Music Upgraded
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you're a music lover, you'll love the Sony SRS-XG300. Its 'MEGA BASS' preset gives your music a warm and punchy sound that works well with a range of genres. The mid-range is balanced, which means vocals and lead instruments sound crisp and clear. However, the high-pitched vocals and instruments can sometimes sound dull. The speaker lacks low bass, which means you won't feel the deep thump and rumble in EDM or hip-hop. Luckily, you can customize the sound profile using the graphic EQ and presets in the companion app. But, even with customization, you may still not feel the desired thump and rumble. The speaker can get pretty loud, but at maximum volume, there's some compression that affects audio quality.

Well built, water resistant, ample sound horizon, simple connection to our music library through the iPhone; seems to have a healthy battery capacity as well. I got it on sale (thanks BestBuy helper!) so it was a reasonable cost and a good value.

Worth the money!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I was hesitant on writing this review only because I feel like I'm selling my JBL out lol But honestly this speaker is better. I waited a little to write to review just to make sure. We bought this for when we are out in the woods riding, we've carried it in backpacks on the bikes, used it while fishing (sitting on the bank) used it in a loud setting working in the house and during all of these activities the sound was never drained out. It packs a punch and gets the job done! Wayyyy to go Sony. Oh also we have gotten it wet with no problems at all. Not submerged wet but sat on embankment in the rain while fishing wet and it was fine afterward.

Impressive Sounding Bluetooth Speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is one impressive sounding Bluetooth speaker for its size. I preferred the sound of this XG300 over similar sized speakers from JBL, Bose, Marshall, etc. Nice deep bass and crisp mids and highs give this speaker a impressively rich sound. It has outstanding battery life and I love the fact that it can even charge other devices, such as my portable audio player or phone. The only negative thing I can say about this speaker is it's pretty heavy, probably due to it having a larger built-in battery than most other speakers this size. I don't feel this is a big problem because you usually put speakers like this down and leave them in place for hours at a time and I found a custom case for it on Amazon with a shoulder strap which is perfect for when you need to grab it and go. To me the weight is absolutely worth it for the extended battery life it provides. Nice work Sony!

Great Sony Sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker is great, the battery lasts a long time, the sound is excellent, Sony has a great balance between bass, mid and highs. It would be nice if they had put the battery and lights controls in front instead of behind the charger cover but that’s minor.

Great sound to fill a room
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this speaker to replace a surround sound system in our sun room to save space. It fills the room with great sound and the battery lasts quite a long time. Long enough that we don't really need to worry about it. My 8 month old enjoys the lights on the side. I like that it can pair to two devices at once as it is really convenient switching between the two.

Big speaker little sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have used this speaker many different environments enclosed and open spaces with varying noise levels. The positive aspects of this speaker is the bass and warmth of music played as well as the clarity. The app can be confusing but it is helpful when changing eq settings. Sony produced a high quality speaker but in open spaces with less surface for the sounds to reverberate the volume of the music leaves much to be desired. I was working with this speaker on max volume less than 15 ft away and i could barely hear anything out of it. I had to move in as close as possible (5ft) and even then the sound was not loud at all. Compared to my friends JBL extreme 3 which i can hear from over 50ft away! I am quite reasonably disappointed in loudness of the speakers in this unit , I’m sure sony had some design modifications to limit the true volume of this speaker so the battery life would be increased. I have multiple other bluetooth speakers who’s loudness and sound clarity is just as comperable as this one though they don’t have the bass that kicks. On sale it is a decent price for a heavy party speaker for at home or in a garage space not so much in large open areas. If i hadn’t thrown the box away i would return it, for now i will just use it at home where i can actually hear it.

Posted .Hi Lostcorndog,
Thank you for the purchase. We're sorry to hear if you're not satisfied with the sound quality of the speaker. If you use the speaker connected to the Music Center app, turn off the Equalizer or Surround (VPT) settings on the app and check to see if the issue is resolved. If the situation does not improve, initialize the speaker and try again. Here's the link on how to.

@ $199.99 take it while on sale.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I will summerize my return reasons for various speakers. Bose flex: too much voice, not enough instrumentation sound, mid bass is annoying. Megaboom 3: sounds hollow, no real dynamic sound, sounds like careboard. JBL extreme: too much treble, sounds cold. The sony sounds warm, treble is clean, bass is not boomy or missing and vocals sound pronounced, but not exaggerated to make the speaker sound big. Fills the living room nicely with noise. Easy and pleasing to my ears. I listen to spanish music. Good sound. Best value at sale price. Plus, you can add/reduce bass/treble with app, unlike others ive tried, the sony app adjustments actually make a dramatic difference. Also works as speaker phone.

Solid Budget Wireless Speaker
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .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
