    I use it in my company work truck. Super heavy duty, very mild distortion at full volume, very durable, dropped several times and still sounds incredible!! Well worth the price!!!

    This speaker is excellent. The sound quality and battery life are the best. It works well since it can fit into a cup holder in a golf cart but the speaker part is on the top unlike others. This is an excellent product!

    We purchased this small speaker to have music playing in our home and boy, does it have great sound for its size! I would highly recommend this Sony speaker for anyone looking to purchase a smaller size.

    The sound fills a small or mid size room and great acoustics and battery life. Durable too - mine survived a good fall onto the sidewalk.

    Great wireless speaker for the price. Had for over a year and still works great. If you gave two, you can pair for stereo sound. Just keep paper instructions on how to pair the first time.

    I bought this for my son for Christmas. He is very happy with the sound quality, including the amazing bass from such a small speaker. It also requires charging very infrequently.

    This is absolutely small and compact yet punchy and clear . No distortion at high volume like the older sb10. But I like the old strap with holder unlike new one with fabric loop.

    Good little speaker. No complaints as it's easy to get connected and the battery seems to last a long while. Sounds decent for the size of the speaker. I'd prefer more bass but it's small so I didn't expect it to be top-notch. I would buy again though.

    The Sony - SRS-XB12 is easy to use. The size, rugged construction and portability are excellent. The sound is good, though not great. for time to time, Best Buy has put these speakers on sale. Once you factor in the price, I can say that the Sony - SRS-XB12 is great!

    Surprisingly clear sound with high volume and good bass tones. Very much worth the price in my opinion and a definitely sound quality upgrade from out previous, much larger, and more expensive bluetooth speaker.

    I like that you can connect two speakers together, this keeps from many different songs being played by others phone or speakers. Small enough to fit in the cup holder and great sound
