    It’s smaller than what I expected, but it works really well. I use it when I’m outside grilling and the music loud enough.

    This speaker puts out good sound quality for being the size of a baseball. I use it when I clean the house and move it from room to room but it would also fill the house with sound from any room (It's loud!!).

      Hi CCC72, Thank you for the awesome review! We're very happy you like the sound quality, long-lasting battery life, and ease of use when taking phone calls. 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

    I bought these to link to my computer for better sound. I am in temporary quarters and did not to set up a full system. I chose this model because a pair can be synced. The instructions are those pictograms which leave users of any language equally befogged. But once I got over that I was very happy with the product. The sound quality is very good and not excessive on the base as I'd feared. They are very convenient as I move about the house. I do not use them when in a tele-conference as the microphone (at least on my computer) shifts to the speakers and results in that "under water" sound for the other participants.
