    Solid Budget Wireless Speaker

    This is a solid wireless speaker with very long battery life (10+ hours in my test). The sound quality is exceptional for the price. 99% of people will be unable to hear a difference between this Sony speaker and a Bose speaker at triple the price. I removed a star because of its stereo connectivity to another identical speaker. Using Sony’s proprietary music app, you are able to connect two together via Bluetooth for stereo play, however, I found that after approximately one hour, one of the two speakers would start popping and cutting out. I returned the suspect speaker and the same thing happened with the new one, which tells me it’s an inherent issue with the hardware. Firmware was up to date and the speakers were fully charged and not moving relative to the mobile device. You may or may not encounter the same issue.

      Hi WesActual,

      While we're glad that you like most of the features, we are sorry to hear you're having some audio cut out issue when using stereo pair function. Sound interruption may occur in the [AUTO] (Priority on sound quality) mode, depending on the setting of your BLUETOOTH device and ambient conditions. If you haven't yet, please try the following troubleshooting steps below to isolate the issue.

      The situation may be improved by changing the wireless playback quality settings or fixing the wireless playback mode to SBC on the transmitting device. Tracks recorded in high resolution may also affect the Bluetooth communication due to its large capacity. Switch the playback quality (codec) to Priority on stable connection.

      You can also use the Music Center app to configure and confirm the playback quality codec. Make sure to select SBC for Priority on stable connection. For more information, please access this help guide link: https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xe300/v1/en/contents/TP1000611663.html

      If you are still having the same issue, you can email us at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

    The Sony XG300 is an outstanding portable Bluetooth speaker that truly exceeds expectations. The sound quality is exceptional, with clear, balanced audio and impressive bass. The only minor drawback is that it’s a bit on the heavier side. However, considering its many benefits—such as excellent sound quality, long battery life, and a robust build—the weight is a minor trade-off. Overall, the XG300 is a high-quality portable speaker that delivers excellent performance.

      Hi ritcam,

      Thanks for sharing your review and experience with the XG300. We're glad that you like the sound quality, weight, and battery life of the speaker. Your feedback about the volume is greatly appreciated.

      For optimum performance, make sure that the software version of the speaker is up-to-date. Please refer to this link for more information:

      https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/speakers-wireless-speakers/srs-xg300/software/00283954

      Make sure to charge the built-in battery sufficiently. The sound may become low in the following cases. This is not a malfunction.

      -While the speaker is running on power from the rechargeable built-in battery, the sound may become low in the event that the rechargeable built-in battery is running out of power and the CHARGE indicator flashes slowly. This, however, does not indicate a malfunction.
      -When the ambient temperature of the speaker is high.

      You also have the option to adjust the sound settings of the speaker to tailor-fit the sound quality to your needs. You may find this link helpful:

      https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xg300/v1/en/contents/TP1000669923.html

      Additionally, you can use the Party Connect function and Stereo Pair function to enjoy a more powerful sound. You may refer to these links for more information:

    I needed a more powerful speaker and knew Sony would not disappoint. Love the portability and ease of pairing with my devices. I purchased this speaker for work and play. It has been great to use near my pool this summer. Everyone in my family wants to use it. I love the lights,, but usually leave them off to conserve battery life unless it's dark enough to really enjoy them. I'm a school librarian and use this daily with my classes. My older students are currently listening to a 6 minute podcast. I also pair the speaker with my phone while I use an app that adds sound effects to my library read alouds. My class sizes are large and this speaker has allowed students to hear anywhere in the room.

    This speaker is great. It is very user friendly and easy to connect to my devices. Is absolutely necessary and the sound carries well while I’m in the shower. Great budget friendly option for a good Bluetooth speaker. It works no matter where I am in the house, and doesn’t need charged too often. But when it does it gives me plenty of fair warning. Sometimes the sound can be a little muffled, but it’s okay because it balances well in small spaces that way. Very happy with this purchase. Would recommend.
