Disappointed
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So disappointed in this purchase. The sound had decent clarity but bass levels and overall loudness was far less than desired. I've paid $49 for Anker speakers that are louder and just as clear. Don't be deceived by the "LIVE LIFE LOUD" on side of box because it definitely is not loud.

Posted .Hi ScottA, we regret that the sound quality did not fully met your expectations. This is definitely not the experience we'd like you to have. We understand that everyone has a different expectation of what speakers should sound like. This is why we include the ability to fine-tune the sound to your liking in the Sony Music Center app.
Ref: https://helpguide.sony.net/speaker/srs-xe300/v1/en/contents/TP1000669365.html
We also recommend updating the software to Version 3100 or 4000. Updating the firmware improves connectivity and retention of the Sound settings.
I hope this helps but if you still need assistance, do not hesitate to drop us an email at socialsupport@am.sony.com with the following details:

Not for everyone.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you love music and want a speaker to fill the room--this isn't it. I love sony headphones and thought this would be a great investment based on the other reviews. It was terrible. The speaker design does not allow the music to be heard clearly away from the speaker. I know I'm an outlier, but if you love music and being surrounded by clear, crisp sounds--this is not the one. I returned it promptly.

Posted .Hi ErinB, We are sorry to hear about your experience with the SRSXE200 and had to return the unit. This is not the experience that we would like you to have with our premium products and we hope that you consider Sony again in your future purchases.

Disappointing
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had high hopes for this speaker. As a long time user of Sony headphones and one other of their bluetooth speakers I though it would be a solid upgrade to my already years old alternatives. After using the XE300, however, I'm flabbergasted. It doesn't sound much better than other no name brand speakers you could pick up for half the price. I was hoping this XE300 would finally unseat my old JBL Charge 4 as my goto bluetooth speaker. The Charge 4 has served me well over the years. It's taken it's share of abuse and yet it still sounds better. I don't understand it. Sony touts the bass of the XE300. I find it middling at best. They say that the new design provides room filling sound. I disagree and believe my older speakers do a much better job. In order to get the XE300 to sound anywhere close to my old speaker (which was simply paired and used) I had to go into eq settings and fiddle around. Even then the results weren't great. Depending on the type of music played, I'd have to go back and fiddle some more. Sony, you make some of the best headphones I've ever owned. Why do your bluetooth speakers always seem to fall short?

Disappointed
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is NOT loud as expected. It can fill a small room with good sound but once taken outside for outdoor fun, it loses all credibility as the sound has no real reach. I have an older $75 apeaker from Amazon that sounds way better. Too bad I can't return this item, I just tried it this weekend for an outdoor event and everyone complained on how low it sounded.

Not worth $200
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely awful speaker for $200, my old bose soundtouch 10 outperforms this by a mile. It is extremely quiet and muffled at any volume no matter the setting. It sounds like a speaker with a towel wrapped around it. Never again will I purchase a sony speaker
