It has very good sound and very easy to connect with other devices. I used it on tv, mobile phone and laptop. Even the round rubber ring it has to hang it, has a special shape to convert it into stand for the speaker horizontal. The only negative I can find is that it can't pair with newest models like SRS-XB13 according to a sales man in a store. (please inform me if this is wrong)

I Have owned these speakers for over a year now and have no complaints whatsoever. Excellent sound and bass quality and great especially when pairing two of them together, along with the 16hr battery life... As such I have not tested the battery life time, but can assure you that the life time is more than sufficient enough for my usage. I travel quite a bit abroad with my work and they are my go to No1 speakers on all my current devices being used primarily for music when indoors or out, and also for watching and streaming media on my iPad/iPhone and Laptop. Sony have now released a newer version SRS-XB12 with minor changes but I am more than happy to keep using these but will defo advise on buying the newer model.

Up to now seems good value. But I do object to have to write a review of a designated length!
