    Speaker gives off a sound throughout the home that’s unbelievable. Your phone doesn’t have to be close to use, and your calls come through clear when answering while listening to music. A must have......

    I bought one speaker because of the price and sound I went back for a second speaker because you can pair them up. (price and sound made it an easy choice to go back and get another one.)

    Big sound from a little speaker. The auxiliary jack is a nice feature, enabling you to plug-it in and instantly get sound rather than trying to pair it with your device.

    These are good little speakers for the price. Instructions are laughable....all done with pictures. Not sure if that is because humans have become too lazy to read or those who would make the instructions are too stupid to spell.

    I've enjoyed this little speaker. I bought another and use the expanding feature. Used poolside over the summer and can confirm it's waterproof.

    This is the smallest speaker you could buy with amazing sound. We love it! It sounds like a huge speaker and we can hear everywhere on our deck. What a great buy!

    bought this to use in our travel trailer as the installed speakers tended to frizz out when the volume was turned up. This works really well in place of those speakers!

    This little speaker has amazing bass sound. I bought two and you can pair them both for a great sounding experience. They stay playing for hours before they need a recharge.

      Hi Joey, Wow! Thank you for purchasing two SRSXB12 speakers! We're very happy to hear you like the amazing bass sound despite its compact size. And good to know you like the stereo sound it delivers when paired with another xb12. We hope you are enjoying the easy portability with a detachable strap. Plus, with an IP67 rating, you no longer have to worry about water, or dust. Keep your playlists going with up to 16 hours of battery life. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US

    Excellent speaker, the bass is quite impressive, but the battery is a little small for all that bass, it gets quieter as the battery dies. It's still a great buy, but I was a little bummed at how often I have to recharge it.
