    This is a good little speaker. I can't say it is the best but I'm happy with it. I had to Google to learn how to pair with devices. I don't know why no one will include decent directions with their product anymore.

    A bit smaller than I expected, but the sound is not bad for it’s size. It’s used for a small home gym, so it gets the job done. Battery life is also pretty good.

    The sound quality is excellent. But when making phone calls through the speaker, both parties could hear unfamiliar voices in the conversation. Very creepy. So I just use it to listen to music from my phone. That’s what I bought it for any way!

    The sound quality is good but the overall output of this speaker is a bit quiet. It has a bit too much bass for my taste so some things can sound a bit muffled. In general it is a good speaker for a smaller space.

    Single speaker is clear with good base. Pairs easily with my tablet and two can be paired for great stereo sound. Well worth the price especially when they are on sale.

    The laptop and projector sounds are too quiet to show a video to a group. This inexpensive device allows me to use a video as part of a presentation with great sound.

    I bought this one because I can manually connect an older ipod to it. There are not too many portable speakers that offer that feature anymore. The bluetooth works fine. The speaker part is on top of the device so the sound is fine, just not big.

    Has pretty solid range for blue tooth and great sound quality. If you're looking fir stronger bass capabilities I'd consider the larger bar blue tooth speaker.

      Hi DebS, That's great! We're very pleased to hear that the sound quality of the XB12 was able to exceed your expectations. 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
