    A nice small speaker. Sound is ok. Easy to operate and hook up to bluetooth. Battery lasts for a week or more. A good value for the money spent.

    For its size, pumps out clean sound. Don’t expect booming bass, but it’ll fill a small room or bbq with enjoyment.

      Hi SoundGuy2007, Good to know you're enjoying the sound quality despite its compact size. We hope you are enjoying the easy portability with detachable strap. If you would like to add more sound pair with another XB12 for stereo sound. 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
