      Hi Jammer, We really appreciate this awesome feedback! We're glad you're enjoying the sound quality despite its compact size. 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

    Bought this item for my daughters 18th birthday, not knowing if she would even like it. To my surprise, she has gravitated to this item so much that I have not gotten any peace and quiet in the house. Turned out to be the perfect gift for my princess.

    I purchased online and didn’t see that these speakers were not Party Chain capable. Can’t comment on the quality, I’m sure they’re fine, but they weren’t capable of what I purchased them to do without the Party Chain feature. Returned to Best Buy, no hassle at all.

      Hi RobG, We regret to hear that the unit had to be returned. The SRSXB12 is capable of connecting to another XB12. However, it doesn't have a Party Chain/Party Connect feature. I would suggest checking out our other Sony Bluetooth speakers, such as the SRS-XB43, SRS-XB33, SRS-XB23. -Sam Sony_US
