- Reviewed in Canada on May 14, 2021Colour Name: BlueVerified PurchaseI bought a pair of an earlier Sony model SRS-X11 in 2017 which are still working perfectly. When my wife wanted another pair for her work area I purchased these new Sony model SRS-XB12 and I haven't been disappointed. The battery life is excellent and pairing between speakers and source is straight forward and easier than the earlier model. They automatically reconnect to the last source and themselves when powered on. We take these when traveling for work and pleasure. Compact and light to pack for air travel. The volume is perfect for our offices and hotel rooms.
- Reviewed in Canada on December 31, 2019Colour Name: RedVerified PurchaseI had the XB10 and decided to get the XB12 in a pair as an upgrade.
I got the same orange colour, or so I thought when I ordered them. The Orange is a bit more burnt with the XB12, making it a bit of a disappointment out of the box for me. I enjoyed the vibrant colour of its predecessor more.
The XB10 had an attached rubber stand that you could rest the speaker on, which was great. The XB12 doesn't and when placed with the speaker facing up, as illustrated in the promo images, the sound quality fails to live up to a unit resting on a stand. Audio is directional, so having the speaker aimed at the ceiling doesn't really make sense and the bass is muffled when standing as well. Resting on its side is a better sounding unit, but it looks off with its big strap and no stand. Scratching my head as to why they went this way.
The strap that it comes with, instead of the threaded stand on the XB10, is sturdy. In terms of ruggedness, this is an upgrade. It can be strapped around something now, which the XB10 can't. I can see it being far more of a "on the belt/bag" speaker now.
We took a speaker tobogganing in about -15°c and it lasted the whole 2+ hours in the cold, after having been used for a bit before that. That's pretty decent battery life and once it warmed back up at home it didn't read as needing a charge anymore. Most things crap out pretty quick in the cold here.
We've got really dry snow where we are, the Yukon, so it got through the speaker grill and completely muffled/stopped the sound a couple of times, but was easy enough to bang and blow out. Not sure what it would be like with wet snow.
The pairing of the speakers has proved to have a bit of dropout/stuttering. This was a big reason why I got the new speakers and I'm a bit disappointed at this point.
I've paired the speakers to just my phone and had issues, as well as paired them to a Google home mini. When it's just a single speaker, it's good, but the L/R pairing has been hit and miss in its consistency of playing audio properly.
Compared to the XB10 as a Bluetooth speaker to use around the indoors, it's not as good.
In terms of being used outside and attached to things on the go, it's pretty great.
I wished that I hadn't sold my XB10 before these arrived, as I'd still use it over the XB12s in most applications. Great little speaker, just wish they'd managed to improve the older model without losing aspects that made the old one great.
- Reviewed in Canada on October 1, 2020Colour Name: RedVerified PurchaseI am using it for my backcountry hiking replacing the bear bell. Hooking with my smartphone through bluetooth, sound quality was surprisingly awesome. It could have more power output but connection is stable, although I do hike on scramble and leave my backpack with speaker hanging no gauges were found through out this season. No issues with rain, never had issues with battery life even though I do hike 8 to 10 hours a day. Maybe it's because I do shut it off when it's not necessary to be too cautious. I only had to charge the phone to play the music since I use hiking apps on the phone at the same time. Thinking of purchasing second one to play with stereo function.
- Reviewed in Canada on June 29, 2020Colour Name: GrayVerified PurchaseGreat little speaker that I love by our pool, or while getting ready in the morning. Not super loud if you want for a party, but I've used for get togethers where you need to hear your visitors 'talk'. Loud enough to get good vibe from my fave spotify playlists though. Great value and would highly reccomend. We have also a larger JVC one that cost a lot more, but also pumps out a 'too high' volume for most of our needs anyway.
- Reviewed in Canada on July 22, 2020Colour Name: RedVerified PurchaseAfter comparing this to the other offerings I found that the sound of this was better, especially the bass. One trick to it. If you are able to put it in an inside corner you will get a much richer sound. Also this is one of those products that work better with Android. It has perfect sync when watching videos, however, I've heard that this isn't the case when pairing to an iPhone. I currently own a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+
- Reviewed in Canada on August 3, 2020Colour Name: BlackVerified PurchaseThis is easy to use, the bluetooth connects to my smartphone in about 2 seconds and the quality of the sound is simply amazing! Lots of base and high notes too. Make sure you go into the settings on your phone and check the volume level. Some reviews have said this Sony unit doesn't have enough volume. Not so, I can blast my neighbours indoors with this little speaker. Well worth the money. My son has two Bose speakers and he paid $200 each. I paid $58 and my sound is just as good.
- Reviewed in Canada on August 3, 2023Colour Name: BlackVerified PurchaseWe bought this as a secondary speaker to go with one we already had so that we now have the ultimate stereo sound.
And the sound is absolutely amazing. Extra bass very clear great investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love my mini speaker!!
Verified PurchaseI’m incredibly impressed with my little speaker. I’m not going to lie, the purple color is what sucked me in and I’ve always been extremely happy with any Sony product I’ve ever purchased.
I’m not a tech person so I’m here reviewing my purchase as someone who wanted a reliable, small, easy to use Bluetooth speaker. The sound quality is great and the volume is fine for me. I didn’t expect to blow the neighbors away using a 3” speaker. I understand the difference between a full stereo system and a MINI portable speaker. My expectations were realistic and I wasn’t disappointed! I just purchased a second one to pair them. The battery life is excellent and as stated, is close to 16 hours in my experience. I had no issues with connection because I followed the provided instructions. My success was rewarded with two different beeps and I was ready to play my music in seconds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Impressive
Colour Name: BlueVerified PurchaseI had a small JamBox speaker that I used for business travel and camping for about 5 years and it bit the dust. I had demo'd this Sony at Target and was impressed by its sound - much better than JamBox in just a slightly larger form factor. I've had it now for about 2 months and really like it.
Pros:
- Great battery life - I am going on 2 days without charging it, streaming via bluetooth about 8 hours per day mix of from phone and an echo dot, and still going. I want to see how long it will really go. Impressive!
- Fairly full sound if you have it near a wall or corner.
Cons:
- Out in the open it looses some of the sound quality. Like most of these small speakers it needs something to bounce the sound off of.
- It has a push button on/off. When I travel I am afraid it will get pressed in and will turn on and I will end up with a dead speaker upon arrival at the destination. This has not happened yet with 3 trips. The Jambox had a slide on/off.
Unknown:
- It has a mic so I think I could use this for phone calls when paired with my phone but I have not tried it.
- Can also pair with a second one for stereo sound, also not tried.
Well worth the money.
UPDATE: I had this outside with me a little farther than the distance I used my Jam speaker at. The Jam speaker at this distance was spotty via Bluetooth. This Sony has better Bluetooth range by far.
