    A pretty good little bluetooth speaker. It’s not the great sound of like a Bose or other high-end brand, but the sound is decent enough for the price. It’s being primarily used for a frequent traveler who uses it to hear his tv better, and for the most part he loves it. His only complaint is he would want it to get a bit louder, but for the price it does its job.

      Hi groovynana, Great! We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying the ease of use and clear sound quality, especially during your workouts. We hope you are enjoying the easy portability with a 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

    Really cool little speaker

    The SRS-XB12 is really a nifty little speaker. For such a small size it does have quite a "large" sound. Not sure I'd say "Extra Bass" but definitely impressive for it's size. The rubberized exterior makes it easy to grip and hold on to and the rubber ring on the bottom keeps it firmly planted to whatever surface you set it on. It's great that it is waterproof meaning you can use it outside without having to worry about it. I haven't had to put that feature to the test yet either. The stated battery life (16 hours) is pretty impressive but I can't verify that as I have not used it for that long yet. I did use it all afternoon without issue though. It would be nice if there were some sore of battery level indicator though. Another cool feature is the speakerphone capability. It has a built-in mic so when paired to your phone it augments the sound when making calls. The carry strap is also a nice touch as well. It also has the ability to pair with a second speaker to give you a Left and Right setup. Having only one unfortunately I wasn't able to try that feature out.

    An excellent addition to my granddaughter's Chromebook for her "Virtual Learning." I was unsure what to buy to increase the Chromebook's poor volume, but the associates at Best Buy understood my needs and guided me to the solution. Excellent product, excellent service!

    I needed this speaker so I could listen to music at work without forgetting my phone on the desk when I run out my office at the and of my busy day and having to make that drive all the way back to the office to get it! This speaker saves me this headache and it's comforting while I'm at work.
