      Hi KenMo, Wow! Good to know you appreciate the overall sound quality and price point of your SRSXB12. We hope you are enjoying the easy portability with a detachable strap.

    This little compact speaker packs a great sound. I got it to play music in my small office space. We then replaced it with a Google Home for ease of voice commands, but then immediately noticed the poor sound quality. We went back to this Sony speaker. It's connected via bluethooth to our iPad and works great.

    I love the quality of this little speaker! The sound quality is so much better than my phone, and the build quality is excellent. I find myself using it more and more as a speakerphone too, because it's so much easier to hear and understand the caller with it. It's definitely exceeded my expectations.

    I have known Sony sounds system since I was a little child and now in my 60+years it’s still great. This actual product is EXCELLENT. The sound output from this little companion is better experienced than imagined and that’s only possible when go out there and buy yours. You will not be disappointed
