Posted .Hi Tito, Thank you for taking the time to review your SRS-XE300 speaker. While we're glad you like most of the features and voice guidance associated with the remaining battery power, we're sorry to hear it hasn't performed to your standards when it comes to the bass sound and you find the speaker doesn't get very loud. We want to make sure you are getting the most out of your speaker.
By downloading the Sony Music Center app, you will find all sorts of tools to fine-tune the speaker using the built-in EQ and maximize the volume to ensure optimal listening experience. To get the most out of the volume, turn up the volume of the speaker and the connected device. You may also find different devices will perform better than others, as will different apps due to different types of audio compression and transmission.
Additionally, if there is ambient noise or another speaker nearby, the Ambient Noise Sensing function may activate and cause this issue. You can deactivate the Ambient Noise Sensing function using the Sony | Music Center app or speaker button. For more details, refer to this Help Guide link: https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xe300/v1/en/contents/TP1000669370.html
The XE300 speaker is perfect for bringing quality sound to your party. The Line-Shape Diffuser sends a wide sound all around, without compromising on quality. Plus, with a long battery life, portable size and impressive durability, this speaker is the perfect partner for your next party, wherever that might be. Thank you for choosing Sony! -Jess
Battery life claims are a lie
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price, I was hoping it would be able to get a lot louder. It definitely beats my old speaker, but that’s not saying much cuz my old one was like $10 and 1/5 the size. Also, the 16hr battery life is a complete lie. I get 3 hours before the low battery warning alert and can maybe get 4 hours out of a full charge. That’s really disappointing. Like why lie? Just say 4 hours max, that’s still a good battery.

Posted .Hi Mikey615,
Thank you for taking the time to review your SRS-XE200 speaker. We're so sorry if you find the speaker doesn't get very loud and it hasn't performed to your standards when it comes to battery life. We want to make sure you are getting the most out of your speaker. Depending on the connected BLUETOOTH device, volume adjustment on the BLUETOOTH device may not change the volume level of the speaker (i.e. the(power) indicator does not flash). When the volume of the speaker sounds low, adjust the volume level of the BLUETOOTH device to an appropriate one, and then adjust the volume level of the speaker with the +/- (volume) buttons on the speaker.
If the Sound becomes low while in use, refer to these helpful links:
https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xe200/v1/en/contents/TP1000611675.html
https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/speakers-wireless-speakers/srs-xe300/articles/00278737
The XE200 will give you 16 hours of play when the battery is fully charged, meaning a single charge should be long enough to power through any party. And Sony's unique mic sensing technology, Ambient Noise Sensing, helps save battery when used outside.
Built-in battery life (while the speaker is not in Battery Care mode and a BLUETOOTH connection is established)
Approx. 16 hours: Volume level: 31, STAMINA: on
Approx. 10 hours (default): Volume level: 30, STAMINA: off
Approx. 3 hours: Volume level: 50 (MAX.), STAMINA: off
The built-in battery life above is measured using our specified music source. Actual performance time may vary from the listed time due to the volume, songs played, surrounding temperature, and usage conditions.

Rugged, Stylish, Great Sound
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sony seems to make the best portable speakers out there. I picked this one as an upgrade to a the SRS-XB23 (which is still a great speaker). The XE300 has better sound to me. There are two features that have me using this every day. One, you can connect two devices to it at the same time, and two, it works well as a speakerphone. I have this connected to my phone for listening to music and podcasts throughout the day, and also paired to a laptop to use when I need to join meetings. The sound is great, a little bass heavy at first but can be adjusted in the Sony Music Center app. Using it for calls has worked surprisingly well. People on the other end said that my voice was clear and no issues. It is also very nice looking. While this is a rugged speaker, the texture almost looks like fabric, and it looks very nice. The shape is really nice for a rather bulky speaker, the angles make it easy to pick up or set on the side if you like. Having it out by the pool, there is no need to worry about splashes. Charging is done over usb type c, and charged very quickly. Battery life is great, I’m getting near the claimed 24 hours. This speaker can also be joined as a group with others (using the Party Connect feature). This allows all joined speakers to act as one, or you can join two together to make a stereo pair. I can’t think of any faults with this product, it seems perfect for my needs and I expect it to last for years.
