Sony SRS-XB12 Mini Bluetooth Speaker with Extra Bass - Portable Wireless Speaker for Phone Calls - Waterproof and Dustproof Travel Music Speaker - Black (SRS-XB12/B) Review

My wife and I are eighty years old and have hearing problems. Bought a Sony XB12, it worked as soon as I turned it on when connected via Bluetooth to a Samsung 65 inch Smart TV. Bought a second XB12 and used the add wow function, the sound is much better than the tv speakers and we can both understand all the words even at medium volume. Really impressed. I have been using a wireless Sennheiser R175 and prefer these Sony speakers which cost less than a 4th dual headset RS 175. So far battery…

GENERAL: The main advantage of this small device is its portability and durability. Head to the beach or the pool, you'll have music that will last you all day without fear of battery drain or damage to this little darling. SOUND: This is good for a tiny little speaker. "Extra bass" is fool's gold. You really can't have much bass for a tiny 1.81-inch speaker. This is my bathroom shower and my beach speaker. Tested "Bass" with some Bassnectar. Well it's like a little engine that could, but no…

Tiny speaker that sounds great considering its small size. Loud in the room. Haven't tried it outdoors yet so I don't know how it is. Connecting via Bluetooth is easy. Battery life is good. The bass is good for its size. Of course this is a small speaker so I don't expect it to sound like a party. I'm not a bassist. Heavy bass sometimes annoys me, so I was afraid of "extra bass" which I almost never bought. The good thing is that the bass isn't overwhelming, just the right amount and for my…

Looks and feels good. Nice rubberized texture of the button is pressed well. The valve is not tight, but reliable. I like that there is an aux input. The sound quality is good, but not convincing. It's a snitch, not a boomer. The bass could be deeper. The highs and mids are good, and when paired in stereo with another XB12 the overall sound is much better. It steams fast enough. The stereo connection takes a few seconds. Once plugged in, it will never fall or lose strength. Sounds richer with…

My wife listens to music on her phone most of the day while she is working and hanging around the house at the weekend. Unfortunately she listens through the phone speakers which to me is like listening to nails on a blackboard or a room full of cats/kids screaming! Fast forward to a friend's party where someone took this little kid out and started streaming music to it. Wow! I grabbed my phone, opened the Revain app and bought it right away, right at the party. This little thing is good in…

At the age of 71 I know a thing or two about music and how it should sound out of a speaker. I also know how it should NOT sound like. Music should sound alive and happy. Melodic and rhythmic tones shouldn't hide behind a menacing dark curtain turning it into a sloppy, muddy mess. I wanted a small portable speaker that would fit in my travel bag. The Sony SRS-XB12 got me there, but only after a long and tiring journey. YouTube is a good place to listen to speakers. Use headphones and be aware…
