Portable & Powerful, with Great Features & Sound
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm very happy with the combination of portability, power, sound quality, and features that the SRS-XG300 has to offer! Design I love the look of the SRS-XG300! It's almost a cylinder with the ends a slightly larger diameter than the middle. The water-proof treated fabric wrapping the speaker looks great too and feels very strong. The handle completely recesses into the top of the speaker when it's down. It's easy to pull it up and it will stay up on it's own. There are six buttons on the top towards the front. The three on the left are power, Bluetooth, and Mega Bass. The three on the right are Play/Pause/Phone, Volume Up, and Volume down. On the back, protected by a rubber cover, there are two more buttons and three ports. The ports are a USB Type C for charging, a USB Type A for charging your phone or other devices from the speaker battery, and a 1/8" stereo line-in jack. The buttons are a Battery button and a Light button. Battery will announce the current battery level. Light turns the lights on and off. The lights only are seen from the sides but I do think they look cool. Sound Quality I think the quality of the sound is excellent. I tested with a number of different types of music over Bluetooth and using the line-in. I was impressed with the vocals as well as the instruments. I was able to hear nuances in music that I don't always hear. I tried with Mega Bass on and off and like having it on better. The app lets you choose between Mega Bass and Live Sound. Live Sound does give a bit of a fuller sound but I still tend to like Mega Bass. It's worth a try and could be better for some situation. You can set custom EQs too adjusting +/- 10 for Bass, Middle, and Treble EQs. I was wondering if a speaker like this would have stereo separation. I did some tests and, sure enough, it does. They don't really advertise it as that but it is a stereo speaker. I love the sound the SRS-XG300 puts out! It produces great quality, room filling sound! Features Waterproof - The documentation even mentions taking it to the beach, it just says to rinse off the sand and salt water after with fresh water. If feel like it could be hard to clean really well with the fabric mesh it's wrapped in and the thing looks so awesome I'd hate to ruin that but hey, apparently it's made for that! They do not mention that it floats or that is should be used while it's submerged. I didn't test any of that. USB Charging - I tested it and it worked well with my phone 25 hour battery life - The battery life is great! I've used it a lot, mostly with the lights on, and it just keeps going! The 24 hour rating is with lights off and volume at 24 (50 is 100% volume), and I think Mega Bass off too. Party Mode - Pair with another Sony Party mode speaker to have them play the same audio from a Bluetooth source, pair with an identical speaker and you have the option of using them as a stereo pair Battery Care - I wish every device had this, more are starting to offer something like it which is good. When on, this will limit the speaker to charging to 90%. That will improve the life of the battery (like for how many years the battery is still good). Note, always make sure to charge it to 100% first when you get it. That does something to activate Lithum Ion batterys. After that you can turn on Battery Care mode if you want. Turn it off to fill it a little more when you need it! Speaker phone - I did test and it does work fine as a speaker phone. The Apps There are two apps you'll want for this speaker. The first and most important is the Sony Music Center App. This gives you access to EQ setting, installs updates for the speaker, lets you select lots of different light settings, controls volume, and more. You'll need this app to use Party Mode and join it to another Sony Party Mode compatible speaker. Make sure you check into this if you have another Sony speaker and you expect to use this feature. Sony has other ways to connect wireless speakers and have them work with each other that are not Party Mode and not compatible with this speaker. The second app is Fiestable. This does other things too but to me the greatest value is that you can use it to make the lights on the speaker any color you want. You can really select probably any color possible from on a color wheel and the differentiation between colors is pretty good! Summary There are a few drawbacks that were not deal breakers and somewhat offset by some other features for me but so you're aware: - This does not let you play music off a USB flash drive - The app gives a ton of pre-sets for the lights but only two pre-set EQs (mentioned above) for some reason. It seems like Sony could fix that with an app update and give at least a handful of EQ presets Those aside, this is an excellent all around Bluetooth speaker with a great feature set!

Just OK
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is great for music but the bass is too much and as a result it lacks clarity for dialog. The battery also does not last very long. Overall it’s ok

Posted .Hi Sean,
We appreciate your feedback and we are sorry that you are having issues with your Sony Bluetooth speaker. If the Ambient Noise Sensing function is turned on, you can turn it off using the “Sony | Music Center” app. This feature cuts out the bass sound that is disturbed by the ambient noise to reduce power consumption by the speaker and preserve the battery power. The battery life of your speaker will depend on the settings, type of music you are playing and the unit's surrounding temperature.

Great Quality Build & Sound
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery goes quick with heavy use. Default Bass is much higher than it needs to be; a big problem for a lot of consumer models. Get the companion app if you want to tone it down to normal levels.
