    Sony never disappoints! This small wireless speaker sounds huge no matter where you place it. Lots of playback time. Several colors to choose from. Buying more for family

    Fantastic compact speaker. I plan on using at the beach, kayaking and outdoors since it is also waterproof. Got it for a great deal as well.

    I bought this when it was on sale for 39.99 as I thought that was a fair price and I have been wanting a portable speaker that is water proof or resistant for a while. After BB had a delay on my order I picked it. It didn't sound bad. Not a lot of bass but sounded clear enough. If I went to 100 volume it would distort. While I was buying some new wireless earbuds from Anker I saw that they also sold a portable speaker and it was on sale. I got the Flare Mini. Wow did it sound way better! It was a lot louder and had more bass. I also liked the light affect it had. I am returning this speaker as it's the same price for something that isn't anything more than average sounding.

    Great sound and plenty of base. May have to anchor it down because of the bass. Mine jumped off of my desk 2x. Definitely a great buy.

    She is the type that loves playing music all of the time. She clipped it to her backpack, and uses it when she goes outside. It being waterproof is a great plus as well.

    I had been listening to a radio station via an old CD player/radio. The antenna was broken so reception was sketchy at best. A friend suggested a Bluetooth speaker for my phone to listen via the radio app. I only bought it because I couldn't find a decent radio. When I brought it home, charged it up and turned it on . . . . I couldn't believe it. The sound was absolutely beautiful. I stood amazed that the little speaker produced such wonderful sound. I love it. I highly recommend it. From Classical music to talk radio . . . everything sounds so much better.

      Hi Slowtochange, Awesome! Thank you for purchasing our SRSXB12. We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying the sound quality despite its compact design. 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. We appreciate the recommendation and thank you for choosing Sony! -Sam Sony_US

    The size is perfect for taking to work, sitting on a nightstand, or using anywhere. Sound quality is fantastic considering its small size. If you want a high-end sound, this probably isn’t the speaker for you.
