    This speaker is really loud and syncs perfect with Apple and Android. The strap on the side comes in handy when picking up. The bass is really good for such a small speaker. Sony never disappoints.

    My kids bought this for my husband for his birthday. He enjoys listening to his favorite music while working or barbecuing. It’s small and convenient to take everywhere. Love the fact that it’s waterproof too.

    Very happy with this speaker's audio quality and compact size. Easy to synch with tablet via Bluetooth. One criticism: I wish it had a better way to indicate battery life. A light flashes when it's low, but otherwise there's no way to know how full the battery is. Would definitely recommend.

    This little speaker has better sound than my Bose sound bar. I can use it camping, fishing, anywhere that I can get a connection. I can't believe I waited so long to get it. I think it was a great value for the price as well.

    I am using this as a simple computer speaking in leiu of full sized speakers. My Alienware computer has full surround sound via optical out to my home theater system. And my 4k monitor does not have built in speakers. This little guy gives me some decent sound when I do not want to power up the full surround home theater system just to hear some YouTube. Well constructed. Decent sound for such a small device. I don't have much to say about the battery life as it stays plugged in 24/7

    Great sound and bass. We fell in love with the first one we bought that we decided to get a second one. Beauty about it? You can connect both speakers and then become left and right surround sound...even better!

    Bought 2 to use poolside. Good battery life. They link great and keeps a good volume for their small size. Not as loud as the larger speakers but we returned the larger because of the poor battery life.

    Works flawlessly Even with an older iPhone (5s running iOS 12). Pairs quickly. Charge lasts at least 16 hours. Sound is good for a small speaker, and spoken word broadcasts are clear. A very good buy.

    I purchased this speaker for the blue tooth connection and it sounds great. The range is well over 100 feet from the source and the battery life is good.

    This speaker, while small and not taking up very much space, gives excellent sound. It also is great as it is mobile; I keep it at the office during the week and take it home for the weekend!

    This little Sony speaker pairs quickly via Bluetooth, and puts out a surprisingly louder and clearer sound than I was expecting. The battery life is excellent, and the recharge time is sufficient.

    This thing packs a punch for how small it is. If you need some good sound for you or a small group of people this will get the job done. Well worth it and the battery lasts a good amount of time. Worth it!

    Really good small portable speaker. Sound quality and battery life are really good for the size. Only complaint is it won’t link with other speakers like the larger models.

    At the point of purchase, it was recommended to buy 2 for stereo sound. This is a nice little speaker, and I do suggest getting the 2, as I only got 1, and it is very nice, but for a louder, more base sound, the 2 will work. Easy set up, very portable. Very much worth the price.

      Hi BD1959, Congratulations on your first SRSXB12 Bluetooth speaker! We're very pleased to hear you love the sound quality despite of 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

    This speaker has a great balanced sound. My husband really loves it! He said it was so easy to set up (he always stresses when setting any tech items up) and the sound is so much better than he expected.
