and durable it doesn’t feel like it’s gonna break
if I drop it I’ve actually dropped the speaker even though this
isn’t shockproof the speaker survived I dropped it about three times
and it was from like my head height it was by mistake
I was just tossing it around sony speakers and it fell but
nothing really major happened the speaker didn’t
crack there were only like two or three
good all of the media control buttons are located near the bottom
there are no dedicated forward or backtrack buttons but there’s a
multifunctional pause and play button which can be used to
skip tracks or answer or decline calls then next to it there’s
an add button to connect another speaker underneath it there’s a
mic then there’s the volume up and down button then at the very
about is, of course, the sound quality this has a single 5-watt
46-millimeter driver with a single passive radiator that can
produce a good amount of bass for its size of course unlike
other smaller speakers this one does a pretty good job with
deep bass sony has a feature called extra bass and it actually
works on this the bass is punchy and clear it doesn’t really
distort unless you’re playing like you know bass booster song and playing
it at 100 then it will just a little but other than that it can handle music
Let me show you the pros and cons
Here we are getting to the end of the article. Thank you for getting here. Have a nice day
