    This speaker is great! It gives the listener a great crisp sound with clear bass. It's great that it also fits in my car cup holder. This speaker is perfect for almost anywhere, the car, beach, and any outdoor gathering. The battery has the longest life I have seen in a battery operated device; it lasts what seems like forever. I used it for at least 7 hours straight without ever a worry the battery would die. I have not tested its ability to work in water, but so far it has held up to drops, my dogs, and dirt, with no adverse effects. I would get another one to pair the two and make a perfect left, right speaker for my office. Overall a great little speaker, with excellent sound, at a small price!

    These speakers are decent enough. I wish they were louder. The bass can be a bit much but they are clear sounding overall. Bought these for a camping trip so to that end they worked well enough.

    This speaker is not extra bulky in size, but has great sound power. It was easy to sync with our phones. I would definitely recommend this speaker if you are searching for one!

    I love the packaging, size and especially the strap. Not impressed with the sound but it does do the job. I bought it for traveling and I am sure it will be perfect.

    It's a great look and durable with good battery life but the sound volume of the speaker isn't so great. I was hoping for something loud when I bought it but I was a little let down. Good price though.

    This little speaker is great for personal entertainment. It’s size makes it extremely portable. It was easily set up via Bluetooth by just powering it on and then holding down the power button for a few seconds. Once the blue indicator light begins to flash search for the speaker on your device and your connected. The XB12 has a good sound and I can take it everywhere I go, to include doing shop work. I have another speaker of the same size that has a little better sound. I definitely recommend this speaker and I like the fact that while I was working outside in the yard in the rain not one hiccup. The XB12 kept the tunes playing.

    The speaker is great, but as the battery dies so does the sound. That is expected, BUT you can't plug it in to recharge and bring the volume back. My son brings it home from work each night to recharge it and carried it back the next morning.

    Think they are making the small ones cheaper to maKe you spend more for sometime more pricier. I say that because I had another Bluetooth speaker from Sony from a few years back to just recently called The Cube, and boy did it have good power last long between charges & volume was vary loud , loved it ! Well sorry couldn’t say that about this one, maybe when they put it in the open box return sale items someone will think different.

    At first, I barely had the volume turned up and the sound was clear and loud. With the extra bass Sony brags this item has. Four months later (exactly four months) and now it bare can heard at max volume. Very disappointed. I will not recommend or buy this again.

    An ok speaker for the price. Is very portable. Wanted something louder. But if you want something small and not too disturbing this speaker is for you.
