Stopped working in less than a month
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this beginning of April and was very happy with it. Then it simply stopped working. I could not turn it on, and could not get it to charge. Just dead. I just got a replacement and am crossing fingers that it works better.

Not impressive at all
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really surprised at the positive reviews. The sound is very crisp and clear but quite low in terms of volume. At volumes loud enough for the speaker to be heard (just) a few feet away, the sound is so bright that it's a bit tiring after just an hour or so. No bass to speak of. Even at the sale price ($35), I don't think it's a particularly good deal. I def wouldn't pay full price for it. I'm going to return it, but the return instructions state that the product must be returned w/ a "power cable" and an "AC adapter," otherwise money will be subtracted. The thing is that the speaker ONLY comes with a USB cable. Bizarre.

Ridiculous price increase
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this speaker a few weeks ago when it was $40. The price is now $60. It's about a $25 speaker. I have better sounding $10 and $15 dollar speakers. I don't really hear any bass boost as claimed. I would have brought another one to pair with mine but not at $60.

Ok product
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The speaker looks great, sound quality disappoints. The speaker is sold under the idea that you’d come to enjoy sound in open areas but it fails to perform. Keep in mind that you’ll need your phone to remotely connect and your phone volume is as loud as it gets. Overall a 2 stars ⭐️

Don’t buy it!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s terrible. At max volume it’s still pretty low. I run cone drills, 10 yards apart, once I reach the 10th yard, It’s hard to hear. When it reaches 30-40% battery. The volume drops to 60% and can’t go higher til it’s fully charge. I got it on sale and even then not worth the price.

Sound is good but can't connect it to new iphone
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was easy to connect to my previous iphone, but the new iphone (also an APPLE but this one is an 11 and the previous was a 6S Plus), anyway I cannot get it to connect so currently it is not useful. I would have liked written directions.

OK for voice and music, connections not consistent
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good sound but seems to drop Bluetooth connection unexpectedly. Not sure if it's something I'm doing, but Bluetooth tends to be a little sketchy with other devices, too. The sound is average, but nothing to write home about.

Second time, not a charm!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this product, because I had owned one, and was very pleased with its performance, but managed to misplace it. Not too happy with this one! It doesn't seem to be as loud, and the battery life is terrible!

Charge port is broke and won't charge
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I will probably never buy this product ever again. The charge port won't charge the speaker. I have only had this 30 days and was told by best buy when I called that because I did not buy protection they won't cover it. Not happy

Sony - SRS-XB12 Portable Bluetooth Speaker - Black
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I think it would be better to shell out more money for a better speaker. When it works its great, but it doesn't last long, then its very low sound quality and you can not use when charging.

Overrated in my opinion
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not really sure what the hype is about the speaker. I believe it's overpriced and there are cheaper ones that sound much better

Disappointing sound quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased a pair of these to enhance the sound from my Echo Dot. Unfortunately the sound quality is not very good. This was advertised as having good bass and that's just not the case.

Not as per Sony standard
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It runs fine initially, good quality audio output. But the Bluetooth went crazy after few months. Reset didn't help either. Volume also reduced after few months.
