    Very easy for my children to set up with their laptops. Excellent sound quality. Would have given 5 stars, but it is not as bounce proof as I would like for children. Repurchased one of these to replace one that broke after being accidentally dropped on the stairs.

    This is a very handy unit and has the added feature of being able to provide true stereo coverage when linked with another unit. While it does not provide the best sound I have heard from similar smaller units it is good for it's size and easy to carry around

    It's only one speaker but works great on Blue Tooth and has a very long battery life. If they had one with two speakers at around that price I would have Bought that one but excellent for what I want to use it listen to baseball games on Sirius online

    I got this for my wife to use at picnics with our child and we’ve used it in the car (the car is old and won’t connect through anything in it). The sound is clear and volume is great for its size. We love it

    I really like this speaker. I like how portable it is and it has really great sound for being so small. I just wish the battery charge lasted a little longer since I do tend to like to listen to my music at an increased volume Which decreases the battery life.

    This speaker is perfect for the car. The sound is pretty good. Would like a little more volume though. I don't have a lot of fancy equipment in my car .. blue tooth is one thing I don't have hooked up. This portable speaker is a great assistant! "Portable" is what it is!

      Hi Shebrew, Awesome! We're very pleased to hear you like the sound quality and it fits perfectly in your car. If you would like to add more sound pair with another XB12 for stereo sound. We're also happy you are also enjoying the easy portability of the unit. Thanks for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US

    The speaker is waterproof in the shower, has a bluetooth range farther than expected, allows you to skip tracks forward by double pressing the Play button, and seems to be well made. Very satisfied with this product!

    Its IP 67 rated and does handle well when it accidentally fell into the pool. Perfect when you get tired of watching Netflix or Hulu on Mac with earphones. The sound has a good bass to it and fills the room well.

    Love this speaker! Wanted a speaker that I could use when listening to my audio book on my phone. I’m a little hard of hearing and need more volume than the phone has. Works great.

    It’s smaller then I thought it would be. The sound is nice for an average room. Recommend if you can buy under $40 but wouldn’t recommend the speaker for over that price.
