    This is my second purchase of a Sony XB 12 speaker. I think it has a better sound the one I bought in 2016.

      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

    The Sony XB12 is the perfect size if you need a portable, pocketable waterproof and dustproof speaker. I was impressed how strong the bass is for such a small size. Pairing took a few seconds and despite being mono, the sounds is crisp, clear, and pleasant. I bought this to pair to a desktop PC as my desktop monitor doesn't have inbuilt speakers and I wanted something I could fit on my desk but also do dual use for a take with us on vacation speaker. Battery life is rate 16 hours, I have gone a day without a charge. I do wish Sony would switch to USB C but that's not a deal breaker, just I am trying to move everything I own to USB C.
