    This little speaker delivers very pleasant sound. It distorts a little at full volume but given its small size that's not a knock. The battery is sufficient to last a good 10 hours.

      Hi NickE, That's great! We appreciate your feedback. Good to know you like the sound quality and long-lasting battery life of the unit. 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. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US

    Bought this for a recent beach trip. Small size and low weight makes it easy to take in a carryon. Easy to take to the beach and has a great sound for the size and price

    This is a great speaker with full sound for the low cost of $40. It did well on the beach and the boat out on the ocean. I use it everyday while getting ready for work and the charge lasts for days.

    So far it has been great. Just the right size not to take up too much space. It seems like it's going to be durable if dropped. Got it on sale at $39.99. Good deal.

    For a relatively inexpensive price this speaker works well! Indoors for a speaker in the bathroom during a shower or outside by the pool. Synced to my iPhone easily and doesn’t disconnect.

    Sound quality on this little speak is just excellent. Battery backup is also great. Mic is okay but my main use of this is to hear songs in my kitchen. Servers it’s purpose.

    This Bluetooth speaker works great. It’s best for personal use in smaller spaces or in the garage working out. Not loud enough for large outdoor space. It makes a great gift.

    These tiny speakers sound amazing. They’re can’t compete with big studio monitors but they’re great for audio on-the-go. They easily pair up with your Bluetooth phone.

    Needed a speaker to use on my deck and this works great! Have not had to recharge yet, has great, full sound and I linked with Sirius XM to access music and more. I have not figured out how to link using Alexa, though. The app doesn’t locate the speaker.

    We tried a different speaker before the Sony, but it did not have volume control on the speaker, which didn't work for our application. Good sound, easy to pair and nice to look at.

    Fantastic sound comes from this little speaker. Bought it for my 74’ Vette. It’s small enough to place while driving but the volume is perfect. Highly recommend this product.

    It was much louder than I thought it would be and was crystal clear. I would definitely recommend. If you want something small with lots of power this is the speaker for you.
