      Hi Poor, Wow! Thank you for the 5-star review of your SRSXB23 speaker. We're glad you're enjoying the sound quality and portability of the unit. To get the most out of the volume, please try the different sound modes found in the Sony Music Center app, until you find the one you like for outdoor settings. There is even an EQ in there. You may also try the STEREO PAIR in which 2 SRS-XB23 speakers are required. By connecting 2 speakers via BLUETOOTH connection, you can enjoy a more powerful sound. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Jess Sony_US

Even if you drop it, the SRS-XB23 will keep on working. It also has an IP67 rating which makes the speaker dustproof, waterproof, rustproof and washable.

      Thank you for choosing Sony!

      Hi DPitt, We're sorry to hear that the charge doesn’t last for 12 hours. We apologize for the inconvenience. Charging time varies depending on built-in battery usage conditions. The built-in battery life below is measured using our specified music source.
      About 12 hours
      - The volume level of the speaker is set to 34.
      - The sound effect is set to STAMINA.
      About 10 hours
      - The volume level of the speaker is set to 31.
      - The sound effect is set to EXTRA BASS. (factory default settings)
      About 3 hours
      - The volume level of the speaker is set to maximum (50).
      - The sound effect is set to EXTRA BASS. (factory default settings)

      Actual performance time may vary from the listed time due to the volume, songs played, the surrounding temperature, and usage conditions.
