Sony XB33 Charger Type

An adequate Sony XB33 charger type, is a USB wall or auto charger adapter that delivers enough current to fully recharge this speaker in the least amount of time (around 5 hours or less depending on the current output of the adapter you use). So be clear that the charger you pick can deliver enough power for best possible charging performance.

Also, this Bluetooth speaker has a USB-C charging port on the back. So if you opt to buy one of the charger options below, then be sure to also get the right cable.  You’ll use this to connect the XB 33 to your charger of choice. Details follow.

Plus, the maximum current this speaker may draw is 3 amps for the shortest charging times. To get that amount, use a USB-C cable between the charger and speaker that is certified for 3 amp operation.  But you can either use that USB-C to USB-C cord, or use a USB-A to USB-C cord if you go with one of the older USB 2.0 chargers below.

Which Sony XB33 Charger Type Works Well?

We successfully charge the XB33 with the AC adapters below. Note that some of them feature a USB A type female port.  So, you can use one of these to connect your speaker if you wish to use a USB-C to USB-A cord.  Or, if your charger only has a USB-C output port, then you’ll need a USB-C to USB-C cable.

Now, to the adapters we suggest.





USB-C Chargers that Work Well with the Sony XB33

This collection of chargers can charge the XB33 at the max power that the speaker will need (around 15 watts).  Plus none of these costs much. But as we said earlier, for some of them, you will need a USB-C to USB-C cable to connect them to the speaker.

The USB-A Charger Type That Also Works With the Sony XB33

Note that most of these chargers do not provide the full 3 amps that the XB33 needs for fastest charging.  But they will all charge it in under 10 hours.

1. Gearmo Ten Port USB Charging Station

This beefy household wall charging station delivers all the current you need for charging your XB33.  It delivers full USB 2 power on each and every one of its ten output ports.  This means that you will not blow up the speaker recharging time when you charge more than one device at a time. In fact, this charging station supplies enough juice to recharge many older models in the Sony line of wireless speakers. Moreover, you can charge them altogether too. Find this useful USB accessory here at Amazon.com.  We also review this charging station here.

2. CE Tech 4 Port USB Wall Charger is a Great Sony XB33 Charger Type

This CE Tech charging station is another decent size unit, that functions well when recharging Sony XB33 BT speakers in the briefest time.  This well built USB power hub you can buy on eBay for under thirty US dollars here.  We also review this quad port charging system here.

3. GE Jasco Y14 11307 USB Home Charger

This charger is available at Walmart.com.  See that product page, here.   At less than twelve dollars, this dual port AC USB wall adapter, with its folding plug prongs, is small enough to fit in any mobile device accessory travel kit.  It’s also terrific when you take this Sony speaker on vacation. Why?  Because this adapter has a blue night light.  This makes finding your way around dark and unfamiliar bedrooms less risky.  See our   GE Jasco 2.1 Amp USB Charger, Y14 Review   post for more details on this cheap yet practical charger.

4. JBL Charger as a Workable Sony XB33 Charger Type
