    I got this speaker as a gift for my wife and she enjoys it around the house and the pool. The sound is great and it's easy to set up and use. The set up with her iPhone 11 was seamless and it was working in about a minute, if that. The controls are easy to understand and use and I'd recommend this as a great all-around compact portable speaker.

    Great sound! This is the gift I didn’t know I wanted. I use it all the time. I have been really surprised how great this sounds compared to my old speaker. I love the look and the rechargable battery lasts a pretty good time as well, though I haven’t really tested the limits of battery life yet. I highly recommend.

      Hi Godschild369, Wow! Thank you for giving the product a perfect rating! Good to know you like sound quality especially with the extra bass, compact size, and great value of your XB12. 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

    Honestly, I adore this thing. I loved it so much that I got 2 more for my mom and sister. The sound quality is fantastic for something so small. Clear and crisp highs, deep and smooth lows. It gets plenty loud, and I have it going almost all the time at home. And when you sync two of them together? Who needs a soundbar...

    I've had no problems with my little speaker. It's meant to be water rated too, but I haven't had the opportunity to try it in a wet environment. The charge lasts well, and I experience no sound disruption when playing while charging (something I've seen prior). The value to quality is exactly what I would hope to expect.

    Best wireless product on the market! Easy to use, great sound and the size, color is fantastic. I actually purchased another one for a Christmas gift for another person and had to get one for myself. I've used it outside with other people and everyone all around found the sound to be wonderful. Highly recommend.

    If you are teetering on deciding which portable bluetooth speaker to buy, look no more. This amazing little speaker is amazing. Great sound; travels well; looks great. What more can I say. The first time I turned it on, I couldn’t believe my ears. At this price point, this speaker is a no-brainer. Buy it. I know I’m glad I did, I ended up buying 6 of them!

    Returned because they aren’t compatible with XB41

    As a stand-alone mini speaker I liked the XB12 but I didn’t need a stand-alone mini speaker. I wanted to use two of these with my XB41 as part of a party chain. These speakers can’t be paired that way so I returned them. On their own the sound was very good and they seemed durable. For that reason I’d recommend the speaker but not if you hope to use it in conjunction with an XB41.

    got this for work. Opened the box and ran battery dead. Charged over weekend. Took to work on Monday and ran it for a full 8 hours. Decided I'd run it every day until it died. Finally died with 2 hours left on my 5th shift of the week. Absolutely worth the price. Battery life 5 stars. Portability 5 stars. Sound quality 5 stars.

    I'm very satisfied with this purchase. I'm surprised you get so much bass from this little boom box. I like the handle on the boom box so you can carry it with you to parks and beaches.....just sync it with your phone (bluetooth) and play your favorite music. Thank you. With this pandemic , I want to try and make my back yard my oasis.

    We had no expectations from this speaker as any speaker will sound good in the store but may not outside. Our only hope was that it was sounding better than the speakers in the same segment. When we played it at a beach on high wind day, to our surprise, it was loud and clear enough for us. We in fact bought another one to gift it. Worth the price.
